St. Marien (Friesoythe)
St. Marien in Friesoythe is the parish church of the Catholic parish of St. Marien Friesoythe, which belongs to the Friesoythe deanery of the diocese of Münster .
history
Friesoythe was originally a chapel community within the parish of Altenoythe with the parish church of St. Vitus . The Gothic chapel probably came from the end of the 14th century and was expanded and changed several times in the following centuries. 1619 took place the Abpfarrung , thereby the former chapel to the parish church. From 1885 to 1886 a church tower was built based on a design by Johann Bernhard Hensen . The current church building was built by Heinrich Flügel from 1908 to 1910 , whereby the tower was retained.
description
The neo-Gothic step hall was built from red brick . A wide transept gives the impression of a central building inside . The chorus is polygonal with a 7 / 10 -Schluss, western yoke with a five-eighth circuit . The central Vierungsjoch is equipped with star vaults , the other yokes with groin vaults .
The likewise neo-Gothic tower is not in the axis of the nave , but offset on the south side of the west yoke. It was not directly attached to the previous building, but separated and only connected by thin walls.
Furnishing
The oldest piece of equipment in the church is the triumphal cross from the first half of the 14th century, on the back of which there is a relief depicting the Annunciation .
The high altar , the pulpit of sandstone and two side altars are from Fritz Ewertz from the construction of the new church. Two further side altars were made by Heinrich Lobenberg in 1916 , and the upper part of a Gothic tabernacle from around 1430 was integrated into one.
Several figures of saints and the altarpiece depicting the Assumption of the Virgin Mary have been preserved from the late Baroque high altar of the previous building, which was made in 1738 by Thomas Simon Jöllemann . A Man of Sorrows and a Pietà also come from the workshop of Thomas Simon Jöllemann.
