St. Bartholomäus and St. Georg (Volkach)
The Roman Catholic parish church of St. Bartholomäus and St. Georg is in the old town of Volkach in the Bavarian district of Kitzingen. It is one of the landmarks of the small town in Lower Franconia and can be seen from afar in the wine-growing region of the Mainschleife.
history
The history of the church is closely linked to that of the city of Volkach. It is the tallest building in the city. The Catholic community still shapes life in the small Franconian town today.
Establishment (-1544)
The area around the church is one of the city's settlement centers. There is evidence of a church that was dedicated to St. George as early as the 12th century . However, this chapel was not the parish church of the place. This was located on the nearby Kirchberg with the pilgrimage church Maria im Weingarten . In 1335 the early mass was donated for the first time in the town church. The 14th century brought the elevation to the parish church.
On February 22nd, 1413, the day of Peter's chair celebration , a long-planned new building began. This is evidenced by an inscription on the fourth choir buttress. In addition to George, the Apostle Bartholomew also received church patronage. The new building began with the choir , which was added to the existing nave until 1442 . Its rebuilding began in the west and led to the straightening of the main street and the enlargement of the church building.
In 1447 the Bartholomäus altar was moved from Kirchberg to the newly built choir of the parish church. Before that, on November 25, 1442, an altar of saints had already been set up in the church. In addition, a small chapel dedicated to the Archangel Michael was added to the nave in 1447 . In 1468 the church was given privileges by the Würzburg prince-bishop Rudolf von Scherenberg .
A few years later, in 1472, the renovation of the nave began. The Volkach councilors signed Friedrich Reuss, who planned the church as a three-aisled hall church , as the master builder . After the plan was changed, a hall church was built . The work on the nave dragged on until 1517/1518.
The Würzburg cathedral master builder Hans Bock was commissioned to renovate the tower in 1513. The church tower was planned at the highest point in the city so that it could also serve as a watchtower. After a construction interruption, it received its characteristic appearance in 1597 with the octagonal structure and a stair tower. In the meantime, the cemetery, originally laid out around the church, had been moved to the upper suburb in 1544.
Renovations (1544-today)
The external shape of the church did not change any more. In 1573, carpenter Merten installed a wooden gallery inside . The first renovation of the parish church took place in 1607. In 1646 the pilgrimage to Burgwindheim began , which was preceded by a plague pledge. The parish church largely spared the Thirty Years' War . Unlike in many other churches in Franconia , Protestant worship was never held there. Another restoration in 1688 was noted by the community leaders in a document in the tower button .
In 1727 the baroque redesign of the parish church of St. Bartholomew and St. George began. In 1738 the church tower was renovated and in 1753 a flat ceiling was added to the nave . A planned expansion of the church was rejected in 1843. In 1864 Pastor Georg Scheurich planned the neo-Gothic redesign of the baroque interior, but failed due to resistance from the community.
The church suffered minor damage in the last year of the Second World War , which was repaired in 1949. In 1951, the church building was extensively renovated. In 1972 the sanctuary had to be redesigned according to the specifications of the Second Vatican Council . For this purpose, Adelmar Dölger made a new ambo . The restoration in 1990 was followed by another in 2006–2008, in which Gothic wall paintings on the ceiling were exposed.
Today St. Bartholomäus and St. Georg is the parish church of the Catholic parish of Volkach. It was added to the Bavarian list of architectural monuments under the number D-6-75-174-74. The underground remains of the previous development are listed as a ground monument. The church is one of the focal points of the Volkach Old Town ensemble.
architecture
The hall church is east and has a polygonal choir. In the west, the Nikolauskapelle is directly adjacent to the building. Overall, the church is surrounded by houses on three sides and opens onto the main street in the east.
Choir and nave
On the choir side, the front side of the church, the rich structure catches the eye. The buttresses have brackets that are decorated with foliage . High canopies indicate originally planned figures that were never executed. On the fourth choir buttress is the inscription “ano dni mcccc • xiii inceptu e / hoc ops hus chori indie kathe / dra • s • petri himor • s • bartholo / mei apli et • s • Georg militis” (In the year of the Lord 1413 is this construction of this choir was started on the day of the Peter See in honor of the Holy Apostle Bartholomew and the Holy Knight George), which indicates the start of construction of the church.
