St. Konrad is a church with a parish center, parish hall, parsonage, kindergarten, youth center and an old nurses' house and is the center of the Catholic parish of the same name in the Speyer-Nord district of Speyer .

The patron saint is Saint Konrad von Parzham .

The church and the parish center with youth center in the basement of the parish center and kindergarten are typical testimonies of the concrete architecture of the 1970s. The present church from 1969 was preceded by a church of the same name from 1934.

Close ecumenical relationships exist with the neighboring evangelical community of the Christ Church .

The new Building

reasons

During the 1960s, the Speyer-Nord district, which was only created in 1932, grew rapidly. Around 300 Catholics in 1932, around 400 (1933), around 500 (1935) and 652 (1938) became 1,208 in 1951 and 1,642 in 1959. In addition, in December 1962 and January 1963, the parachute pioneer company 260 from Mannheim and the parachute artillery battalion 265 from Großengstingen in a newly built barracks north of the settlement. The influx of approx. 550 Catholic soldiers with approx. 150 Cath. Family members led to the establishment of a cath. Military pastoral care district for the locations Speyer, Germersheim , Bad Bergzabern , Landau and Neustadt with headquarters in Speyer and St. Konrad as a garrison church . Pastor Josef Keizer and the church council decided to demolish the old church, which was perceived as too small, and to build a new one.

On May 1, 1963, military pastor Oswald Simon became familiar with pastoral care in the district and St. Konrad Garrison Church.

Architect and construction planning

Senior building officer Alois Atzberger was selected as the architect by the episcopal building authority. Atzberger planned a system of 22 by 32 meters in exposed concrete. In addition, he placed a rectangular 22 meter high bell tower in the southwest corner, also made of exposed concrete .

Organ and the three bench blocks
Sanctuary

In the interior, three large bench blocks and a small one with straight wooden benches and 600 seats form a half-ring around a concrete altar , a concrete tabernacle , concrete sediles and a concrete ambo . Even the baptismal font and the statue of Mary of Jacob Adlhart are made of concrete. The church space is vaulted by a prestressed concrete ceiling , which swings up to a height of 16 meters behind the chancel on the east side on converging walls and also opposite on the west side. From these two peaks in the east and west, the ceiling swings four meters down to the center.

Alois Atzberger wrote about the church in 1969:

Visitors to this church can see the constructive tendency of contemporary art, especially since what is in it has been extracted from the material concrete. No valuable, artist-made materials were used for decoration. All individual parts are designed by the draftsman and are subordinate to the architecture. Abstraction, systematic, mathematical thinking can be clearly experienced, a constructive possibility is demonstratively exhausted. As in the entire constructional direction, all designing remains limited to one material. It focuses entirely on the concrete, the constructive starting point of the form. ... With all the simplicity and uniformity of the room, ... the altar is clearly the center and high point of the room, yes, the whole room design wants to bring the events on the altar closer to the community.

Concrete sculpture

For the area behind the chancel, the Salzburg professor Jakob Adlhart designed a rectangular, 14 meter high, monumental concrete sculpture. Above, the Lamb of God is enthroned as a symbol of the supernatural. Below that, on the right, factories and factory chimneys symbolize the earthly world, on the left, high-rise buildings, a television tower and in the foreground the old St. Konrad's Church. In the lower area, triangular structures can be seen on the left, which are reminiscent of minerals or rocks, on the right you can see fish in the water. The solid concrete structure is perforated in the middle part with an oval shape, to work out the centrally placed lamb above and in the upper area with further slender openings.

Construction work

Work began on August 15, 1967. A special feature is that initially only the roofed entrance and the gallery of the old St. Konrad Church were demolished (approx. One third of the building). The temporarily closed church was still used for church services during the construction work, until Passion Sunday 1969. The foundation stone was laid by Cathedral Chapter Josef Schwarz on October 22, 1967. With the palm consecration on March 30, 1969, the congregation said goodbye to the old church, which soon after fell victim to the wrecking ball, and moved into the new one. The new church was consecrated on October 19, 1969 by Bishop Friedrich Wetter . In the altar he enclosed relics of the holy martyrs Faustus and Felix from the old previous church. The Episcopal Finance Chamber spent DM 950,000 on building the church. Because it was used as a garrison church, the Federal Ministry of Defense contributed 23% of the construction costs.

