St. Agnes (Angermund)
The Catholic Church of St. Agnes is in Düsseldorf-Angermund . It was built as a parish church after the Thirty Years War . The parish of the same name belongs to the Catholic parish community of Angerland / Kaiserswerth.
history
Angermund belonged to the parish of Kalkum until the Thirty Years War . It had a chapel from the 9th century. In 1632 this chapel was destroyed.
Duke Wolfgang Wilhelm von Berg made a plot of land available for the construction of a new chapel. In 1646 the outer walls were finished, in 1651 the shell was finished. In 1658 the first service took place in the new chapel. The official consecration took place on August 9, 1697.
In 1669 the church was badly destroyed after a fire and was restored until 1697.
In 1703 Angermund became an independent parish, St. Agnes parish church.
In 1870 the church was expanded and converted into a neo-Romanesque basilica by the architect August Carl Lange , and in 1953 a thorough renovation and repair of war damage by the architect Theo Scholten . The historic interior painting fell victim to this renovation.
architecture
The church was laid out as a hall church with a gable roof. The construction consists of rubble stones. The roof was held in place by wooden supports. The bells were in a roof turret.
In 1870 the church was rebuilt according to plans by the builder Lange. Instead of wooden supports, pillars were erected, the resulting central nave was raised and equipped with five upper garden windows. Since then, the church has had three aisles. In addition, a bell tower has now been built. The expansion was done with bricks.
Furnishing
Way of the Cross
The Stations of the Cross are by the Angermund church painter Heinrich Nüttgens . After Vatican II they were replaced in 1967 in the course of a redesign of the church with modern bronze stations of the cross. But in 1996 the community decided to remove the modern Way of the Cross and hang up Nüttgen's Way of the Cross again.
organ
The organ was built in 1933 by the organ builder Johannes Klais . The Kegelladen instrument has 46 stops on three manuals and a pedal . The playing and stop actions are electric.
