The Catholic, St. James consecrated parish church St. James, on the corner of Main Street and Church Street in Schutterwald. It is the end of the 6th and the starting point of the 7th stage of the Kinzigtäler Jakobusweg , which leads to Kehl .
history
Since 1361 there was a church in the same place . The successor building was also demolished . On September 7, 1784 the foundation stone was laid for today's church in the village with around 800 inhabitants . The nave was inaugurated in 1787 . The design came from an architect who came from Vorarlberg and lived with his family in Schutterwald for a few years and built other churches in the region. The pulpit is the only remaining interior from 1787. The completion of the church was delayed due to quarrels among the citizens . The congregation exercising the church patronage had to finance the church tower and the choir . The high altar could Offenburg sculptor Franz Josef Simmler therefore built only 1890th The side altars were not completed.
description
The heyday of the baroque was already over. The church is considered to be an important transition point from the late Baroque architectural style to the classicist period that followed. In the interior there are various ornaments in plait style , e.g. B. Garlands made of stucco , which are now gold-plated.
Building
The church tower, visible from afar, consists of three floors with a square floor plan . On the top, slightly retracted floor there are sound arcades on all sides , above which the clock faces of the tower clock are attached. Behind it is the bell chamber . A hood with a lantern rises above a final cornice . The nave of the hall church has a rectangular floor plan . Its five window axes are covered with a gable roof, which is hipped on the side of the choir . The deep, drawn-in, polygonal closed choir also has a gable roof, but due to the common roof ridge and the eaves of the same height , this is steeper than that of the nave . The interior of the nave is spanned by a flattened barrel vault into which the stitch caps of the yokes protrude. Pilasters are arranged between the arched windows , some in pairs. The choir is covered with a flattened apse dome , also provided with stitch caps. Hugo Huber from Durbach created five ceiling paintings in the late Baroque style in 1892 .
Furnishing
The main motif of the high altar is the Trinity . In front of the painting of the historic Schutterwald with the church in the foreground and the mountains of the Black Forest in the background , the mercy seat is depicted as a sculpture . On the left side of the altar is a statue of Landelin von Ettenheimmünster , on the right one of Sebastian . There are three representations from the Old Testament on the predella of the altar . The altar was set in white and gold in 2005. During the Second World War, the citizens of Schutterwald vowed to donate an altar if the village was spared the war. The old side altar was demolished in 1948 and the new altar erected in 1950, which Emil Sutor created from dark green marble . It contains a portrait of the Virgin , painted by Paul Hirt from Villingen . Mary with the baby Jesus is enthroned above the Schutterwald, which was spared from war.
The wooden, marbled pulpit with the integrated sound cover shows itself contrary to the lush display of splendor of the German in the strict and calm French baroque. The pulpit was restored in 1973 and the sound cover was added by Manfred Stiller from Stuttgart with an angel holding the tablets of the law . The statues of Konrad von Parzham and Josef von Nazaret were carved out of wood by the Offenburg sculptor Heinz Kramer around 1925. They were kept in natural colors until 2005 and were then set in white and gold. The Stations of the Cross were carved by Wolfgang Kleiser from Hammereisenbach in 1973. During the renovation in 2005, they were adapted to the colors of the high altar. The Pietà was carved from linden wood in 1982 by Josef Anton Leismüller from Garmisch-Partenkirchen . Until 2000 it stood on the right side of the church as a side altar, in the course of the renovation it was placed in the prayer room under the gallery . In front of the Pietà is a large candlestick forged by Meinrad Wehrle from Emmendingen from two elements of the old communion bench . For the redesign of the presbytery with celebration altar , ambo and choir stalls was Wolfgang Eckert commissioned. In 2011 he also created a contemporary depiction of St. James surrounded by pilgrims in stone . The celebration altar from 2009 is made entirely of metal, its frame is made of aluminum, and the brass canteen rests on it . In the past, the floor of the entire choir was covered with ceramic tiles made of majolica . Today only the area from the high altar to the celebration altar is left, which looks like a carpet thanks to a black border.
Today's organ with 35 registers and 2,551 pipes was built in 1964 by Johannes Klais Orgelbau . It has three manuals , a mechanical action , as well as playing aids such as coupling , a swell and a tremulant in free combination. The prospectus was created by the company Oskar Herrmann from Schutterwald. The organ, built by Xaver Mönch in 1905 , was somewhat smaller than today's organ with two manuals, 24 registers and pneumatic control. It was sold to Franz Winterhalter, Claudius Winterhalter's father, in 1963 .