Portals lead into the church on both sides of the nave. The beginnings of ribs above the southern porch indicate a planned chapel above the portal. The doors have fittings that date from the second half of the 15th century. The nave is divided by four window axes decorated with tracery. Inside there is a reticulated vault.
tower
The defining element of the church is the 45 m high tower with seven floors north of the choir. Its square substructure was built in the first construction phase up to 1517. An octagonal structure with four clocks was added to it until 1597 , to which a walkway leads over and which was used as a tower house. A round stair tower with a small dome is built on the east side . The highest point of the city was also used as a lookout tower for a long time and was thus indirectly part of the Volkach city fortifications .
A pressed dome with a lantern crowns the building. It is surmounted by a five meter high spike that connects the weather vane and the tower ball with a diameter of 40 cm. The weather vane consists of an approximately 90 cm large crescent and a seven-pointed star with a diameter of 1.15 m. The motifs probably go back to the coat of arms of the mayor Georg Wagner. The coat of arms of the Voit von Salzburg and next to it the year 1517 is placed on the first floor of the tower , on the second that of the Prince-Bishop Lorenz von Bibra . This may come from the workshop of Tilman Riemenschneider . The four windows on the top, square floor have rich tracery.
Furnishing
The furnishings of the church are mainly influenced by the baroque redesign in the 18th century. Several great Franconian baroque artists worked in the parish church. Some older components testify to the old age of the church building.
ceiling
Plans for a renewal of the ceiling in the parish church go back to 1746. On February 20, 1748, the city council commissioned Johann Michael Babeltisch from Aub to re- stucco the ceiling . After disputes over financing, work began in 1753. In the meantime, the contract had been awarded to Nikolaus Huber, who inserted a flat, stuccoed mirrored ceiling.
The picture medallions are framed by Rococo decor . The upper reveals of the windows and the caps of the fillets are also decorated. A cornice covered with stucco vases on the east side runs around the ceiling. Putti with hanging flowers are colored. A ruffled blue curtain on the stucco archway has a baroque crucifix in its crown .
The ceiling painting with the veneration of the altar sacrament was applied to the already stuccoed ceiling in 1753. The painter was Johann Michael Wolcker from Würzburg. This is evidenced by the inscription "JOANN MICHAEL WOLCKER PINXIT 1753" in the large ceiling painting. Allegories pay homage to the Trinity of God and the devil falls into hell in front of the holy of holies. The depictions of the Church, Empire and Duchy of Franconia (in the form of the Prince-Bishop's flag) are also included. Picture medallions with Old Testament representations surround the painting. They represent the victims of Melchizedek , the manna rain of the Israelites, the Ark and the table of shewbread is.
High altar
After the approval of the prince-bishop's ordinariate in 1723, the planning of a large high altar in the choir took shape. First of all, Waldemar Becker from Haßfurt was commissioned with the execution. However, this did not meet the requirements of the council. Finally, on February 20, 1732, an agreement was reached with the Wiesentheider court carpenter Johann Georg Neßfell , who would take over the altar.
The draftsman of the altar sheet was Georg Sebastian Urlaub from Thüngersheim , who created the picture in 1733, as can be seen from the inscription "Georg Sebastian Vrlaub pinxit 1733". The altar could be consecrated in 1739. The four large figures of saints by the sculptor Reutel from Kitzingen followed in 1771. In 1772 Johann Peter Wagner added a tabernacle to the altar , which he redesigned in 1791
The altar fills the east wall of the choir and measures 14 × 7.3 meters. It has six pillars , the bases of which are decorated with mirrors. The capitals, decorated with rich foliage ornamentation, lead to a high cornice . Retracted stucco curtains on the outermost pillars give the appearance of a theater stage. At the height of the columns there are four larger-than-life figures of saints. They show (from left to right) St. Bartholomew, St. Kilian , St. Aquiline and St. George.
