St. Karl Borromeo (Diersburg)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

St. Karl Borromäus is the Roman Catholic parish church of Diersburg , part of the political community of Hohberg in the Ortenau district of Baden-Württemberg . The parish together with the parishes of St. Gallus in Hofweier and St. Brigitta in Niederschopfheim, both also part of the political community of Hohberg, form the Hohberg pastoral care unit of the Archdiocese of Freiburg .

history

Tirsperc (from animal = hind) is first mentioned in 1197 in "Walter von Tiersberg" († 1235), in a donation from the Margraves of Baden to the Selz monastery . The village takes its name from the Lords of Tiersberg, a side line of the Lords of Geroldseck , or their castle, which was probably built in the 11th century. The part facing the valley exit was called Regelhofen until the 15th century . When the Tiersbergers died out, Diersburg came into the possession of the Baden margraves via the Hummel von Staufenberg and other noble families. They left it in 1463 to a family Roeder to feud that has since Roeder of Diersburg called and had the fief to the 1806th

For a long time Diersburg and the neighboring Oberschopfheim formed a market cooperative and a single parish with St. Leodegar in Oberschopfheim as the parish church. The church, now known as the “Leutkirche”, is located west of Oberschopfheim a good 3 km from Diersburg on an open field, was restored in 1963 after a long period of decay and serves as the Catholic pilgrimage church “Maria von der Immerstistenthilfe”. In 1455 there is talk of "Spänn and Zweyung between the common village people of Oberschopfheim and Diersburg regarding their church and Almendt ". The Roeder, superiors of both villages, settled the dispute. For example, Oberschopfheimers should contribute two and Diersburg one third to the preservation of the church. In order to improve the religious care of the people of Diersburg, the Roederers asked the responsible bishop of Strasbourg in 1471 for permission to employ a permanent chaplain to read Holy Mass in their castle chapel . The bishop agreed - in view of the great distance from the "Leutkirche" "and since both sexes of old people and pregnant women Winter Zytt and in heavy rain and thunderstorms it is difficult and uncomfortable to come to their parish church". During the Thirty Years War , the chapel was destroyed along with the castle. In 1786 the Markgenossenschaft with Oberschopfheim was dissolved.

In 1523 Egenolf von Roeder, who also played a role in the introduction of the Reformation in Strasbourg, occupied his castle chaplain with an evangelical clergyman. Gradually, many subjects converted to the new doctrine. St. Leodegar became a simultaneous church . The denomination changed several times. The local rule was tolerant. “It is a fame sheet in the history of Diersburg that the relationship between the denominations was always peaceful.” From 1789 to 1790 a Protestant church was built in Diersburg, which was followed by a new one after it was demolished in 1974. The Catholics were still dependent on the church in Oberschopfheim - no longer the old "Leutkirche", but a church built in 1714, which had taken over the patronage of St. Leodegar and whose demolition in 1955 a new one followed. It was not until 1831 that the approximately four hundred Diersburg Catholics built their own - today's church - which initially remained a branch of Oberschopfheim and was upgraded to an independent parish church in 1864.

The Roeder fiefdom became a family estate in 1806 with the incorporation of Diersburg into the Grand Duchy of Baden .

Construction and equipment

The church, built by the Diersburg "master carpenter Schaubrenner and <..> Steinhauer Samson" in 1831, was expanded from 1904 to 1905, the interior was changed from 1955 to 1956 and the interior was painted in 1983. The undemanding hall has a square roof turret. The facade gable with its small volutes and the classicist door design are reminiscent of the time it was built. The retracted choir closes polygonally on the outside and is designed as an apse dome on the inside .

Charles Borromeo; Oil study for the Diersburg altarpiece

High altar picture

In the apse, above the simple altar, hangs Marie Ellenrieder's painting of St. Charles Borromeo . Ellenrieder had previously painted altarpieces for St. Nikolaus in Neuried-Ichenheim , St. Bartholomäus in Ortenberg and St. Stephan in Karlsruhe . She owed the Diersburg commission to Karl Christoph Roeder von Diersburg , with whom she was friends, who tried himself artistically and who advised her. She dealt in depth with her subject. She wrote to Roeder in March 1838 when the picture was finished:

“It was when I had barely started the carton ; an Italian named here Baron v. Strictly he had a German father but an Italian mother for his mother: this is the Dommherr in Vercelli : he took great interest in my company; and made a matter of making myself aware of the mistakes in my costume arrangement: he could tell me exactly the size of the collar with a hood, and that my manner as I had it would have been that of the cathedral lord; and since they also had a cardinal who would be bishop; he must know. He also bathed me to put the stick for hat & book at the foot of the cross, while they never held it when it was working. "

Roeder's influence is attributed to a turn to more “personal and natural” in the Diersburg image. The decisive pictorial idea - how the saint, cardinal's hat and staff next to him, kneeling in front of the crucifix and praying up to the crowned with thorns - is inspired by baroque works. Ellenrieder might have wanted to show her friend an example of piety in the image of his namesake. "The altar painting of Diersburg <...> is undoubtedly one of the artist's most beautiful holy pictures."

On the feast day of St. Charles Borromeo, November 4, 1838, the picture was placed at the destination.

Others

On the north wall, a painting of unknown origin shows St. John Nepomuk . "Among the few figures, a small early Baroque carving of an Immaculata is pleasantly noticeable."
