St. Anna in the dawn

The St. Anna Church is the Catholic parish church of Neuenkirchen in Westphalia . As a landmark that can be seen from afar, it towers over all the buildings in the municipality. The church was built under pastor Bernhard Bette between 1896 and 1899 according to plans by the architect Wilhelm Rincklake from Münster and was consecrated on September 27, 1899 by the Münster bishop Hermann Dingelstad .

In the years from 2009 to 2019, the church was extensively restored because cracks had formed in the plaster of the church.

Construction and role models

In his monumental building in the neo-Romanesque style, Rincklake orientated himself on the early Romanesque church buildings in the Rhineland . The model for the church was also the Andernach Mariendom , whereby the double towers in particular have great similarities. At the same place there were at least two previous buildings, the oldest of which was built in 1247. The current church building is a basilica with a transept and two towers on the north side and an octagonal roof turret on the crossing .


organ

The organ was built in 1957 by the organ building company Romanus Seifert & Sohn (Kevelaer), whereby the registers of the predecessor organ by Friedrich Fleiter (Münster) from 1911 were largely reused. The instrument was extensively renovated in 1998, with the organ being expanded by an additional fourth manual (solo work). The organ today has 60 stops on four manual works and a pedal .

As part of a further restoration in 2018–19, the organ was supplemented by three more stops and digitized for 245,000 euros. After a revision, the console from St. Dionysius in Rheine (no longer sufficient due to an expansion of the instrument there) was taken over as a new console . The diocese took over 150,000 euros of the total costs of the expansion measures, the remainder had to be raised by the community. After this expansion, the instrument with its more than 4000 pipes is one of the largest and most valuable organs in the diocese of Münster.
