The Catholic parish church of St. Barbara in Ramersbach , a district of Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler in Rhineland-Palatinate , was built in 1907/08 and is located at Mayener Straße 2.

history

Ramersbach already owned a small chapel in the 14th century , which was dedicated to St. Barbara .

When the church built in 1738 became dilapidated , the parish decided to build a new building. The building of the hall from local quarry stone was difficult to finance for the community.

Capital with the representation of St. Jerome

Today's church building, built in 1907/08 according to the designs of the Trier architect Peter Marx , is the only church in the Trier diocese that incorporates elements of Art Nouveau style in its furnishings . The artistic window glazing from the company Binsfeld, workshops for glass design in Trier, based on the designs by Josef Dornoff (1874–1944), stands out to a particular degree. The altar is divided into three parts - both vertically and horizontally in the top, the left picture shows Abraham and Isaac , the right Melchizedech .

The organ , inaugurated in 2005, has one manual and eight stops . It comes from the organ building company Fischer & Krämer.
