St. Dionysius (credit speech)
The Evangelical Lutheran Church of St. Dionysius is the village church of Nettelrede , a district of Bad Münder am Deister in the Hameln-Pyrmont district in Lower Saxony . The neo-Gothic nave was added to the tower that remained from the previous building from 1862 to 1864 according to plans by Conrad Wilhelm Hase .
history
Nettelrede ("Nitelrede") was one of the goods with which Bishop Bernward von Hildesheim furnished the Michaeliskloster he founded in Hildesheim in 1022 . The construction of the first church should not be done much later, after also Dionysius - patronage suggesting. The tower with stepped gables , which still exists today, is essentially Romanesque . In 1241 the estate and church belonged to Hermann von Arnheim , who sold them to the Wülfinghausen monastery in the same year with all income and church patronage .
With the introduction of the Reformation in the Principality of Calenberg , the church became Lutheran in 1561. In 1626, the pastor at the time, Laurentius Weber, led the residents of the village into the Deister forests to get them to safety from the approaching mercenaries of Tilly . Nevertheless, a large part of the village population was killed by war and plague .
The medieval Dionysius Church was dilapidated around the middle of the 19th century and also too small. It was torn down except for the tower and replaced by today's neo-Gothic brick building by Conrad Wilhelm Hase.
Construction and equipment
Hase designed a tall building, the roof ridge almost reaching that of the tower. To the nave he added two lower transept arms to the east and two portal vestibules to the west, each with its own gable. He gave the chancel in the east the shape of a 5/8 apse with gables above each wall. It is flanked by two 5/8 closed side apses, which are separated from the church interior and serve as functional rooms.
Inside, under the roof truss, a double-tiered wooden flat ceiling is inserted, which is supported by slender columns and arches richly decorated with carvings, creating the spatial impression of a three-aisled basilica . The neo-Gothic altarpiece , rich in branches, forms the framework for a crucifixus . As an altar panel from the abandoned was churchyard originating Epitaph of a pastor used officiated for 60 years in Nettelrede in the 18th century. In addition to personal information, it is labeled with a word from the Bible ( 2 Tim 4: 7–8 LUT ). Hase had the frame of the sacrament niche from the old church inserted under the simple wooden pulpit , now as a window frame.
The organ comes from the time it was built and is a work of the Göttingen company Carl Giesecke . During a complete renovation in 1999, it was returned to its original state. The church was completely renovated in 2009 with a new, light color scheme for the wooden parts.
