St. Petri Church (Hüsten)
The St. Petri Church in Hüsten is a Catholic parish church. Its history goes back to the 9th century. Today's building dates back to the 1860s, with the exception of the tower, which basically dates back to the 12th century.
History of the parish
The Hüsten parish was founded from the original parish of Menden . A document from the Essen-Werden Abbey mentions a gift of goods to Saint Ludgerus, the second patron of the parish alongside Peter, for 802. The church in Hüsten was thus one of the main parishes in the Sauerland. The area of the parish originally comprised the entire Röhr valley and today's Arnsberg urban area. In 1179, Hüsten was still officially the mother church of the nunnery in Oelinghausen, which was founded in 1174 . The parish of Hüsten names the corresponding document for the first time.
In the course of the following centuries, other parish districts such as Stockum , Arnsberg (1173), Neheim (late 13th century), the Wedinghausen , Oelinghausen and Rumbeck monasteries were separated. Wedinghausen provided the pastors of Hüsten from 1363 until secularization at the beginning of the 19th century. Further parishes took place in the 19th and 20th centuries.
Building history
The first church building was made of wood. A stone building followed around 1150. The building was a Romanesque pillar basilica . There was a central nave and two aisles. In order to create enough space for the visitors from Hüsten and the surrounding villages, stages were built. There was a Herdringer stage, a Müscheder stage and others.
After a fire in the 15th century, the church was rebuilt in the old style. In the 17th century the tower was raised by a few meters.
In the 19th century the building finally turned out to be too small. In 1844 there were 2390 parishioners. The church only offered space for a maximum of 800 people. The first plans for a new building go back to 1831. But due to financial difficulties, construction did not begin until 1861. The architect Vincenz Statz was a student of Ernst Friedrich Zwirner . The old building was demolished except for the tower.
The new building is a neo-Gothic hall church . It is about 40 m long, 18 m wide and 13 m high.
Furnishing
The equipment comes mainly from the 19th century.
