St. Jakobi Church (Peine)
The St. Jakobi Church is the main Evangelical Lutheran church in the Lower Saxony district town of Peine . The neo-Gothic hall church was built from 1896 to 1899 according to plans by Eberhard Hillebrand . Alexander Linnemann designed the rich painting and picture windows .
history
In the first quarter of the 13th century at the latest, the first St. James Church in Pein was built on the market square. Like the parish churches of the city of Hildesheim , whose council was subordinate to Peine at the time, St. Jakobi became Lutheran in 1542.
The old church was destroyed in the great city fire of 1557. When the city was rebuilt, it was decided to enlarge the market square. The new Jakobikirche was built a few hundred meters southeast at its current location. With the exception of the tower, this building had to be replaced by a new building as early as 1692, a simple baroque church with a barrel vault , which was given fourteen supporting pillars in 1726 for structural reasons. This church was demolished in 1895 because it was dilapidated, but also for the sake of representation. In the following years, today's building was built, which was inaugurated on March 19, 1899.
architecture
St. Jakobi is a sandstone block building in clear shapes based on the early Gothic . The single-nave , three-bay nave is crossed by a short, lower transept and opens into the equally wide, straight-closing chancel, in whose wall a round tracery window is inserted. The sacristy is attached to this like a low apse . The high square tower above the columnar portal dominates. It has four gables, a cross roof and a tall, slender roof turret on top . Four Romanesque -looking octagonal stair towers - lower on the portal flanks, higher on the choir - give the building an additional charm.
Furnishing
When entering the church, the first thing that catches the eye is the wealth of colors and figures in the painting and the leaded glass windows . After being overpainted in 1937 and 1962, the murals were faithfully restored in 1992–1994. Biblical series of pictures are combined with floral and tapestry-like ornament fields and banners. Alexander Linnemann's design, which was inspired by the Wienhausen nuns choir and executed and completed by his son Otto , is today considered a particularly successful example of historicist church painting . The altarpiece and pulpit , made of light sandstone with rich images and pinnacles , fit harmoniously into the room. From the previous church that of the Danish general and originate bailiff of Peine Daniel Rantzau donated relief decorated bronze baptismal font from 1561 and a number of grave monuments, including as the most important the great Renaissance - Epitaph of Curt von Schwicheldt of the 1575th
organ
For the old church an organ is documented as early as 1376, which was built near the altar. Ernst Heinrich Schöne (Holzminden) built an organ with 17 registers, two manuals and a pedal in 1642 , which was transferred to the new church from 1692. In 1699 an organ gallery was built. This organ was replaced in 1747 by the Hanoverian court organ builder Christian Vater , who created a three-manual instrument with 32 registers. In 1848 Eduard Meyer (Hanover) carried out an extension to III / P / 36. After the church and organ had been torn down in 1895, Furtwängler & Hammer (Hanover) built a new organ as opus 390 in 1899, the same size as in 1848, but with a pneumatic action and pocket drawer, which was expanded to III / P / 41 in 1927.
Today's organ is a work of the Hammer company from 1963. The swell mechanism was initially prepared for expansion; In 1974 eight registers were installed. The organ was extensively renovated in 2011 by the organ builder Christoph Grefe (Ilsede), the console was renewed and the swell was completed. Since then, the slider chest instrument has had 50 sounding stops on four manuals and pedal, ten couplers , three tremulants and two swellings (for breastwork and swellwork). The action actions are mechanical, the links are electrical (realized by valve magnets with programmable logic controls). An electronic typesetter system with tens of thousands of memory locations is available for register control. The disposition is as follows:
