from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
St. Dionysius Church

The Catholic parish church of St. Dionysius is a listed church building in Seppenrade , a district of Lüdinghausen , in the Coesfeld district , in North Rhine-Westphalia .

History and architecture

The parish Seppenrothe was first mentioned in a document in 1184. Since that time there have been several previous buildings in different architectural styles. There were references to Romanesque and late Gothic elements.

The current three-aisled building was built from 1882 to 1884 as a neo-Gothic church according to plans by the architect August Hanemann . The bricks used come from Lüdinghausen , the other stones and cornices from the Eifel. The mighty building block of the nave is structured by stepped buttresses and Gothic tracery windows. With turrets crowned dormers and finials of copper adorn the slate roof . The central nave and the equally high, but narrower side aisles are divided into five bays . The very slender round pillars are each accompanied by four services . In the single-nave choir , the windows are closer together than in the nave. The choir is decorated with sculptures on the capitals and keystones . The distinctive point of the tower is on many kilometers around true symbolically visible. Narrow, vertical bands protrude from the masonry on the basement. They form strong buttresses towards the top, which are crowned by pinnacles made of sandstone. The tower body ends above the high sound openings with projecting pointed arch friezes . An open lantern is inserted into the slender ascending helmet .

Furnishing

  • From the earlier church buildings, among other things, the St. Paul relief from the 15th century and the tomb of Pastor Heinrich Schahausz have been preserved. The Paul relief comes from the "old cathedral" in Münster. The altar of this church was donated to the parish of Seppenrade.
  • The richly decorated baptismal font in the shape of a cup dates from the first half of the 17th century.
  • In the tower there is a late baroque pietà , which was taken over from the previous church.

organ

The organ was built in 1999 by the organ construction company Mönch (Überlingen) in the existing organ case from 1896. The instrument has 25 stops on two manuals and a pedal . A quarter of the pipe material comes from the predecessor organ by Friedrich Fleiter (Münster) from 1896. The playing and stop actions are mechanical.
