The Evangelical Lutheran St. Jakobi Church is the church of the former parish Neuende, which is now the oldest church in the Neuende district of Wilhelmshaven .

environment

The church stands on a 3 m high wurt in the coastal march , but nowadays in the middle of the urban settlement area, a good kilometer west of the from 1383 under the Jever chief Edo Wiemken the Elder. Ä. built Edenburg , the later Sibetsburg razed by the Bremen in 1433 . In papal documents it is mentioned as "capella sancti Jacobi zu Insmerhave", later "zu Nieyennede".

It was built in three construction phases: In the early 13th century, the Romanesque choir was built from granite blocks , but the apse has brickwork halfway up. It is the last remaining part of the first church building at this point, which was possibly destroyed during the Second Marcellus Flood in 1362. Traces of the first nave were found in investigations in 1973/1974. The nave was built in the 14th century from brick and now has a round arch and seven pointed arch windows. The undoubtedly late Gothic tower was added to the west end of the already existing nave in the first third of the 16th century.

Furnishing

The 105 cm high baptismal font , made of gray sandstone, dates from the first half of the 13th century and is decorated with ornaments.

In 1647, nine years after the death of the sculptor Ludwig Münstermann , one of his students, or his son Claus Münstermann, made the oak pulpit, which was richly carved .

In 1664 the altar with an original altarpiece with Last Supper painting, imaginative columns and a sweeping canopy and the knees to the right and left of it were made and placed in the church.

Two bronze bells from the renowned Otto bell foundry from Hemelingen / Bremen, which were cast in 1969, are ringing from the tower of the New Church . They sound on the striking notes f 'and as'. The space for a third is still available. Earlier bells were lost, shattered, or had to be given in during times of war.

graveyard

Around the church is the old cemetery with some well-preserved historical grave steles and grave cellars. The church, the churchyard and the old tombstones have been under monument protection since December 7, 1949 .
