The Church of St. Bonifatius is a Catholic parish church in Ritterstraße, a district of the Saarland city ​​of Püttlingen , Saarbrücken regional association . It bears the patronage of St. Boniface , the "Apostle of the Germans". In the list of monuments of the Saarland, the church is a single monument listed.

history

Until 1947, today's parish of St. Bonifatius was a branch of the parish of Liebfrauen in Püttlingen and was subordinate to it as a vicarie . In 1938 the first parish vicar began his service in St. Boniface.

The Bonifatiuskirche was built between 1929 and 1930 according to plans by the architects Ludwig Becker and Anton Falkowski ( Mainz ) and consecrated on November 9, 1930 by Dechant Josef Lieblang, who had been pastor in St. Eligius in Völklingen since 1929 .

In 1992 the church underwent extensive restoration and renovation work on the masonry and the floor inside the church. In addition, renovation work was carried out in the sanctuary in accordance with the Second Vatican Council . Furthermore, a separate baptismal area was created by moving the baptismal font .

Architecture and equipment

In contrast to the other Catholic church buildings that have been built in the area of ​​today's town of Püttlingen since the late 19th century ( St. Sebastianskirche , Liebfrauenkirche, Herz-Jesu-Kirche ), the Bonifatiuskirche was not built in the style of historicism . Rather, the style elements of Expressionism were used here. Unlike the other church buildings mentioned, red sandstone was not used as a building material, but artificial stone was used, which was then plastered .

The church building is a single-nave hall church , which is divided into a nave and a choir . The interior of the nave has no further subdivision by retaining walls or columns . Only two narrow aisles, which are added to the side walls of the nave and separated from the nave by pillars , indicate aisles . The additions to the south facade of the nave also create a certain structure on the exterior. The nave has a barrel-like vault in the middle , which merges into a flat ceiling part, which merges into the side walls via further steps and a sloping ceiling part. Stained glass windows divide the upper area of ​​the side walls of the nave. In the area of ​​the main portal , a gallery takes up the entire width of the nave. The choir is vaulted by a barrel ceiling similar to that in the nave, but which here merges directly into the side walls. The choir is completed by an apse . The church tower with its pyramid-shaped helmet is placed near the north-eastern corner of the building on the side.

The church's furnishings include the altar table with a cross , which comes from a gothic cross altar from the church of St. Michael, the predecessor of today's church of St. Sebastian, created in 1872 by the sculptor Ernst ( Koblenz ) . In the Sebastianskirche it served as a side altar before it was used as the main altar in the Bonifatiuskirche. Here it was redesigned several times until it got its current appearance.
