St. Apollinaris is a five-aisled Catholic hall church with an almost square floor plan in the Düsseldorf district of Oberbilk . The parish of the same name belongs to the pastoral care area of Unter- and Oberbilk, Friedrichstadt and Eller-West.
architecture
St. Apollinaris was designed by the architect Caspar Clemens Pickel . It is built with five naves, with the three middle naves corresponding to the concept of a hall church. This is followed by a significantly narrower aisle in both the north and south. The smaller southern choir has a side chapel, so that it corresponds to the sacristy rooms in the north. In the east the middle choir protrudes over the two side choirs.
The tower is in the west.
history
Due to the rapid growth of Düsseldorf in the course of industrialization, the parish of St. Martin in Bilk had to be divided before the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. The newly created parish of St. Josef had to look after more than 27,000 believers by 1900, making it the largest in the Archdiocese of Cologne . Another division was inevitable.
The church building association was founded as early as 1899. The property was donated by the Eykeler family. The groundbreaking ceremony took place on November 10, 1904. On May 26, 1907, the church was consecrated to St. Apollinaris , the city patron of Düsseldorf .
Finally, in 1923, St. Apollinaris became an independent parish.
organ
The organ was built between 1951 and 1962 by the organ building company Romanus Seifert & Sohn (Kevelaer). In 2015 the instrument was extensively overhauled by Orgelbau Friedrich Kampherm (Verl). The disposition could be adapted to today's requirements. Registers from the previous instrument (Klais 1927) in the organ were set in harmony with the neo-baroque sound material by Seifert and expanded in the direction of German Romanticism. Additions were made through the construction of two new registers, "trumpet" (Killinger), in German design with ship throats in the main section and "viol" in the swell section . From the existing willow pipe, a closer beating from c ° was moved and expanded with new expressions . A used Dulcian register from the (no longer existing) Krell organ of the former church of the Franciscan monastery could be acquired and was re-voiced to the "clarinet" . As a complete restoration, the organ building project received a new intonation, some register changes with additional wind supply. The Kegelladen instrument has 37 sounding stops, divided into three manuals and pedal . The game and stop actions are electronic. The console was technically and visually redesigned in 2015, equipped with new keyboards, a setting system (9,999 combinations) and register shackles.
