St. Urbanus Church (Dorum)
The St. Urbanus Church in Dorum is a church consecrated to St. Urban , the oldest parts of which were built in the 13th century. There were two previous buildings, a wooden church and a tuff stone building that was built around 1100. Alongside the Willehadi Church in Wremen, St. Urbanus is one of the main churches in Wursten . The region's prosperity at that time is evident in the size and furnishings of the churches.
The parish of Dorum belongs to the parish of Wesermünde in the Evangelical Lutheran regional church of Hanover .
Building
It is a single-aisled hall building , the nave of which consists of unhewn granite field stones. The window frames are changed on the south side with brick masonry. In the east is the three-aisled hall choir , which was expanded around 1510 and built with bricks. The choir roof towers over the roof of the nave. The east gable of the choir is structured by blind niches. The west tower was built in 1750–1751 on the plan of its predecessor from field and brick, executed by master mason Goetze from Rothenburg. It is completed by a pyramid helmet from 1757. The entrance portal on the west tower is not original. It dates from 1920.
Interior
structure
The simple nave has a beamed ceiling and receives light through large three-part windows on the south wall, which were built at the same time as the choir in 1510. The three-aisled Gothic hall choir adjoins it to the east . Its net vault rests on four round brick pillars.
Furnishing
- Ceiling painting
- The late Gothic painting in the choir vault shows the Last Judgment with the central figure of Christ. Mary and John sit on either side of a rainbow as intercessors before Christ's throne. Angels hover around the scene above, the dead rise from their graves below. A fish monster appears on the right with a devil.
- The altarpiece was created in 1670 by Jürgen Heidtman from Otterndorf . It has four zones with winding columns and is richly decorated with reliefs, cartilage and statuettes.
- The baptismal font from the beginning of the 13th century is made of Belgian marble. It shows head consoles and tendrils on the wall. The eight-sided wooden lid dates from around 1670.
- The polygonal pulpit was created between 1618 and 1620 by Michael Ringmacher, a carver from Otterndorf. It contains a total of 17 fields with picture reliefs. On the side facing the choir, seven virtues are depicted, on the congregation side nine biblical scenes and one other virtue. Corinthian columns , cartouches and angel heads form rich jewelry.
- The free-standing, tower-like tabernacle has filigree Gothic shapes. It dates from 1524 and consists of Baumberger limestone.
- On the North Sea coast there are only three other sacraments, namely in Arle , in Norden and in Tettens .
- The church has two wooden crucifixes, one Romanesque from the first half of the 13th century (four-nail type) and one late Gothic from the middle of the 15th century.
organ
The organ of the Urbanus Church was built into the existing historical organ case from 1765 in several construction phases by the Hillebrand organ building company from 1964 to 1984 . The case comes from the organ builder Johann Matthias Schreiber (Glückstadt). The organ work has 22 sounding stops on two manuals and pedal . In 2004 the disposition was changed slightly in the course of a renovation.
