The Protestant church in Mannweiler-Cölln is on the B 48 through road in the small community of Mannweiler-Cölln in the North Palatinate Uplands . Mannweiler-Cölln is now part of the Finkenbach parish in the church district or the Obermoschel dean's office of the Evangelical Church of the Palatinate . As a rule, a service is celebrated in the church every 14 days.
history
The Protestant church in Mannweiler-Cölln was built in its current form according to plans by the district building officer Steinbauer from Alsenz in 1860/61. It is the successor to several churches in the desert of Menzweiler, where a church was first mentioned in 1366. The village of Menzweiler became deserted in 1627, but the last church existed until the 19th century above today's cemetery, when it was abandoned due to the movement of the slope. The name Menzweiler was still used for the parish of Mannweiler-Cöllns well into the 20th century.
Architecture and equipment
Building design
Today the single-aisled hall church stands on federal road 48 , between the districts of Mannweiler and Cölln, and follows the Alsenz valley in a north-south direction. The east-west orientation that is otherwise typical for churches had to be dispensed with due to the local geographic conditions. The church tower with sacristy and bells follows the nave in the north .
Paintings and furnishings
During the last extensive interior renovation, the church was redesigned. The interior of the church appears in a new color concept with its architectural and furnishing elements. The church received a new floor with natural stone slabs and a block altar made according to individual designs in sandstone and a baptismal font with round stele and gold-plated bowl. In the wall design of the window frames was determined by the commonly encountered colored settling window surrounds omitted. Placed elements made of steel profiles in round tubes, which take up the window structure in a stylized way, instead structure the church interior walls discreetly in terms of surface area and also spatially through the throwing of light and shadow. A spoil from the first post-medieval church in Menzweiler was built on the north wall above the gallery . It bears the inscription: ANNO 1582 HABEN / GEMEINE HERSCHAFT STOLTZ / ENBERG DIESE KIRCH LAS / SEN BAVVEN MENTZWEILER / IN APRIL . The organ with the tendril adorned prospect was made in 1869 by Carl Wagner Jr., Kaiserslautern . There is also a war memorial in the church.
