The Church of St. Mary is a Roman Catholic parish church in Saarland Ensdorf , district Saarlouis . It is consecrated to Mary , the mother of Jesus. In the list of monuments of the Saarland, the church is a single monument listed.

history

The church was built between 1863 and 1868 according to plans by the architect Alexander Franz Himpler . On January 19, 1868 the church was consecrated. In 1935 the church building was expanded, for which the architects Ludwig Becker and Anton Falkowski ( Mainz ) were responsible. After the Second World War , reconstruction, restoration , conversion and expansion measures were carried out between 1948 and 1955 . In the course of these measures, the choir room was redesigned and the gallery expanded. Furthermore, the tower was rebuilt according to plans by the architect Kurt Baldauf ( Dillingen ). In 2010 the tower underwent a restoration.

architecture

The church building was built in the neo-Romanesque style. The basic architectural form of the church building is a basilica with a cross-shaped floor plan . The nave , divided into a central nave and two side aisles, is divided into three bays . A transept adjoins the nave and the choir.

The copper reliefs on the main portal come from Oswald Hiery (Ensdorf).

Bells

During the German-Danish War , on May 10, 1864, a petition was sent to the Prussian King Wilhelm I , asking for two bronze Danish cannons for two bells or for a gift of grace. Both the cannons, since they were cast into guns , and the gift of grace were not approved, so that bells for the new church had to be procured in the usual way. The Mabilon bell foundry commissioned two bells that arrived at Ensdorf train station on July 11, 1867. The larger of the two bells (Marienglocke) had the tone f sharp, the other (Josefsglocke) had the tone b. The inauguration of the bells took place on August 4, 1867 and on August 6, 1867 the bells were fixed in the tower. The church received its third bell between 1883 and 1885 in connection with the procurement of a tower clock . During the First World War , all three bells were confiscated . In 1920 new bells were purchased and inaugurated, but they were also confiscated in 1941 during the Second World War.


After the Second World War, it took until 1953 before new bells could be purchased. In 1953, the Saarlouiser bell foundry in Saarlouis-Fraulautern, which had been founded by Karl (III) Otto from the Otto bell foundry in Bremen-Hemelingen and Alois Riewer from Saarland in 1953, cast five bronze bells for the church in Ensdorf with the strike tone row: c ′ - e ′ - g ′ - a ′ - c ″, so the corresponding file of the Saarlouis foundry. On the fourth Sunday in Advent 1953 the ringing , consisting of five bells, was consecrated. The new bell has the tone sequence of, f, a flat, b, des and thus reproduces the Salve Regina motif . The names of the bells are as follows:
