History and architecture

The church with the patronage of the holy hermit Antonius was built between 1458 and 1514 in the southwest of the now defunct Capuchin ring. It emerged from a St. Antonius chapel as a successor to the church of St. Maria zur Brücke (Sankt Maria ad pontem) located outside the city wall , whose remote location contributed to its loss of importance. The sacred building of St. Antonius is characterized by the late Gothic style of the construction period, but was later supplemented with elements of the Rococo . The rather simply designed interior consists of an asymmetrical two-aisle structure consisting of a low side aisle and the high main nave with rich network vaults and a spaciousness and abundance of light typical of Gothic churches. The rectangular end of the choir has a window that dominates the entire choir wall.

Alexander Linnemann from Frankfurt created two windows for the church before 1900, documents for this are in the Linnemann archive. During the Second World War these windows were destroyed and the church was badly damaged. The reconstruction according to plans by the Trier architect Heinrich Otto Vogel restored the old condition of the church, in particular the largely destroyed vault.

Interior

The rococo pulpit from 1762, possibly from the workshop of Ferdinand Tietz , came into the church in 1812 as part of the furnishings of the Trier Dominican monastery near the cathedral , which was demolished at the time . It is richly decorated with depictions of evangelists, church fathers and Dominicans.

In the side aisle there are two sandstone epitaphs from the workshop of Hans Rupprecht Hoffmann from 1607 and 1609, one for the mayor Cornelius Schott, the other for the alderman Leonhard Eisenkrämer. There is also a St. John's altar belonging to the Manternach family, created by Jacob Conchardt.

On the south wall of the main nave there is an Antonius grotto, donated by Mayor Gottbill in 1780.
