St. Jakob is an Evangelical Lutheran church in Nuremberg . It is located in the Jakoberviertel to the southwest of the Lorenz old town . The church is a station on the Franconian Way of St. James .

history

The church was handed over to the Teutonic Order on February 20, 1209 as a small Romanesque chapel by Emperor Otto IV . It was demolished about 80 years later and the demolition material was used for a new building that was built on the old choir foundation. The Teutonic Order founded the St. Elisabeth Hospital opposite the church. The order was endowed with more and more possessions by King Friedrich II . In 1304 the old royal court and the surrounding area were added. During the Reformation, St. Jacob's Church became one of the Protestant city churches. In 1531 a preaching position was created, but the church continued to be owned by the Catholic Teutonic Order.

Saint Anne herself the third

In 1632, during the Thirty Years' War , King Gustav Adolf expropriated the Teutonic Order, handed over the Jakobskirche to the city of Nuremberg and had an extensive renovation carried out. In 1648 it was returned to the Teutonic Order through the provisions of the Peace of Westphalia . As part of the secularization , the Teutonic Order House and all buildings fell to the Kingdom of Bavaria in 1806 .

In 1810 St. Jakob became the third Protestant parish church.

Bells

German order coming from Nuremberg

→ Main article: German Order Coming Nuremberg

The Deutschhaus barracks and later the police headquarters were built on the site of the Ordenshaus (also Deutsches Haus). The unfinished dome of St. Elisabeth's Church , begun in 1785, served as a state building warehouse and military depot, later as an emergency church. In 1902 it was finally completed. After the Frauenkirche , it became the second Catholic parish church in Nuremberg. In 1943 the dome building was badly damaged by air raids, the reconstruction lasted until 1962. Inside some changes were made: The three-aisled, vaulted hall was replaced by a self-supporting hall.
