St. Bonifatius (Fulda-Horas)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fulda-Horas, St. Boniface

St. Bonifatius is a Roman Catholic parish church in Fulda - Horas , built in 1885 . The patron saint of the church is St. Boniface .

history

According to an entry in the oldest baptismal register, the first chapel in Horas burned down around 1250 . Architectural parts originate from it, which were initially walled up in the gable of the rebuilt Wendelinus Chapel and after its demolition were installed in the parish garden in Horas. Unfortunately, the years of construction, including the second Wendelinus Chapel, are not known. In 1632 it is documented in the Marburg State Archives that the heads and builders of the second chapel in Horas borrowed 40 guilders for the construction. In 1674 a visitation report by the Archdeaconate Fulda mentions a chapel with the title of St. Wendelinus in Horas and one such in honor of St. Ottilia in Niesig. Since 1594 Horas was a branch of the parish Frauenberg .

New building

When in 1877 the chapel was threatened to be closed due to dilapidation, the decision was made to build today's St. Boniface Church, which was consecrated in 1885 and made a parish in 1888.

Furnishing

The original church windows were made by the Cologne-Lindenthal glass painting company Schneider and Schmolz . Today the church is equipped with signed glass windows by Charles Crodel from 1958 and 1974. The posthumous execution of the windows in the side chapels was carried out by Carl Helmut Steckner .

organ

The organ was built in 2004 by the organ building company Karl Schuke (Berlin). The instrument, with its basic tones, has 31 registers (2358 pipes ) on two manuals and a pedal . The Spieltrakturen are mechanically, the Registertrakturen electrically. The instrument is equipped with a large setting system.

Bells

The Otto bell foundry from Hemelingen / Bremen, which cast a large number of bells for Fulda and the Fuldaer Umlang before and after the World War, supplied three generations of bronze bells for the St. Bonifatius Church in Fulda-Horas: four in 1892 Bells, two bells each in 1924 and 1928. Except for one bell, they were all melted down for war purposes. Shortly after the war, Otto cast three new bells in 1949 and delivered two more bells in 1961. The ringing today consists of five bells with the following disposition: d '- f sharp' - a '- h' - c sharp ''. Their diameters are: 1412 mm, 1074 mm, 904 mm, 805 mm and 748 mm.