The altarpiece in the center of the work shows the Assumption of Mary into heaven . The extract presents the Most Holy Trinity . Jesus is sitting on the left with the cross, next to God the Father. A dove as a symbol of the Holy Spirit flies over the halo of clouds. Two worshiping angels frame the scene, and small putti hover overhead. Two stucco vases limit the extension.
The tabernacle in front of the altar is white and gold with the holy of holies in the center. Above is the Eye of Providence and a Lamb of God . Two praying putti flank the center. There are other angels at the very edge of the tabernacle.
Side altars
The four side altars were created during the extensive redesign of the nave. They all go back to the Kitzingen sculptor Reiner Wierl , who already worked as an expert on the redesign of the ceiling. The altars have a similar structure with curved volute pilasters . Kneeling angels frame the central altar panel. Above it rises the excerpt, which is framed by two putti.
The rosary altar on the north side of the nave was built in 1755 and goes back to the Volkach Rosary Brotherhood . It was founded in 1642 and later moved its church service from Kirchberg to the city. The altar sheet, which is wrongly attributed to Georg Anton Urlaub, shows Mary the Rosary Queen . The excerpt is crowned by St. Anne teaching her daughter Maria.
The left side altar, also known as the cross altar, is located next to the choir arch. The original image was removed in 1853. The Volkach painter Peter Geist added a new altar sheet with the size 150 × 250 centimeters and the image Christ takes his suffering upon himself . Angels carry instruments of suffering , with St. John Nepomuk standing above them . An eye of providence crowns the altar.
The side altar to the right of the choir arch is dedicated to St. Sebastian and is therefore also called the Sebastian Altar. The original altarpiece by Georg Sebastian Urlaub was also removed in 1853. Peter Geist created the picture Adoration of the Magi . Above is a figure of St. Sebastian . The angels on the sides carry scepter and crown.
The Cäcilien altar on the south wall of the nave goes back to the Cäcilienbruderschaft, which was founded in 1625 in Volkach. The altarpiece, painted in 1755 by Georg Anton Urlaub with the signature "GAUrlaub pinxit 1755", shows Saint Cecilia . The picture is borrowed from the work of the same name by Peter Paul Rubens . The flanking angels carry musical instruments, and St. Wendelin can be seen in the altar extract.
pulpit
The pulpit was the last part of the church to be baroque. In 1791, Johann Peter Wagner, who had already renewed the tabernacle, received the order. A year later he began to work on the pulpit, for which he received 205 Reichstaler from the Volkach pastor on January 17, 1792 .
Initially the pulpit was attached to the left side of the choir arch and is currently attached to the south wall of the nave. The body is decorated with three putti, which are equipped with a cross, a chalice and an anchor . They symbolize the divine virtues of faith, hope and love. A relief on the front shows the Adoration of the Shepherds . A bust of the youthful evangelist Johannes is embedded in the wall on the right.
Another relief on the back wall shows the handover of the keys to Peter . There are two putti on the front bulges of the sound cover , the rear ones are covered by vases. A large figure of Moses with the tablets of the law crowns the pulpit.
Bells
On the top rectangular floor of the tower is the bell room with sound panels on all four sides. Today five bells from the years 1519, 1840 and 1953 hang in the tower.
The so-called storm bell or wine bell, which signaled the end of work in the vineyards with its bells, was melted down during World War II . The oldest bell dates from 1313 and is today in front of the cross altar on the left choir arch. It still comes from the old church and is therefore the oldest piece of equipment in the parish church. Three of the five bells came into the house of God after the Second World War, in the 1950s, made by the Otto bell foundry in Bremen. The Ave Marien bell dates from the early 16th century, while the Marien bell was cast in 1840.
