St. Antonius (Wollmanders)
.jpg)
The Catholic Church of St. Antonius is a listed church building in Wollmigart , a district of the city of Lorch (Rheingau) . It is a branch church of the parish Heilig Kreuz Rheingau, a new type of parish . Since 2015 the so-called Rheingau Cathedral in Geisenheim has also been the parish church of Wollmanders.
history
The district of the Wollmölker settlement was divorced from Ransel in 1695 . Ecclesiastically, the village remained a branch of the parish of St. Katharina (Ransel) founded in 1654 . On September 3, 1713, a chapel was inaugurated by the dean Elias Reinhardt Gros from Eltville . The village had to bear the building load and maintenance.
This chapel was demolished at the end of the 19th century and replaced in 1894 by the new church building. It was consecrated to Saint Anthony of Padua . In 1960 the church was fundamentally renovated under the then Ransel pastor Clemens Rohbeck. In 1976 a three-part bell was purchased. Until 1980 the responsible parish in Ransel had its own pastor, after which the one from Lorch took over his duties. In 1997, ailing parts of the church tower had to be replaced, and the exterior painting was also renewed. On January 1, 2010, the parishes of St. Martin (Lorch) , St. Bonifatius (Lorchhausen) and St. Katharina (Ransel) with their two branches St. Anna (Sauerthal) and St. Antonius (Wollmanders) merged to form the expanded parish of St. Martin (Lorch) together. In 2015 the parish Heilig Kreuz Rheingau was founded, to whose 13 church locations the Wollmigart branch belongs.
architecture
The St. Antonius Church is a small, simple hall building . The slate- covered hip roof is crowned by a pointed roof turret with a square base. The outer walls of the building, which was built with broken slate stones, were designed as exposed masonry and were not plastered until 1960. The entrance portal is on the gable side decorated with a stepped arched frieze. The former central staircase flanked by two trees had to give way to today's shortened form in the course of widening the street. The gable roof of the small entrance hall was replaced by an unsuitable flat roof.
Simple round-arched, light-glass windows with modern, Christian symbols (mid-20th century) arranged in the middle illuminate the interior. The previously kinked wooden ceiling with its visible supporting structure on consoles is now hidden under a barrel-shaped wooden ceiling. The old balustrade of the organ gallery above the entrance has also been replaced and clad in a modern way. The vaulting of the semicircular choir apse was recently designed as a blue sky. In the center is shown the God-Father giving blessings with the commandments , accompanied by two angels in front of a three-part circle, which symbolizes the Trinity .
Furnishing
- Incompletely preserved, baroque high altar from the previous chapel. The cafeteria with candlestick bench and the rotating tabernacle have been preserved
- Immaculata from 1750
- Two female figures of saints around 1750. The attributes date from more recent times, which is why the figures are now referred to as St. Barbara and St. Catherine .
- St. Anthony at the end of the 18th century
Bells
The ringing consists of three bronze bells, which were cast in 1976 by the Rincker company . The former bell from 1890, cast by the company JG Pfeifer from Kaiserslautern, was traded in at the metal price.
The bell expert Hubert Foersch comments on the Wollmerschieder chimes in the Limburg bell book he wrote : “The chime forms the motif of a major triad in an extremely high register, which is rarely heard in the Rheingau. The bells are of impressive freshness and luminosity. They represent an interesting enrichment of the Rheingau bell landscape. "
