St. Jakobus (Lülsdorf)
St. Jakobus is the Catholic parish church in the Niederkassel district of Lülsdorf .
history
The first church in Lülsdorf is likely to have been a separate church dedicated to Saint Pankratius in a Franconian manor. Between 700 and 800 there are reports about their new building. The provost of the Cologne cathedral chapter was allowed to occupy the pastoral position. Around 1100 a new building was built, the patronage of which, according to a document from 1598, was that of Saint Martin of Tours . Only then did the apostle James the Elder become the patron of the church. This is probably due to the renewed interest in pilgrimages to the tomb of the saint in Santiago de Compostela since the 17th century . Relics acquired there have been venerated in Lülsdorf ever since. The Romanesque old tower of this church still stands , today used culturally as a municipal gallery .
Building history
In 1850, Pastor Scheurer wrote his first letter to the Vicar General , in which he pointed out the need for a new building. But it was not until 1877 that the burning of field bricks could begin on site. The foundation stone was laid in 1878 and the construction was carried out according to plans and under the supervision of cathedral master builder Heinrich Wiethase . The building was completed in 1880, but could not be consecrated until 1889 because of the Kulturkampf .
Building description
The high, square church tower with its bent eight-sided pointed spire with a wrought-iron cross and weathercock dominates the building. It also forms the main entrance. Above it, the portal merges into a pointed arched glass window with three and four passports that extends to the height of the ridge . The following storeys are each tapered a little. the first has a window with a narrow viewing gap. The bell chamber has two high sound holes on each side .
The wide nave adjoins the tower, each with a narrow, low side aisle with high, ogival windows. Buttresses that are stepped four times support the nave and choir walls. Strong columns support the rectangular groin vaults. The east-facing, elongated choir with fan vaults with a three-sided closure with three windows with representational painting is set off by a profiled pointed arch. In the side aisles, which end in pointed arch niches, there are altars, in the south the so-called benefit altar, which is dedicated to the Holy Trinity and all saints, dates back to the 19th century, but goes back to a foundation of the Lord and Vogt von Lülsdorf from the 15th century . Prayer and foundation obligations are still followed today and financed from the foundation's assets. In the side wall of the north nave there is a niche for a reliquary and a figure of the patron. On the south side of the building is a stately, square, two-story sacristy with a tent roof and turret with bells. It used to be open to the nave and served as a box for special parishioners. This was not restored after the war. To the right of the church tower was a chapel with an outside entrance on the side, which was not rebuilt after being destroyed in the war. Further war damage affected the choir. The choir was raised during the reconstruction and the altar was moved from parts of the previously destroyed altar.

Bells
The bell was consecrated on June 21, 1890. The Marien bell (1) was taken over from the old church tower, in which the bell had hung until then, and the Maternus bell, because it was worn out, was remelted. Two new bells were purchased for this purpose. The Marienglocke (1) was cast by Johann von Alfter in 1513 . The memorial bell was preserved in the church during the Second World War . The three smaller bronze bells are from 1952 from the Feldmann & Marschel foundry .