Parish center

The second construction phase of the parish center began on June 20, 1969. On the south-east side of the church, along the Nussbaumweg, there is a low-rise building with partial basements with the uses (from west to east): sacristy, three meeting rooms and tea kitchen (including a youth center with table tennis room, an adjoining room and two group rooms), kindergarten (four rooms a 25 children, remedial room, office and a gymnastics room). The parish center, also planned by Alois Atzberger, was built under the direction of architect Ernst Imo. The center, which cost 800,000 DM to build, was consecrated on April 16, 1972 by Cathedral Chapter Prelate Bruno Thiebes.

Way of the Cross

In 1974 the west wall was decorated with a way of the cross of 15 pictures. The enamel pictures are from Pastor Herman Matthes ( Neuhofen ).

organ

St. Konrad organ

After church music had been supported by a small organ for a long time, a large and sonorous organ was consecrated on November 26, 1978, which the parish had bought from the parish and Cistersian church in Eusserthal . The organ was installed on the west side of the church behind the believers facing the altar on the east side. The costs were raised by the congregation over the course of five years, in parallel to funding the formation of a priest in the Third World. Since then, the church choir, singing group or band have also been located in this area.

Joseph Chapel

On the south side of the church, a chapel with 40 seats was separated off in the area of ​​the former location of the small organ and the church choir for weekday services . This was "on May 1, 1981 the religious festival of the workers Josef " of Domdekan Bruno Thiebes to Josef chapel consecrated. The front of the chapel is decorated with a relief of Christ, surrounded by the four evangelists , by Helmut Schollenberger. On the long side Schollenberger's frieze figures of faith - Noah , Abraham , Jacob and Moses was attached. On the partition wall to the church in the chapel there are pictures of Pastor Hermann Matthes with Eucharistic motifs , on the outside there are motifs from the Secret Revelation .

window

The new lead glass windows: here on the northeast side, above the curved exposed concrete roof

Originally the large windows were made of simple glass. The colored surfaces on the inside consisted of colored glass silk fabric, which was then impregnated with synthetic resin. According to Alois Atzberger, these windows were the result of long attempts to easily achieve sound absorption. With you it is possible to almost normalize reverberation times of concrete bodies that are too long through strong absorption .

Over time, the window frames loosened from their anchorage with the concrete and steel supports. Water seeped into the concrete and the interior of the church. Tests showed that it was not possible to remove the colored parts of the windows without damage. The municipality then decided to install new leaded glazing after the windows had been renovated. Thomas Münzer was won as the executive artist.

Construction problems

In addition to the rotting of the window construction, the insufficient covering of the iron reinforcement of the concrete on the surfaces exposed to the weather led to massive damage, so that after 25 years a comprehensive concrete renovation had to be considered.

The prestressed concrete roof, which was protected with zinc sheet , was so corroded that it was not possible to repair the sheet metal, instead a new roof skin had to be installed.

The amount of water penetrating through the roof and windows had also led to considerable concrete damage in the church, so that a renovation of the exposed concrete was inevitable.

The insulation of the windows in general and the roof insulation in the parish center was also poor . The high-temperature boiler of the entire system was also worn out. The municipality could not avoid a comprehensive renovation after a quarter of a century of downtime.

Predecessor church

The old St. Konradskirchlein, 1934–1969

overview

As early as 1934, shortly after the founding of the Speyer-Nord district, as a self-help settlement, the first small church of St. Konrad was built. A parsonage was attached to it and a nurses' house was added, the nuns of which ran a kindergarten and provided health services. A parish hall completed the ensemble. While the parsonage and the parish hall are still in use today, the nurses' house had to be closed due to a lack of children. After renting it to a doctor's practice, the nurses' house was converted into a rehearsal room for the church choir and function rooms for the parish hall.

The old church was demolished in 1969 and replaced by today's much larger concrete church because the district grew rapidly and a larger garrison had been added.

Building needs and decision

Speyer-Nord, which was newly established in 1932 as a settlement under the Reichsheimstätten Act , initially belonged to the cathedral parish. However, an hour's walk to the cathedral was too arduous and too far, especially for old people and children. The cathedral church administration rejected the suggestion of the city administration that Catholics and Protestants should build a common prayer room in Eichenweg, next to the settler community center, while the Protestant presbytery would have been willing to do so.

