St. Margareta

The Roman Catholic parish church of St. Margareta is a listed church building in Wadersloh , a municipality in the Warendorf district ( North Rhine-Westphalia ). The church is under the patronage of St. Margaret of Antioch . The community belongs to the deanery Ahlen-Beckum in the diocese of Münster . The parish includes the branch churches St. Nikolaus in Wadersloh-Diestedde , St. Cosmas and Damian in Wadersloh-Liesborn , St. Antonius in Langenberg-Benteler and St. Josef in Lippstadt-Bad Waldliesborn .

history

The church was mentioned in 1187 in a document from Prince-Bishop of Münster Hermann II von Katzenelnbogen , who assigned the church to the Archdeacon of St. Martini in Münster . Due to the difficult border situation - in the east the parish bordered on the territory of the Lords of Lippe and in the south on the territory of the Archbishop of Cologne - there were repeated wars, pillage and looting. During such a looting at the end of the 16th century, the valuable Margaret shrine from the 12th century disappeared.

First church

The first church was built on this site before 1100, it was destroyed in 1121 by Lothar von Supplinburg and his troops.

Second church

A stone church building is documented for 1225. The vaults were ogival; the aisles were lower than the central nave , both aisles had apses in the east, on both sides of the choir . This church was St. Blessed Mother and Saint Margaret a tympanum with the inscription was placed above the south portal of this building , which is now shown in the north transept. This church burned down to the ground in 1803. The altars for Saint Margaret, James the Elder were also erected. Ä. and Nikolaus destroyed.

Third Church

The small church stood in the middle of the former churchyard, it was equipped with a few emergency rooms. It was built in 1805 on the foundations of its predecessor, stones from the dissolved Liesborn monastery were used as building material. It stood where the south transept and the high choir are today. The tower was not completed until 1823. In 1856 the church became too small due to the growing number of parishioners. A fund was set up to enable a new building.

Fourth church

The neo-Gothic building was built from 1892 to 1894 on the property of the previous building under the influence of historicism . The estimated construction cost of 300,000 gold marks was raised through house collections and collections. The plans were made by the architect Wilhelm Rincklake from Münster. The foundation stone was laid on June 14th, 1892 and Diocesan Bishop Hermann Dingelstad consecrated the church on October 10th, 1894. Three extensive renovations were carried out, the last one trying to restore the neo-Gothic character. The foundation stone was added during the renovation in 1960.

The free-standing building stands on a cobbled church square. At the time of construction, the building was surrounded by narrow streets. Because space was limited, the main tower was moved into the church. The bricks required were burned on site; the sheathing was done in Baumberger sandstone.

architecture

The church stands on a cross-shaped floor plan and has an east-facing choir with a 5/8 end, which is flanked by two square towers with a height of 56 meters. The nave is also 56 meters long and 30 meters wide. The west tower has a height of 88 meters. The tower is crowned with a globe, a cross and a weathercock.

The spacious interior looks like a neo-Gothic total work of art, the three-aisled hall is 21 meters high. The ribbed vaults are supported by eight free-standing and four columns in front. According to the liturgical reform of the Second Vatican Council , the celebration altar was set up in the center of the crossing , the pews were rearranged so that visitors could see the altar. Under each choir tower there is a side chapel, the paintings of which were painted over during the renovation in 1960 to make the room feel lighter.

The windows were made and installed in 1904 by the glass company Hertel & Lersch from Düsseldorf based on the architect's designs. The ornamental disks come from the Viktor von der Forst workshop in Münster. The windows in the nave and transept show the 14 stations of the cross , they are explained with German subtitles. The five three-lane choir windows with tracery glazing show a cycle for the glorification of Christ, the center of which is a monstrance with a host inside.

Rohling and the reliefs were created by B. Frydag.

Some preserved parts of the blast were inserted into an altar in the choir chapel. The former communion bench was cut up. Two of the parts serve as the end of the choir chapel.

organ

In 1947 the Klingenhengel company from Münster installed a new organ with 42 registers and an electronic register and game mechanism. After only twelve years, extensive repairs were necessary due to the inferior material in the post-war period. An organ expert ruled in 1976: Your organ can no longer be repaired. Allow me to compare it with a car that is scrapped and that cannot be made roadworthy again with new lamps or other individual parts. The organ was demolished and the contract for a new building was awarded to the Stockmann brothers' organ building company . At the end of 1978 the main and the swell mechanism and at the end of 1981 the pedal mechanism and the Rückpositiv were put into operation. The instrument has 46 stops, a mechanical action mechanism and an electrical stop action mechanism. A total of 3544 organ pipes were installed.
