St. Lambertus (Bremen (Ense))
The Catholic parish church of St. Lambertus is a listed church building in Ense-Bremen , a district of the municipality of Ense in the Soest district , North Rhine-Westphalia .
History and architecture
The church was first mentioned in 1070, the parish is one of the oldest in Westphalia. In 1484, the von Fürstenberg family donated a vicariate to St. John . It should be used for reading masses in the immediate vicinity of the home of the donor family.
A previous church was named when it was incorporated into the St. Georg Abbey in Cologne in 1081/1089. The monastery had the right to fill the pastoral positions. A Romanesque church building is documented for the 12th and early 13th centuries.
The basilica was built in 1905 after the Romanesque transept and the choir were demolished in 1516 as a neo-Gothic staggered hall with a narrow front yoke and three yokes. The architect was Johannes Franziskus Klomp . The single stepped portal of the former south transept, dating from the 14th century, with inserted columns and chalice block capitals and chessboard ornamentation in the archivolts was moved to a later extension on the west side of the tower. In the tympanum is seen flanked by a vine cross. The double-stepped south portal shows the birth of Christ in the tympanum and wild men with ax and club in the reliefs inserted on the side. It is one of the oldest plastic representations of the Christmas story in Westphalia. According to recent findings, the so-called wild men are supposed to represent Adam with a hoe in hand and Eve with a distaff. The church of three and a half bays and a 5/8 choir closure was mainly built from green sandstone. The sound arcades of the sturdy west tower with the column set were partially exposed in 2004. A high barrel vault has been drawn into the tower hall, which is closed to the ship . The windows of the nave have recently been enlarged. The yokes inside are summarized by overlay arches , the wall template is stepped. In the central nave, groin vaults rest between pressed belt arches on angular templates. Barrel vaults have been drawn into the aisles. Remnants of the original room setting were uncovered and supplemented in the western Langhausjoch between 1954 and 1955.

Bells
St. Lambertus has had 4 bells for many centuries. The three largest bells of the four-part bronze bell f′-g′-a′-b ′ were melted down in 1917 and replaced by four new bronze bells by Heinrich Humpert / Brilon in 1926. The new bells sounded in dis'-fis'-gis'-ais' and was melted down in 1942. In 1947 four cast steel bells were hung in a second strike tone rib. The bell sounded in cis'-e'-fis'-a 'and had to be hung on cranked steel yokes due to the mass. In 2003 the smallest bell had to be shut down due to a yoke damage and soon afterwards the bell was completely replaced. The Perner bell foundry in Passau delivered four new bells that ring on new wooden yokes.