The cathedral parish, which last built the St. Albertusheim on Domplatz in 1933, lacked the money to build a church in the north of Speyer. At the request of the cathedral parish court, however, the Speyer bishop Ludwig Sebastian ordered that the cathedral parish should receive a loan from the pension reserves of the emeritus institution.

terrain

Thereupon the church leased the building interest of two pfennigs per square meter on August 15, 1934 for the church 620 m², on August 15, 1935 for the nursing home and children's school 900 m² and on March 1, 1936 the garden with 2,250 m². The lease was initially not signed because the city was hoping to exchange land with the old Catholic cemetery on Kaiser-Friedrich-Strasse. Only on April 15, 1953, the property was acquired by the diocese and the cath. Church foundation St. Konrad donated.

architect

The architect Ludwig Ihm from Speyer was commissioned with the planning of the complex. He was previously involved in the construction of the St. Josef student residence (corner of Bahnhofstrasse) and the Konviktskirche.

The architect wanted to build a church in the style of a village church as the center of the one and two-family houses with their gardens and front gardens. The pillar-cantilevered canopy over the main entrance should look inviting. The tower shouldn't be too high, but rather modest. According to the architect Dompfarrer Hofen, the broadly drawn-down canopy of the ship should symbolize the biblical parable of the "hen who gathers her chicks". The then cathedral chaplain reported that the architect had worked lovingly and tirelessly on his drawings and plans until the final plan had matured.

construction

The shell construction was started on August 13, 1934 by the Ableiter and Moos brothers. On behalf of the church, the companies hired 20 unemployed workers from the settlement in two phases. (The unemployment rate at that time was 30%). The altars and the columns and blocks were created by the stonemason Heinrich Müller with his journeymen and apprentices. Zimmermann Zöller put the roof structure and the spire together. The foundation stone was laid on the afternoon of October 7, 1934 by Bishop Ludwig Sebastian together with the entire clergy of the city, with great sympathy from the settlers and Catholics from the city. The celebratory sermon was given by a brother of the Holy Brother Konrad Superior Hermengild from Blieskastel. The church was completed in five months. The costs were 57,482.86 Reichsmarks and 4,860.80 Reichsmarks for three bronze bells and the bell system. Bishop Sebastian was able to consecrate the new church on December 23, 1934, the fourth Sunday in Advent . The high altar was made in the name of St. Consecrated brother Konrad von Parzham.

Side altars, church decorations and organ

Due to the rededication of the Catholic teachers' school as a secondary school, the congregation was able to purchase its organ for 2,500 Reichsmarks including the renovation. The painting of the new church was entrusted to the Capuchin brother Rudolf Wankmüller. The artist executed the large altarpiece and a Way of the Cross as a fresco. For the two side altars he designed the statue of Our Lady and a statue of St. Laurentius. The amount of 6000 Reichsmarks for the painting and the statues was raised through donations. The episcopal consecration of the Altar of Our Lady and the statue took place on August 7, 1938, that of the Altar of St. Lawrence and the statue on August 13, 1939.

Sister house

On July 19, 1935, it was decided to build a nursing home with a kindergarten. In addition to running the kindergarten, the sisters were supposed to provide outpatient nursing care. The building, worth 68,057.77 Reichsmarks, was inaugurated by the bishop on January 26, 1936. Initially, the nurses' house had to be entrusted to the Niederbronn sisters , who had already accidentally carried out the medical service from Engelsgasse.

However, the rulers at the time had taken the Dominican Sisters of St. Magdalena from the girls' college in Ludwigshafen am Rhein and forbade them to give private lessons. Therefore the bishop decided to install these sisters in Speyer-Nord. The sisters were happy to take over the ministry, while many of their fellow sisters had to emigrate to Brazil and Peru . The small monastery, occupied by four to eight sisters, existed until July 16, 1970, when a lack of young people forced the sisters of St. Magdalena to close this branch of monastic life.

Second World War

Many of the men in the parish did not come from the Second World War, injured or returned years later from captivity. Unlike the fallen, the bells of St. Konrad, which had been drawn in for "war-related purposes", could be replaced by new ones on December 22, 1957 and consecrated by cathedral priest Josef Seitz († 1964). The two bells Konrad von Parzham and Maria - Our Lady of the Imperial Cathedral cost 9,536.46 DM.

