St. Marien (Oederan)
The Protestant Church of St. Mary is a stately late Gothic church in Oederan in the district of Central Saxony . It belongs to the parish of Oederan in the Marienberg church district of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Saxony and dominates the cityscape of Oederan. Not least, it is known for its Gottfried Silbermann organ , which was later given a neo-Gothic case .
History and architecture
The building, planned as a three-aisled hall church with retracted buttresses (similar to Freiberg Cathedral ), was probably designed with a flat roof because of the large span. The church was built in the late 15th century using parts of the previous building damaged by fire in 1467. A renovation took place in 1709, the tower was completed in 1725. A radical neo-Gothic redesign of the exterior and interior took place in 1890–1892 under the direction of Christian Gottfried Schramm. Further restorations were carried out on the interior in 1968 and on the exterior since 1990.
The church is a plastered quarry stone building with distinctive porphyry structures and an elongated, strongly indented choir with three-eighth end and buttresses. The sacristy is located on the north side of the choir and the baptistery on the south side. The monumental transverse rectangular west building probably dates back to the 13th century, the upper tiered closure was completed in 1725. The church has simple tracery windows, the entrance portal with crab-studded keel arch and cross is marked with the year 1891.
The wide interior with a flat coffered ceiling and cove is characterized by the dark neo-Gothic wood furnishings of the 19th century. The ceiling and the galleries are painted with tendrils of flowers and leaves. The massive galleries on three sides between the partially retracted buttresses were covered by the wooden fixtures from the 19th century. In the western corners of the nave there are stair turrets, the southern one is connected to a small reticulated porch. A high arch leads to the choir with a reticulated vault. The sacristy is also provided with a reticulated vault. On the north side is the councilor and court box, on the south side the box of the manor owners of Schönberg and Börnichen. The coat of arms of the later owner Hohenthal von Püchau is arranged above the box. The frames are decorated with crab-studded keel arches and finial .
Furnishing
The neo-Gothic carved altar and the polygonal pulpit were designed by Carl Förster from Leipzig. The stained glass in the apex of the choir with the resurrection of Christ was made by Bruno Urban, Dresden in 1891. From the old furnishings, a baroque painting of the earlier altar with the representation of the Resurrection from the 2nd half of the 17th century and the organ have been preserved. A Romanesque font made of porphyry with corner leaves probably dates from the 13th century. Another, baroque font depicting the baptism of Christ was previously painted in color and was donated by Friedrich von Schönberg in 1721. A life-size crucifix has been preserved from the second half of the 17th century. Pastors' pictures from the 18th century and sandstone grave monuments from the 17th and 18th centuries (including some figurative ones) have been preserved. Also to be emphasized are the pastor's grave stones with life-size depiction in flat relief of Paulus Odontius († 1605) with Latin inscription, Michael Koch († 1631) and Jacob Daniel Starck († 1688).
organ
The organ is a work by Gottfried Silbermann from 1727 with originally 24, now 25 stops on two manuals and pedal . During the neo-Gothic redesign of the church interior in 1890/1892, the organ received a new case from the cabinet-making workshop Ernst Weißbach, Dresden. At the same time, the Jehmlich brothers , Dresden, exchanged two registers, and in 1902/1903 they created the then contemporary concert pitch . In 1937 the Hermann Eule company, Bautzen , reinstalled the exchanged registers, but added an 8 ′ dulz flute in 1941 . Further restorations by the Eule company followed in 1968 and 1992/1993. In addition to the original disposition, the organ currently has an additional tremulant for the upper work and, since 1997, a Vox humana 8 ′ in the main work by Christian Reinhold, Bernstadt . The disposition is:
