St. Jakobus (Rüdesheim)
The former, Catholic parish church of St. Jakobus is a listed church building in Rüdesheim am Rhein . Today St. Jakobus is a branch church of the parish Heilig Kreuz Rheingau, a new type of parish. The so-called Rheingau Cathedral in Geisenheim has also been the parish church of Rüdesheim since 2015 .
history
The oldest parts of the building are in the basement of the north tower. The early Romanesque chapel dates from the 11th century.
The church was donated by Johann Brömser around 1400 and built as an elongated hall structure. It was vaulted in 1489, at the same time the north aisle was added. In 1912 it was expanded to the east and south. In a heavy air raid on Rüdesheim during the Second World War , the church burned down on November 25, 1944. A large part of the inventory fell victim to the fire. The west facade with its octagonal corner turrets and the north aisle with the tower from the 12th century and its baroque dome have been preserved. From 1946 to 1956 the church was rebuilt in a modified form and in 1959 the spire was put on.
Furnishing
- The Marian altar from 1600 made of sandstone with a relief treated like paintings shows the return of the Holy Family from Jerusalem . It was donated by Hans Richard Brömser and his wife Anna Margareta von Kronberg to commemorate their wedding in 1587.
- Late Renaissance tomb from 1597 for Heinrich Engelhard Brömser. Brömser is shown lying down.
- Epitaph from the 16th century from the successor of Hans Backoffen .

organ
The organ was built in 1964 by the organ building company Wagenbach (Limburg). The instrument initially had 40 registers on three manuals and a pedal. After a change in the disposition in 1975, the organ was renovated, extensively redesigned and expanded in 1996 by the organ building company Oberlinger (Windesheim). The instrument underwent several enhancements and tonal revisions from 2012 by the organ building company Karl Göckel (near Heidelberg), in 2014 a 32 'counter trombone was added, in 2019 the installation of an original Spanish trumpeteria succeeded, the 4 registers sounded previously in the organ of the Zaragoza cathedral; This means that the organ of the Marienstatt Abbey (Westerwald) and the organ in St. Jakobus Rüdesheim are the only two organs outside the Iberian Peninsula that have original Spanish trumpets (i.e. made in Spain). Since then, the slider chest instrument has had 61 stops on three manuals and a pedal. The playing and stop actions are electric.

Bells
The oldest bell is the smallest from the 13th century, the only one to survive both world wars. As a heavy ribbed bell, it has neither decorations nor inscriptions. The original four main bells of the peal were cast in 1960 in Heidelberg by master Friedrich Wilhelm Schilling . Until late autumn 2018 they formed the five-part ensemble of St. Jakobuskirche. As early as 2017, plans were made to expand the existing number of bells to a total of nine bells. The two post-war bells from 1956 from the Feldmann & Marschel foundry in Münster, which previously hung in the secular Catholic St. Mary's Church in the neighboring Geisenheim, were to be integrated into the ringing. For this purpose, a new casting of two more bells was planned, which should be made in the Rincker Bells and Art Foundry in Sinn. After numerous donations, the community's project was implemented in 2018. The two new bells were successfully cast at Rincker, under the direction of the local bell founder Hanns Martin Rincker, on September 14, 2018. In order to be able to integrate the four additional bells into the existing bells, four of the five bells in the tower had to be moved a little. After several days of work in the bell room, all nine bells could be rung together for the first time punctually on December 1, 2018.
