Predigerkirche (Rottweil)
_interior.JPG)
The Predigerkirche (actually St. Peter and Paul) is the Protestant parish church of Rottweil in Baden-Württemberg . For centuries the church was the monastery church of the Dominican monastery in Rottweil . After Rottweil's transition to Württemberg in 1802/03, it became a Protestant parish church.
history
The church was built from 1268 at the instigation of Albertus Magnus as a monastery church for the Dominican monastery in Rottweil and presumably consecrated in 1282. During the siege of Rottweil in the Thirty Years' War by the troops of the French Marshal Guébriant in late 1643, the so-called miracle of the turn of the eyes occurred , after which the pilgrimage to the church began. In the years 1753 to 1755 the church was redesigned in a late Baroque style; among other things, a Gothic rood screen was removed and the altar area redesigned. The Marien Altar of the Miracle is today in the Heiligkreuz-Münster. After Rottweil came to Württemberg in 1802/03 , the monastery was closed and in 1806 the church was left to the Protestant members of the Württemberg garrison in Rottweil. In 1818 the building was finally elevated to the status of a Protestant parish church for the Protestant community in Rottweil, which had previously been looked after from Flözlingen . In 1924 the church was extensively renovated. Another renovation took place between 1970 and 1974, also due to the damage caused by billeting numerous prisoners of war after the Second World War; the two bells were cast in 1950.
The billeting of an estimated 30,000 prisoners of war in the preacher's church under inhumane conditions was commemorated on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the end of the war in 2020. The inscription "There were bitter hours that we will never forget" was scribbled on the raw wood of the organ case.

organ
The organ of the Predigerkirche was built in 1976 by the organ builder Peter Vier (Oberweier) in an existing organ case. Some registers of the previous organ , which had been built by the organ builder Weigle around 1900, were reused in the instrument . The abrasive loading -instrument has 31 registers (2057 pipes ), including 5 pre-trains to two manuals and pedal . The first manual is designed as a coupling manual . Nine registers of the main work are on alternating loops and can be registered with a half-pull on the pedal. In the course of renovation work in 2013, the oboe register (originally built as a 4 ′) was set an octave lower, so that the possible uses have been significantly expanded. The Zimbelstern was also added at this point.
