Sankt Augustinus is the Roman Catholic parish church in Menden , a district of Sankt Augustin ( Rhein-Sieg-Kreis ) in North Rhine-Westphalia . It belongs to the Catholic pastoral care area Sankt Augustin in the Rhein-Sieg district dean of the Archdiocese of Cologne .

history

The parish church of St. Augustine replaces the old church of Menden. Its foundation walls can be found north of the new church. The new building was necessary because of the strong population growth in the place. The foundation stone for the new St. Augustine building from the steeple of the old church was laid on August 31, 1890. The representative neo-Romanesque three-aisled basilica on a cross-shaped floor plan was inaugurated on October 6, 1892. The new building does not follow the traditional easting, but the choir of the church faces south. The old church was finally closed in 1896.

organ

In St. Augustinus there is an organ made by Orgelbau Klais from Bonn. It was built in 1939 as Opus 926 and was last restored in 2002. The organ has two manuals, a pedal and 22 sounding registers . The former Rückpositiv was integrated as the third manual (playable on the 2nd manual) . The former prospectus was placed on the right-hand side of the tower entrance as an ornament, but the work above the new organ.

Bells

From the tower of the Autustinus church the motif "O Savior, tear open the heavens" can be heard. The three big bells were cast in Unterseptrippe in 1924 by the Bochum association for cast steel production. The little bell dates back to 1853 and was cast by Christian Claren from Sieglar .
