St. Barbara (Neudorf)
The Roman Catholic branch church of St. Barbara is located in the Neudorf district of the Upper Palatinate market Luhe-Wildenau (Neudorf 31). Today it belongs to the parish of St. Martin in Luhe.
history
In 1367 the Wildensteiners bought the Neudorf estate. In 1384 Ruprecht von Freudenberg sold the bailiwick of four farms in Schleißdorf (today part of Freudenberg ) to his sister Anna Wildensteinerin for the church she had built in Neudorf . Even then, the Church of St. Dedicated to Barbara . In 1503 a Hans Fischer is mentioned as beneficiary and early knife , in 1508 a Christian Leutersheimer is mentioned here as beneficiary . The Neudorf benefit lasted until 1529. At that time, the Landgraves of Leuchtenberg bought Neudorf, but Adam von Freudenberg bought the bailiwick back through the four farms. The Landgraves of Leuchtenberg are likely to have set up a Früßmessbenefician in the form of agricultural land. Usually a chaplain from Luhe read mass here. In 1538 a Melchior Schegner is named as early knife in Neudorf, in 1572 the Pfreimder city pastor received the Neudorf benefit as an allowance, in 1587 Johann Gröbl is the early knife . In 1590 an inventory of the parish of Luhe stated that two thirds of the tithe went to the landlord and one third to the pastor.
In 1591 the Landgraves of Leuchtenberg had a church tower built in Neudorf. In 1622, the income from the unoccupied benefice was allowed to be used for the ailing Franciscan monastery in Pfreimd , according to a resolution by the diocese of Regensburg . In 1656 the Pfreimder pastor received the benefit again. In 1693 Pastor Lederer applied for the benefit because he had to keep a cooperator . In contrast to the parish in Luhe, the Neudorf church foundation must have been very solvent, e.g. B. From 1735 to 1737 she took over a large part of the costs for the rebuilding of the rectory in Luhe.
Church building
Around 1770 a new church was built in Neudorf. The high and side altars were made by the master carpenter Peter Bacher and the sculptor Philipp Luz von Amberg . The altarpiece of St. Barbara was created by the Amberg painter Johann Michael Wild .
The church was badly damaged by fire on June 15, 1814. The reconstruction did not take place until 1819, as the residential and farm buildings had to be built first. It was built in 1819 as a hall church with a hipped roof and a retracted, five-sided closed choir , the choir was given a cross vault . The church building has three window axes and a barrel vault . The roof turret is equipped with a bell cover. A village cross belongs to the church; This is a crucifix with a figure of the Virgin Mary made of wood, it is painted in color and dates from around 1900.
In 1926 Neudorf received its own cemetery with a funeral building (until then, the deceased had to be buried in Luhe). In 1950, the people of Neudorf built a parsonage, largely on their own. The first priest to work here was the retired pastor Johann Baptist Wagner , followed by pastor Anton Schlosser . For a while the services were held by the Augustinians of Weiden, now the pastor of Luhe is responsible for them.
In 1953 the church received a sacristy . In 1959 and 1977, the outside of the church was renovated, the first interior renovation took place in 1961. In 1989 the tiled roof had to be renewed, from 1994 to 1996 the church underwent a thorough renovation under Pastor Josef Schön ; about a quarter of the costs could be raised through donations. On October 20, 1996, the completion of the work was celebrated with a thanksgiving service.
Interior
The baroque high altar with the image of St. Barbara dates from 1700. The tabernacle is a work of the Rococo , as are the two side altars (a Marien and a Wendelin altar ) and the pulpit .
