St. Boniface (Schapdetten)
St. Boniface is a Roman Catholic parish church in Schapdetten and one of the oldest Boniface - patrociniums in the Diocese of Münster . In the Münsterland only the former Freckenhorst women's monastery still carries this patronage .
history
According to tradition, the construction of a church in Schapdetten goes back to the Saxon nobleman and founder Everword (* approx. 810; † May 3, 863) and his wife Geva, which was secured by a Fulda spring . A separate church of the Fulda monastery was consecrated by Bishop Siegfried (1022-1032). A parish is only proven for the year 1313.
In Schapdetten there was a farm belonging to Everwords, which had fallen to the Fulda monastery . According to legend, St. Boniface is said to have baptized the great-grandparents of the founder on his missionary trip to Friesland in 753.
Building history
A previous wooden church fell victim to a fire in the 11th century and was replaced by a stone church in the Romanesque style in the 12th century , which was expanded twice to the east. The fortified west tower has been preserved, while the Romanesque hall church was converted into a late Gothic vaulted building after 1500 and a polygonal choir was added. A large extension to the north was consecrated in 1931.
architecture
The east-facing , unplastered church made of light-colored natural stone consists of several structures: west tower, nave, choir and northern extension.
The undivided west tower made of light stone masonry on a square floor plan dates from the 12th century. Below the eaves, sound holes with cloverleaf arches for the bells are set in on each side. The bell chamber houses a four-bell ring with bells from 1926, 1949 and 1976. Apart from two narrow slotted windows, the west side has no windows, the north and south sides have arched windows. The tower chapel on the ground floor is accessed in the south through a round arch portal. The vaults in the two basement floors were drawn in later. A round arch arcade opens the tower hall to the nave. Originally the second floor was also opened in this way. The stepped gables in the north and sides were made of red bricks during the Renaissance .
Parts of the north and south walls of the single-nave vaulted structure date back to the 12th century when the tower was built. The nave got its present shape in the 15th century through the Gothic style , when it was extended to the east by a five-eighth closure . Stepped buttresses support the vault inside and structure the nave and choir. The interior is illuminated through two-lane pointed arch windows with tracery . In the south, the transept facing the gable has a portal with a dull pointed arch. The extension in the north from 1930/1931 is designed as a two-aisled hall in the neo-Gothic style.
Furnishing
The tower chapel is furnished with a Maria with Child Jesus from the 1840s, which was made by Johann Bernhard Joseph Lohaus from Münster.
The altar area is three steps higher than the nave. The simple baptismal font comes from the Gothic period. The stone Easter candlestick is only preserved as a fragment. The ambo and folk altar are made of sandstone and have tracery with fish- bladder ornaments in front. The two-storey carved high altar in neo-Gothic style is in three parts in the top above the predella . Above the narrow middle section with the tabernacle, the tall burst is richly decorated with pinnacles . The altar is crowned outside by two angel figures above pillars.
The simple wooden church stalls leave a central aisle free. Remnants of the 16th century choir stalls have been preserved. The mostly baroque saints made of sand and wood include depictions of St. Liudger (early 16th century) and Anna Selbdritt (around 1680). A Pietà was created in the first quarter of the 18th century.
Bells
Four bronze bells hang in the tower.

As there is no longer any service in the church on Sunday, a villager initiated the ringing of the bells on Sunday. Every Sunday at 12:05 p.m., all bells ring for ten minutes after the noon toll.
organ
The organ was built by the organ builder Martin Vier (Friesenheim) for the Maria-Königin-Church (Dülmen). After the church was profaned in 2008, the organ was purchased by the parish of St. Boniface. The slider chests -instrument has a total of nine registers , seven of them speaking stops and two preliminary moves, on one manual and pedal . The playing and stop actions are mechanical.
