history

prehistory

A parish in Hanoschebrunen (Hasborn) was first mentioned in the 10th century . A document between 972 and 981 reports that the churches Hasborn , Neunkirchen , Lockweiler and Bosen were donated to the St. Paul Verdun Monastery by the then Bishop Wigfried von Verdun . From this time it is proven that Hasborn owned a church.

Four further documents from the 13th century document the donation of the patronage rights of the Church of Hasborn by the Lords of Schwarzenberg to the Augustinian monastery Fraulautern . This church probably stood where the “old town hall” of Hasborn-Dautweiler stands today.

The Old Church (1771–1904)

On November 15, 1771, the previous building of today's parish church was inaugurated as a simple baroque hall church, as it was typical in many places in this region, by Pastor Joann Augustin Lauxem from Theley . Joseph Thomann, who came from Hottingen in the Black Forest, was the builder of the church. The building was 26 m long and 11 m wide. The simple church tower with onion dome was only completed a few years later in 1784 on the initiative of the community and equipped with a 56 pound bell made by the bell founder Christian Schmidt from Trier. The front third of the single nave tapered to a simple choir, which was separated by a choir screen. At the end of the choir there was a baroque high altar, which was purchased in 1804. There was a small, simple wooden gallery above the entrance portal. An organ could not be found. It can therefore be assumed that the musical accompaniment of the services was later provided by a harmonium .

A few years after the construction of the new parish church, the old parish church was demolished in 1909 and a school building was built in its place. The school building (and later town hall) was completed with a tower that was faithfully reproduced from the old church in order to commemorate this previous building in the same place. In addition, the unglazed lead skeleton of the old rose window, which was located in the center above the entrance portal and had a diameter of about 1.35 m, has been preserved.

The current church was built on Bartholomew's Day (August 24th) 1902 in the neo-Gothic style, as the late baroque predecessor church was too small for the growing community. This was later converted into a school and then into the “Old Town Hall”. St. Bartholomew was consecrated on October 24, 1904. Originally the church tower had four corner turrets and a walkway at the foot of the spire. However, this was already removed in the 1930s, as were the corner turrets. Inside the church was richly painted. This interior painting was simplified for the first time during the interior renovation in 1955 by painting over the ornaments between the cross ribs in white. The cross ribs themselves, as well as the pillars initially retained their red color. Also in 1955, the organ loft was considerably enlarged due to the greatly increased church choir. The new pillarless gallery from 1955 had a widely cantilevered U-shape that reached up to the first aisle yoke. The columns of the first organ gallery are still in individual parts on the adjacent meadow and next to the church.

In the 1960s there were up to 1,400 people attending mass services, of which there were two every Sunday at that time. In 1969, the enlargement of the church began. The old apse was demolished and a wide and high modern transept was built in its place . The extension was inaugurated in 1971. In the spring of 1972, the old part was renovated and redesigned, meanwhile the services took place in the extension that had already been opened. The entire interior of the old part was painted gray and the new pews had the width of the main nave, so that there was no longer a central aisle. In addition, the organ gallery, which was only built in 1955, was removed and replaced by a much smaller model on which the high altar was located. At the end of 1972, the parish church of St. Bartholomew was completed in its current structural form.

The ocher-colored exterior of the old part of the church was applied in 2004. An extensive interior renovation of the church took place in 2018/2019, in which the old part of the church was given a new color inside. In addition, a new stone altar island, including a stone folk altar, was built to replace the permanent temporary structure that existed from 1971 to 2018. Furthermore, the benches in the nave were divided again and the central aisle, which was closed in 1971, was restored, thereby reducing the number of seats and equipping the benches with new cushions. The stained glass windows of the old part of the church have also been painstakingly restored. The solemn rededication of the Church of St. Bartholomew took place on the 3rd Sunday of Advent (December 15, 2019).

construction

The Church of St. Bartholomew faces south. The main portal and the tower are therefore in the north. The old part of the church forms the nave , the new the transept . The longship has five yokes . From the second on, there is a side aisle on the left and right, which is initially, as usual, half the height of the nave. From the halfway point of the nave, two aisle bays rise, like in a hall church .

The church has two galleries . The first, in the nave, is only used as an installation site for the high altar and can be reached via the tower staircase. It is the successor to the old organ gallery and is only a little more than a meter wide. The second gallery is located directly above the sacristy . This is where the organ stands and there are many more seats that are occupied by a choir on festive days.

The altar is located in the modern part of the church on an altar island and can be viewed from three sides.

Furnishing

Way of the Cross

The images of the Way of the Cross are distributed from below the organ gallery in the eastern arm of the transept through the whole church to the wall opposite the organ gallery in the western arm of the transept. They are a copy of the fourteen paintings in Antwerp Cathedral .

High altar

The high altar of the church used to be in the front of the apse. In 1958 the original wood carving was renovated and gilded. After the renovation in the 1960s, it was lifted in individual parts onto the now greatly reduced old gallery and placed where the Hock organ had previously stood. It can still be admired in this place today. The left wing of the high altar shows the nativity scene, while the right wing shows the Last Supper . The altar thus graphically sums up the two most important Christian solemn festivals, Christmas and Easter .

Baptismal font

The baptismal font of the parish church comes from the old baroque church from 1771 and is now located near the main portal. Today it is no longer used in its original function, but as a holy water font at the church entrance.

Mary Altar

The Marien Altar is in the western aisle. It is decorated with an antependium, which also comes from the old parish church from 1771.

