St. Bruno (Dusseldorf)
The Roman Catholic Church of St. Bruno is located at Kalkumer Straße 58 in the west of the Unterrath district of Düsseldorf . Its namesake is the Cologne-born Saint Bruno, the founder of the Carthusian Order , who maintained a monastery in nearby Lichtenbroich until 1964 . Until 1998 the church was the center of the Roman Catholic parish of St. Bruno.
history
The church was built in 1927–1928 based on a design by the Düsseldorf architects Hans Tietmann and Karl Haake . The reconstruction after war-related destruction took place in the years 1949 to 1955 by the architect Heinz Thoma . An extensive renovation took place from 1999 to 2000.
The Roman Catholic parish of St. Bruno emerged from the parish of St. Maria under the cross in the east of Düsseldorf-Unterrath. Due to the increasing development and population increase, the emergency church St. Antonius was built in 1903, after the establishment of the independent parish in 1919, the current church building followed in 1928. From 1930 to 1951 the former community of the Holy Family grew out of the community. In 1998 it was incorporated into the parish association Unterrath / Lichtenbroich, in accordance with the pastoral reform directive of the Archdiocese of Cologne, the last time it was merged in 2011 into the large parish of the Holy Family .
description
The church is a mix of New Objectivity and Expressionism - it "was their objective forms and expressionist brick ornaments as the first modern religious building in Düsseldorf." In the window frames there are "beginnings of expressionist brick ornaments".
The tower of St. Bruno is positioned to the side of the nave. He is slim and tall. The two sound openings are arranged asymmetrically on one side of each tower side and extended downwards.
The entire church is made of red brick with the exception of the borders of the portal, gable and edges and the round window as a successor to a pointed arch window, which are made of gray stone.
St. Bruno has a three-aisled main building with a round apse at the end of the main nave. Originally the nave had a triple, expressionist pointed arch portal, this was replaced by a triple right-angled portal during the reconstruction, as well as the expressionist pointed arch window on the west facade by a large round window. The original pointed arches used to support the upper aisle were replaced by rectangular columns that meet the upper aisle at right angles. The upper facade windows, on the other hand, are still pointed arch windows that cite Gothic models.
organ
The organ was built in 1954 by the organ builder Seifert (Kevelaer). In 2008 the cone shop instrument was rebuilt by the organ builder Willi Peter (Cologne), and u. a. expanded by a swell . The organ has 28 registers on three manuals and a pedal . The playing and stop actions are electric.
