The Catholic parish church of St. Jakobi in Neustadt in the Black Forest , also called Münster St. Jakobus or Münster zu Neustadt or Neustädter Münster , was built from 1897 to 1901. The silhouette of the building, based on the late Gothic style , has a defining effect on the cityscape.

history

Previous buildings

The cathedral had three previous buildings. The first was the parish church from 1275, which was destroyed by fire in 1693. The second, built in the same year, fell victim to the negligence of passing troops in the Napoleonic Wars in 1796 . A third church was quickly built, but it did not correspond to the size of the parish and its interior decoration was "without artistic value" according to the art and church historian Franz Xaver Kraus . Therefore, it was replaced by today's cathedral in 1897.

The construction from 1897 to 1901

Construction of the minster began on September 1, 1897, and the laying of the foundation stone was celebrated on June 5 of the same year . The design was created in the building department of the Archdiocese of Freiburg under the direction of the architect Max Meckel ; Johann Happle acted as site manager. Since the people of Neustadt also worked at night, the roof structure was made as early as 1900. Several thousand marks were donated for the two extremely valuable Gothic altars by Joseph Dettlinger . Until December the church was completely roofed and plastered in white. The city pastor Hermann Rinkenburger had collected suggestions for his project while traveling. The construction of the 68 meter high tower was finished the following year. The keystone was set on July 30, 1901. In 1907 the ceremonial consecration took place by the Freiburg auxiliary bishop Justus Knecht . The building of the cathedral cost 650,000 marks.

description

architecture

The Neustädter Münster towers over the other buildings of the city with its 68 meter high tower. Like the entire church, this is made of red sandstone and is plastered in white. The strut beams on the choir have remained unplastered. The monastery windows are from 1904 and were painted in the late Gothic style. They give the typical flair of late Gothic churches. Because of its massive construction, the church was named "Münster" after completion, although it is a parish church.

Bells

In 1902 the cathedral received six bells from the Grüninger bell foundry in Villingen . In 1942 they were melted down for the manufacture of weapons. They were supposed to be brought down to be melted down during the First World War, but were saved from destruction by the parish priest Hermann Rinkenburger .

In 1949 a seven-part bell was cast by the Albert Junker bell foundry in the so-called Brilon special bronze. It is the largest connected chime by Junker , cast in heavy rib , in special Brilon bronze. The chime sounds in the melody sequence of the extended Salve Regina in minor. The bells hang in a three- story steel bell cage . The bells are integrated into the tower clock by the quarter (bells, 4, 5 and 6) and the repeating hour strike (bells 1 and 2).

inside view

The interior of the cathedral, also built in the late Gothic style, has a height of 18 meters in the central nave. The cathedral houses three carved altars from the years 1903, 1906 and 1911. Inside, the frescoes of saints on the connecting lines of the pillars are striking. The ceiling painting of the choir comes from Carl Philipp Schilling . The large windows decorated with Gothic paintings are each marked with the name of their donor. A total of 300,000 marks were spent on the interior of the minster, 75% of which were donations.

organ

organ

The organ in Neustädter Münster goes back to an instrument made by the organ building company Wilhelm Schwarz & Sohn (Überlingen) in 1910. It had 30 stops on two manuals and a pedal and was equipped with a pneumatic cone shutter. As a play aid, it had eight "couplings" and six "collective steps". The Schwarz organ was replaced in 1995 by a new instrument, built by Georg Jann (Laberweinting), reusing a number of preserved registers from the predecessor organ by Schwarz. Today the instrument has 51 registers (slider drawers) on three manuals and a pedal. The game actions are mechanical, the stop actions mechanical and electrical.
