St. Jakob (Wildenreuth)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The simultaneous parish church of St. Jakob is a simultaneous church in Wildenreuth, a district of the city of Erbendorf in the northern Upper Palatinate . It is the only church in the Tirschenreuth district that is still used by the Catholic and Protestant congregations.

History and description

Today's church in Wildenreuth was built after the old church burned down completely down to the tower between 1808 and 1810 and had to be rebuilt. However, due to financial problems, the new structure was not completed until 1832. At that time the church tower received its pyramid roof. The great fire in Wildenreuth in 1851 caused considerable damage to the furnishings, as a result of which the altar was redesigned.

In the west of the church is the church tower, the oldest part of the church building, recognizable by the year 1698, which is attached to the north side. The hall building has a two-storey gallery and a semicircular closed choir. The nave and the chancel are spanned by a barrel vault with stitch caps over the windows.

The altar of St. Jakob, decorated with Bandelwerkormanet, comes from the Paulanerkirche in Amberg and was probably made around 1730. The altarpiece was created in 1860 and shows the resurrection of Christ, the smaller picture above shows the Lord's Supper . There are two putti above the pillars as a few figures on the altar.

The pulpit from the early 19th century is located on the west side of the church and shows the coat of arms of the Podewils - Lindenfels family on the sound cover . A quartz tombstone of Johann Ernst von Podewils, who died in 1669, is set in the south wall of the choir .