Chaplain

Care from the cathedral parish

The pastor was initially cathedral pastor Karl Hofen (term of office 1932–1939) with his cathedral chaplain Bruno Thiebes (1933–1936) and Peter Schill (1933–1935), who as often as they could and their duties to the 9,500 souls of the cathedral parish allowed went to Speyer-Nord by bike. A meeting room for 40 people was available under the church choir. The youth and women and on Wednesdays the men were invited to roundtables and singing lessons. Kaplan Schill's successor was Kaplan Josef Plettenberg (1935–1937). From the beginning of the settlement, the sisters in Engelsgasse were responsible for looking after the sick, needy people and children and were out and about with their bikes from morning to night. Sister Leogatus was particularly gifted at finding the right word for everyone and at resolving disputes. Kaplan Thiebes was followed by Kaplan Karl Mentz (1936–1940). From 1940 to 1950 Alfred Scheller was the cathedral priest and from 1950 to 1958 Josef Seitz .

Expositur

Another cathedral chaplain (since 1937), Wilhelm Truth , became the first pastor of the St. Konrad Expositur, which was established on October 1, 1940, at the suggestion of the Dompfarrer Hofen . Sister M. Augustina had already asked the bishop for her own pastor for the community in a four-page letter beginning with "St. Konrad Monastery, settlement on July 2nd, 1937". One of the main pastoral care tasks of the committed clergyman was to give consolation to the many members of the community who lost relatives in the Second World War . In 1947 Expositus Truth became a religion teacher in Zweibrücken, from 1957 a teacher in Speyer.

From 1946 to 1951 Pastor August Wilhelm (from Offenbach / Queich) was the branch of St. Konrad.

From August 1, 1951, Josef Keizer , the then 42-year-old chaplain from Waldsee, was appointed pastor of the St. Konrad branch.

On Peter and Paul Day in 1952, Hubert Lerch was the only priest from the parish of St. Konrad to be ordained by Bishop Joseph Wendel.

Parish

1971 to 2010 pastor of St. Konrad Monsignor Erwin Bersch

In 1958 the St. Konrad branch became the parish of St. Konrad. During Josef Keiser's tenure in 1960, the new building of the rectory and also, see above, the second church building and the preparation of the building of the parish center began.

The consequences of his severe war injuries to his face, neck and left leg and his life-long malaria forced the tireless pastor Josef Keizer to look for a smaller parish in Ranschbach in 1971 after a long and serious illness .

During the illness of Pastor Keizer from 1968 to 1971 Chaplain Klaus Armbrust worked as assistant priest and parish administrator.

From 1971 to 2010 Monsignor Erwin Bersch from Kapsweyer , to whom Chaplain Armbrust had recommended the parish, was pastor of St. Konrad. He received support from Deacon Klaus Peter Hilzensauer from 1974 to 1980, from 1980 to 1983 Chaplain Bernhard Walz and from 1984 to 1987 from Chaplain Manfred Leiner . From 2003 to 2005 he was supported by pastoral officer Kerstin Fleischer. In August 2010, Pastor Bersch retired at the age of 72 and moved to Bad Bergzabern near his home town of Kapsweyer.

On September 12, 2010, cathedral pastor Matthias Bender made his official promise as the new pastor of St. Konrad. With him, chaplain Michael Paul and parish officer Sigrid Sandmeier were introduced to their offices as the pastoral care team of St. Konrad.

Parish of St. Konrad in the cathedral parish of Pax Christi

In the course of the change in the parish structure according to the parish pastoral concept in 2015 , the 346 parishes and 123 parish communities of the Diocese of Speyer were merged into 70 parishes on January 1st, 2016. The former parish of St. Konrad has since been part of the Speyer parish Pax Christi, which covers the entire area of ​​the city of Speyer and consists of five parishes.

local community

The community has u. a. via a kindergarten , a youth affiliated to the DPSG , a Catholic. Women's community, a parish library (since 1946) in the basement of the parish center, a church choir (since 1948), a singing group, sports groups and a working group for young families. It organizes afternoons for the elderly, a parish festival, community days, dances, advanced training events and much more.

The community also takes part in the district's festivals, the settlers' festival and the Advent market, which take place on the square in front of the church, Heinrich-Lang-Platz.

The parish hall is also the focus of the work of the Speyer choir community and their choirs.
