The St. Lambertus Church is a Catholic parish church in Castrop-Rauxel . It is located in the center of the Castrop district and is the mother church of numerous parishes in Castrop-Rauxel, Herne and Gerthe .

Parish

The parish church belongs to the St. Lambertus parish, which, together with the parishes of St. Elisabeth, St. Franziskus, Hl. Kreuz, St. Marien and Hl. Guardian Angel, belongs to the pastoral association Castrop-Rauxel Süd in the Emschertal dean's office in the Archdiocese of Paderborn .

The St. Lambertus church is also equipped with a share of 32% as shareholders at the Catholic St. Lukas GmbH involved, the Catholic hospital Dortmund-West, the St. Joseph Hospital in Horde , the St. Rochus Hospital in Castrop-Rauxel and the St. Lambertus care facilities in Castrop-Rauxel.

Building history and structure

Before 1000, a hall church with a rectangular choir was built at the Reichshof Castrop, as has been proven by excavations. It was a separate church of the Counts of Kleve , who owned the Castrop court . In 1344 the name of the church with St. Lambert and Blasius was first mentioned. In the 12th century a Romanesque west tower was built (demolished in 1889) and in the 13th century the current old church was built from sandstone.

In the city, which expanded rapidly at the end of the 19th century, the church of the Catholic parish had to be enlarged. Immediately to the south of the old church , a single-tower long building made of Ruhr sandstone as a three-aisled basilica in neo-Gothic style was built in 1889/1890 according to a design by Paderborn cathedral builder Arnold Güldenpfennig . The historical building stock was incorporated into this new building with great sensitivity as the north aisle. Only the old tower and the old south aisle were laid down. The east-facing church is purely longitudinal, with no transept or crossing.

1926–1933 the church was converted into a Christ-Rex church with a new painting and a new high altar. By raising the chancel and walling up the side windows of the main choir, the church was darkened considerably. In 1942 the church was dismantled again in the spirit of the Middle Ages , but the sacrament house (see below) had to leave its place after centuries. In 1982–1984 the original proportions and lighting of the two parts were restored in a thorough renovation under the direction of the architect Manfred Ludes and adapted to the modern liturgical requirements. In 1982 a new sacristy made of Italian sandstone was added to the north side.

Works of art worth seeing

In the north aisle you can see the medieval hall church with the choir and the north aisle of the old church. In the old choir with semicircular apse, the three arched windows (windows by Jupp Gesing 1984) and the Romanesque vault, the keystones and capitals are worth seeing. The outstanding work of the old church is the sacrament house from 1516, which is attributed to Berndt Bunickmann from Münster. Since 1984 it has stood as a tabernacle in its traditional place on a stone block on the north side of the choir. The figures of saints come from a later period. In addition to furnishings from the 19th century, the altarpiece Johannes auf Patmos comes from the former Johannes altar from the Baroque period .

In the new church, the paintings in the central nave by Felix Schröder from Recklinghausen from 1899/1900 can be seen again since the renovation in 1982/1983. The vaults show plants, animals and geometric patterns. The upper storey paintings show scenes from the Old and New Testament. In the vault you can see instruments of suffering. Underneath hangs a triumphal cross from 1927. The program of the choir room related to Christ is continued in the windows of the apse designed by Jupp Gesing in 1983. The altar, ambo , frame and cover of the baptismal font and the Easter candlestick are works by Hermann Kunkler from 1983/1984. The former six - winged so - called Becker high altar has been on view in the right aisle since March 2014 .

In the church treasury of the St. Lambertus community there is also a late Gothic monstrance , a Dortmund work from 1500/1510.