Organs

Former Hock organ (1908–1971)

Former Hock organ (1908–1969)

The church of St. Bartholomew already had an organ before the renovation . The romantic instrument was built in 1908 by the company Mamert Hock / Saarlouis and had 13 registers , distributed over two manuals and a pedal . After the old part of the church was closed, in which services were still held until the extension was completed in 1971, the instrument was sold and replaced by an electronic Dereux organ.

Mühleisen organ (since 1991)

Mühleisen organ (since 1991)

Console (with new keyboards since 2020)

In 1991 the Mühleisen company ( Leonberg ) built a new organ on the gallery above the sacristy in the eastern arm of the transept . Originally 26 registers were planned. Three more registers were commissioned prior to completion. In the main work the Gamba 8 'and the Cornet 8' were added, as well as the Clairon 4 'in the pedal, so that the instrument today has 29 registers on two manuals and pedal. In contrast to its predecessor, the new organ is based on the Baroque. The game action is mechanical. A double action is available for register control. On the one hand a mechanical one for registering, on the other hand an electrical one for the typesetter. In 2020, the Mühleisen company carried out a comprehensive general overhaul and cleaning of the organ. All registers were re-voiced and the keyboards were changed. In addition, the fillings on the Rückpositiv and Hauptwerk cases have been revised in order to considerably improve the accessibility of the pipework for maintenance and tuning. The disposition has not been changed and is as follows:

The services after the first nave yoke show two pictorial representations as a relief at their foot. On the west side, the previous building from 1770 is shown, which was demolished a few years after the consecration of today's church in 1909. On the east side, Saint Wendalinus , a regional saint, can be seen as a shepherd. Both representations were colored in the course of the interior renovation in 2018/19.

In addition, the original painting of the church was indicated in a high aisle bay.

window

The windows in the old, neo-Gothic part of the church, except for those of the old transept, are kept simple and show green ornamentation. The windows of the new part and the window above the main portal, on the other hand, each represent a (Bible) story in itself. They were created in the years 1972-75 by Robert Köck ( Mainz ).

Creation Window

The window of creation is in the tympanum above the main portal. It shows the earth as a sphere on a gray background with red light, and a hand. It is the hand of God whose presence is emphasized by the red light. He creates the earth from nothing (the gray background).

Altar window

The large window behind the altar extends from floor to ceiling. Above it shows the houses of Jerusalem , underneath alternating white and purple layers that get darker and darker downwards. In the lower area you can see a green ball, it is the earth. On this earth there is water as a sign of baptism , ears and grapes, as a sign of the Eucharist . The fire represents the Holy Spirit

"Expectation of the Second Coming"

This window stands diagonally across from the altar window, on the north wall of the western arm of the transept, and consists of matt white to bluish glass. Like the altar window, it extends from the floor to the ceiling and shows banks of clouds at the top. They show the second coming of the Lord. "HE will come again on the clouds of heaven". At the bottom of the picture are the signs of the Eucharist: a chalice and a host. "As often as you eat of this bread and drink from this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until He comes again"

"Streams of the Spirit"

This window is the counterpart of the "Expectation of the Second Coming" window in the eastern arm of the transept . It consists of the same colors and is criss-crossed with many ribbons from left to right. It is the rivers of water from an invisible and inexhaustible source in which the Holy Spirit is contained.

Emmaus window

This small window is to the right of the altar window; it shows a piece of bread divided into four on a dark red background. The broken bread is reminiscent of the Emmaus story, in which the two hikers only recognized Jesus after he had shared the bread.

Easter window

This window shines in the bright yellow of the rising sun. A ray rises from a linen cloth towards the sky. It is the linen cloth from which Jesus, according to the Easter story, rose with the sunrise.

Ascension of Christ

A mountain can be seen on this window. A white cloud hovers over the mountain . Jesus is said to have ascended into a cloud from a mountain closer to heaven than the valley.

Pearl window

This window picture shows several small pearls clustered around a large one. They are in the sea. This picture comes from a parable that Jesus is said to have told.

Window of the five wise virgins

On the window you can see five oil lamps on a very dark background. They represent the five wise virgins in a parable who thought of the oil for the lamps, the five foolish ones did not.

Mustard seed window

This window is also based on a parable . A huge bush rises from a tiny grain in the ground, in which seven white pigeons have found a home.

"The treasure in the field"

This window shows a gold nugget in the earth. It also belongs to a parable that Jesus is said to have told.

"The harvest"

This window shows a field in which grain is harvested with a sickle; it comes from the kingdom of God shown in purple. This picture also comes from a parable.

Kana window

This window is to the left of the altar window. It shows five blue jugs at the bottom and five red ones at the top. According to one story, Jesus is said to have turned water into wine at a wedding where there was no more wine. The fact that the wine is on the window above demonstrates the importance of this drink for the Eucharist.

Epiphany window

The gifts of the three holy kings, gold, frankincense and myrrh, are shown on a dark red background. They are reminiscent of the Christmas story and the Three Kings .

Christmas window

As a counterpart to the Easter window, a ray from heaven hits the manger, i.e. from top to bottom. The Christmas story tells that Jesus Christ was born the Son of God, of the Virgin Mary, in Bethlehem.

Ladder to heaven

At the entrance to the gallery we see a blue window with a ladder that enters the picture from the side and leads from the ground to the sky. It is reminiscent of the image of the Patriarch Jacob, who sees the angels ascending and descending to heaven.

Stairway to heaven

Right next to it is a similar window. Here a staircase can be seen leading into a golden gate belonging to the city of God, which is the destination of earthly pilgrims.

God's worship window

The three windows behind the gallery stand for prayer and praise to God in the morning (left), at noon (middle) and in the evening (right).
