history

Predecessor churches

The heyday of the missionary activity of the Säckingen monastery, founded by St. Fridolin, was around the year 1000. According to the chronicler Rottler, a settlement in the form of a small chapel could have been built during this time. The first documentary mention of a church in Zell (ecclesia Cella) dates back to 1324. A statue of the Madonna made of linden wood is probably related to the Altar Foundation in 1330. The statue, which is spatially assigned to the Lake Constance area, was transferred to the neo-Romanesque high altar after its restoration in the 19th century, but after its removal it came to the rectory.

The tower was rebuilt in 1515, the year is now preserved on the lower floor of the tower hall. A pulpit erected in the north had a crown and was carried by four figures. Inside there was a gallery . In 1629 the new parish church was consecrated by the Auxiliary Bishop of Constance. Five years later the church tower fell victim to Swedish troops pillaging. In the years 1689 to 1699, an octagonal one was added to the tower substructure with a square floor plan. In 1710 a new nave was built for the church . As early as 1738, the building turned out to be ruinous and too small. According to a design by the architect Johann Caspar Bagnato , a new church without a choir was built between 1739 and 1740 , which was only inaugurated on July 8, 1749 by Bishop Franz Karl Graf von Fugger. After a devastating city fire on July 23, 1818, the church burned down almost to the foundation walls. Only the foundation and the lower part of the tower with the year 1540 remained.

Today's church

In August 1818, the master builder Frischi from St. Blasien presented plans for a new building, which were quickly implemented. The nave, completed in 1820, which was larger than the previous building, was consecrated on October 4th of the same year. The bell tower was not completed until 1823. The interior with the confessionals and vestry cupboards was carried out by the plasterer Jodok Friedrich Wilhelm between 1824 and 1827. In the course of the interior renovation from 1883 to 1885, the high altar was replaced by one with neo-Romanesque forms, which was designed in the Klemm workshop in Colmar . The side altars were created by the Offenburg artist Franz Josef Simmler in 1885 . The church underwent further repair work in 1903 and from 1926 to 1928. During the last-mentioned renovation, the ceilings of the nave and choir were decorated with cassettes.

After a fire in the night of May 30th to 31st, 1956 as a result of lightning, the tower and parts of the nave were destroyed. This meant that further renovation work was necessary between 1956 and 1957 in order to eliminate the fire damage. In 1971, the celebration altar was replaced by a marble one. The Pforzheim artist Anton Kunz designed the large hanging cross that was placed above the altar. At the same time the relics of the patron saint of the church, St. Fridolin, St. Brother Klaus von Flue and Margrave Bernhard von Baden, were allowed into the south wall of the nave.
