Parish and parish
history
The parish is one of the oldest in the area. Vogt Hugo von Hunolstein bequeathed the tithe and the patronage of Schwarzenholz to the Fraulautern monastery in 1235 .
The most important feudal sovereignty, besides the Fraulautern Abbey, was the Counts of Saarbrücken. In 1664, Count Gustav Adolf von Nassau-Saarbrücken gave his shares in Schwarzenholz to the Abbey of Fraulautern. However, only in a settlement on May 9, 1765, the women's monastery was able to achieve complete sovereignty over the area of the direct imperial rule of Schwarzenholz. The church in Schwarzenholz was not always cared for by a pastor. In 1590 a new church was built.
The parish church consecrated to St. Willibrord was destroyed in the Thirty Years War and was not rebuilt afterwards. The place and parish needed many decades to recover from the aftermath of the war. The Katharinenkapelle , restored and elevated to parish church in 1712, was used for over a century.
In 1821 the local pastor Bartholomäus Blaß enabled the building of a larger church on the site of his parents' house through a foundation. She wore the first, the patron saint of the Holy Apostle Bartholomew .
Todays situation
A pastoral care unit has existed with the neighboring parish of St. Marien (Saarwellingen-Reisbach) since 1994 . The pastor's office is in Saarwellingen-Schwarzenholz. A subsidiar and a retirement chaplain live in Saarwellingen-Reisbach. There is also a position for a community officer .
As part of the restructuring measures of the Diocese of Trier, the parishes of St. Bartholomäus and St. Marien have been cooperating with the parish of St. Blasius and Martinus since September 1st, 2011 as part of a parish community .
The parish of St. Bartholomew has around 3,000 Catholics, including the Catholic residents of the neighboring Obersalbach district of Kurhof .
Parish church
Since the old St. Bartholomew's Church from 1821 had become too small for the community due to the population growth in the course of industrialization , the construction of a new church was necessary at the beginning of the 20th century . On June 14, 1914, the parish with its pastor and dean Jakob Hilger laid the foundation stone of today's parish church, a three-aisled hall church with a suggested transept in neo-Gothic style . The tower was added to the side. The architects Ludwig Becker and Anton Falkowski ( Mainz ) drew up the plans for the church building . The church was the former church cartridges on June 16, 1916 Bartholomew and Catherine of Alexandria ordained .
Since the church was misused by the Wehrmacht as an arsenal and radio station in the last months of the Second World War , it came under attack by the Allies , which severely damaged it. Only the church tower, high altar and old baptismal font survived the attacks unscathed. In the post-war period, the church was rebuilt from the parish's own resources. The plans for this came from the architect Toni Laub (Saarwellingen). At that time, the congregation celebrated their services at the nearby convent of Dominican nuns .
During the last major renovation in the 1980s, the interior was redesigned according to the specifications of the Second Vatican Council . The altar found its place in the crossing of the church.
organ
The organ of the church, which is set up on a gallery , was built in 1959 as Opus 75 by the Sebald company ( Trier ). In the 1960s, the original Rückpositiv (III) was moved from the gallery parapet between the two main organ parts, below the gallery window. The Kegelladen instrument has 33 stops , divided into three manuals and pedal . The game and stop action is electro-pneumatic. The disposition is as follows:

Bells
In 1923 the Otto bell foundry from Hemelingen / Bremen cast three bronze bells (e '- fis' - gis') for Saarwellingen / Schwarzenholz. All three bells were melted down during World War II. In 1953, the Saarlouiser bell foundry in Saarlouis-Fraulautern, which was founded by Karl (III) Otto from the Otto bell foundry in Bremen-Hemelingen and Alois Riewer from Saarland in 1953, cast four bronze bells for the Bartholomäus Church. Since July 1953, they have replaced the earlier bells that the church had been robbed of during the world wars. Accordingly, the inscription on the largest bell reads: "I leave you peace, I give you my peace". The bell is consecrated to the heart of Jesus.
