history

The church was built between 1864 and 1866 according to plans by the architect Carl Friedrich Müller . The church building suffered severe damage in the Second World War . The church underwent restorations in the 1970s and 1980s . In 2000 there was severe fire damage inside, caused by children playing. As a result, an interior restoration took place in 2001, which was led by the architect Franz-Josef Warken ( Riegelsberg ).

Architecture and equipment

The church building was built in the neo-Gothic style. It is a three-aisled hall church .

In the chancel of the church there is a 5.10 m wide relief of life-size figures , created in 1931, depicting the Last Supper . It was created by the wood sculptor Ernst Hoffmann ( Sulzbach / Saar ) and the art workshop Johannes Mettler ( Morbach ) and was originally part of the high altar , of which only the lower part with the sacrament group is preserved today due to the liturgical reform of the Second Vatican Council . The high altar was designed in 1931 by the architects Ludwig Becker and Anton Falkowski ( Mainz ). The art workshop Johannes Mettler also created 2 confessionals and 81 pews out of oak in 1932 . Some of the pews were destroyed by the war, but about 114 carved relief portraits of saints have been preserved on the bench cheeks . The 20 stained glass windows from 1957 are the work of Jacques le Chevalier ( Fontenay-aux-Roses ).

Further items of equipment are a bronze hanging cross "Tree of Life" from 1979 and the window "Maria fights the dragon" from 2005 by the painter and sculptor Ernst Alt (Saarbrücken) made by Die Kunstglaser GbR (Rottweil ), as well as a 65 cm high Pietà from the 14th century, which was let into the walls behind armored glass and was originally located in another church, of which only the so-called "old tower" remains.

Also of note is the large-format painting “St. Barbara appears to an accidental miner ”by the painter and poet August Jacob Theodor von Heyden ( Berlin ), who was awarded the gold medal of the Paris Academy of Art for this picture in 1863.

Above the entrance portal there is a brightly painted statue of the Virgin Mary , which is framed by two triangular gables crowned with finials and which was restored in 2004.

organ

Mayer organ

The organ of the church was built in 1954 by Hugo Mayer Orgelbau ( Saarbrücken-Brebach ) on behalf of EF Walcker ( Ludwigsburg ) as their opus 3019. The organ consecration took place on January 31, 1954. The organ received the former console of the Klais organ from the Christkönig Church ( St. Arnual ), which had been replaced there in 1953 by today's four-manual. In 1980 the organ was renovated and cleaned by Hugo Mayer Orgelbau ( Heusweiler ). The instrument, which is set up on a gallery and has a free-standing console, has 36 registers , divided into 3 manuals and pedal , as well as electro-pneumatic cone chests . The case is a free pipe prospect.
