history

First chapel

Before today's church was built, Eimersdorf had a chapel , which must have been built before the Thirty Years War (1618–1648). It was probably partially destroyed during the war and rebuilt between 1680 and 1688. The chapel was inaugurated in 1696. From this time, namely from the year 1680, there was also a visit log from which it emerged that Eimersdorf belonged to the parish of Fremersdorf . Eimersdorf was previously assigned to the parish of Gerlfangen . In 1716 the chapel, which was located in today's Kapellenstrasse, was consecrated to St. Margaret.

New building planning

At the end of the 19th century, plans began to build a new chapel. On December 29, 1889, a chapel building fund association was founded. The Schnubel-Wiesen couple provided a building site , but it turned out to be unsuitable. A new building site was finally received in 1891 as a gift from the Petry-Clessienne couple on the occasion of their golden wedding anniversary . On July 13, 1891, the donation was confirmed by a notary . In the same year they asked the Episcopal Vicariate Trier for approval for the new building. This permit was only granted in 1893. The Trier cathedral builder Julius Wirtz was involved in drawing up the construction plans . The cost estimate was 17,000 marks . The building contract then took place in 1899.

Neo-Gothic new building

The foundation stone was laid on April 3, 1899 (Easter Monday). The foundation stone on the choir wall bears the Latin inscription "LAPIS ANGULARIS POSITUS F. II. PASCHATIS ​​AD MDCCCIC" (translation: "The foundation stone was laid on the second Easter day of the year of the Lord, 1899"). The Oberlimberg architect Zenner acted as the chief construction manager, and the building contractor Adam from Mechern acted as the building master . After a year of construction, the inauguration of the completed sacred building by the then Trier bishop Michael Felix Korum was able to take place on May 21, 1900 .

On November 7, 1941, the branch of St. Margaret was set up in the Fremersdorfer branch .

The upper floor of the tower was destroyed in the heavy fighting of the Second World War . In the years 1945 to 1955 the church was rebuilt, which was now the church of the Eimersdorf branch. The parish of St. Nikolaus in Rehlingen took over the church administration of Fremersdorf and Eimersdorf in 1978. In May 1983 Eimersdorf was assigned to the parish of St. Martin in Siersburg .

The Eimersdorf Expositur was repealed by decree on September 18, 2007.

architecture

Exterior

The Eimersdorfer Church is a small three-axis hall building with a retracted choir, a choir yoke and a three-sided end. It was built in neo-Gothic forms . The west tower was positioned in front of the ship. The slim tower open floor is set back and shaped octagonal. The buttresses have stone-faced cuboids at the front of the church and interlock with the plastered wall sections. This corner cuboid is continued on the tower above the buttresses. The pointed arch windows of the nave are divided by two-lane tracery and have different fits.

Interior

The interior of the Eimersdorf church is kept simple. The four-part ribbed vault rests on consoles in the nave and in the choir area. Only on the choir wall do the vault ribs merge into slim round services. The fighting stones are decorated with small vine leaves, which can be interpreted as an indication of the earlier viticulture in the Niedtal.
