St. Bartholomäus was a church in Anhausen , a district of the Sulzdorf district of the city of Schwäbisch Hall in Baden-Württemberg.

history

The church was first mentioned in a document in 976 and formed the ecclesiastical center of twelve places on the right and left of the Bühler . It served as a branch church of the Stöckenburg until the Reformation , since May 6, 1545 it was the church of the "Bühler Parish" with its seat in Vellberg . In 1613 and 1782 it was expanded to 500 seats. After the parish was moved to Sulzdorf in 1837, the building was abandoned, auctioned and demolished in 1863.

For the 1000th anniversary, the Evangelical Parish of Sulzdorf bought the old church site and had an open-air church square with low walls built here. This indicates the old room layout and is adorned with a stone pulpit. Underneath there are grottoes washed out by the water. The first prayer service took place at the memorial on August 24, 1975.

Architecture and equipment

The church was a single-nave structure with windows in Gothic shapes. The choir tower above the choir was of compact proportions and was closed off by a paneled bell room with a pyramid roof. The inscriptions “1464” and “1613” were placed above the doors. The late Gothic altar shrine from 1506 is now owned by the Stuttgart State Collections .

reception

"A delicious idyll has been destroyed", commented Eugen Gradmann in 1907 on the demolition of the church over 40 years earlier. Johann Friedrich Reik (1836–1904) made a watercolor of the church.