| Surname | Keynote | Casting year | Diameter in centimeters | Weight in kilograms | inscription |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Trinity Bell | c | 1953 | 154 | 2290 | “My bells honor and praise the Father, the Son and St. Ghost" |
| George and warrior memorial bell | it | 1953 | 130 | 1325 | "That the dragon would strangle us, pray God for us Saint Jürgen" |
| Ave Marien bell | H | 1519 | 115 | 850 | "Ave maria gracia plena dominvs tecvm et benedicta anno domini 1519" |
| Marienbell | as | 1840 | 100 | 525 | "CAST BY FRIEDRICH KLAUS AT MARKT NORDHEIM IN THE YEAR 18" 40 |
| Bell in honor of St. family | b | 1953 | 86 | 380 | "My poor soul, I recommend you Jesus, Mary, Joseph" |
Organ and gallery
The organ was built in 1726 in a baroque case. The summerach sculptor Matthias Sporer made the prospectus . Before that, in 1625, the parish church had received an organ from Neumünster in Würzburg. In 1948 the organ was renewed by the Johannes Klais Orgelbau company from Bonn. Today the organ has two manuals and 25 stops.
In 1573, the installation of a small gallery began , as evidenced by some inscriptions in the column bases. Around 1716, today's galleries with their baluster railings were built . In 1823 they were supported by two more pillars. Today's gallery with the organ in the west of the nave is three-storey in Baroque style.
Further equipment
Choir
The choir stalls to the left and right of the high altar date from 1771 and, like the saints on the altar, were created by the sculptor Reutel from Kitzingen. The Holy of Holies was kept in a Gothic sacrament niche before the tabernacle was built. Above that, a bronze epitaph for Johann Christoph Hausher is set into the wall. A head of Christ from the 15th century above the sacristy door probably originally served as the keystone of an arched portal.
Two oil paintings from the pilgrimage church Maria im Weingarten in the choir are by Oswald Onghers and depict the decapitation of John the Baptist and Saint Anthony of Padua . On the right is an epitaph for Pastor Georg Philipp Vogel, who died in Volkach in 1710. The celebration altar and the priestly seat of Brother Adelmar Dölger from 1972 were added to the choir after the Second Vatican Council. The ambo has been in the church since 2008.
Longhouse
The baptismal font from 1559 has the coat of arms of Prince-Bishop Friedrich von Wirsberg , the town of Volkach and the church caretaker Johann Schwan and Cunz Rücker in the base. Several reliefs show the baptism of Christ , his mother Mary , the risen Savior and the Twelve Apostles . A group of figures made of wood represents the baptism of Christ . It was probably created around 1750 for the baroque renovation of the church.
The Way of the Cross with 14 stations is a work of art from the 18th century, only stations 12 and 14 were added later. Different initials on the individual station pictures refer to the respective donors. Two figures of Mary , also from the 18th century, were initially house figures. Two confessionals , one of them in the Nikolauskapelle, were made by Rainer Wierl in 1754. The figure on the confessional to the right of the north portal represents the apostle Judas Thaddäus .
A late Gothic Vespers picture is kept in the small side chapel in the south of the church . The Volkach work is attributed to the so-called soft style and dates from the middle of the 15th century. Like most works of this style, it was probably created in Lower Bavaria . The church windows were installed in 1922 and the church stalls are from 1729.
Outside
On the north wall of the choir there is a plastic mount of olives scene from 1581. A baroque crucifix stands on the east side of the church. A badly weathered wayside shrine with the crucifixion motif stands on the south wall of the nave.
Nikolauskapelle
The two-story chapel attached to the west of the nave of the church was first mentioned in 1447. It was then to the Archangel Michael and was later consecrated to Saint Nicholas . Originally it probably served as an ossuary . It can be reached through an entrance under the gallery of the parish church. The crypt was re-consecrated as a church space in 1972. Inside, a beamed ceiling and crosses of the Apostles from the 15th century were exposed. A copy of the picture Maria Hilf from Lucas Cranach's workshop and an icon of St. Nicholas are part of the interior of the church. The former Latin school adjoins the chapel.
Pastor (selection)
The clergy who worked in the Volkach parish church have been passed down almost completely since the beginning of the 14th century. The list is based on the standard work on the Volkach parish history, the historical news by Eugen Schön. Until well into the 17th century, pastors' terms of office are only mentioned in part. In the early days, clergymen from the collegiate monasteries in Würzburg and Bamberg could be engaged.
