history
The church was built from 1769 to 1775 according to plans by the builder Friedrich Joachim Stengel and consecrated in 1775. There are around 1,000 seats. It is a simply structured, transverse hall structure , similar to the two Evangelical Churches in Grävenwiesbach, also built by Stengel, and the Church of Peace in Saarbrücken .
A Gothic tabernacle was added in the late 15th century. In the years 1506 and 1756 the building was rebuilt, an upper floor was added and a hooded roof was erected. Main portal in the gable-crowned central projection on the eastern broad side, the narrow sides with secondary portals. High arched windows, economical structure through corner blocks and surrounding beams.
On the back of the west wall is the choir tower of the Gothic church , which was built in the second half of the 13th century . In the reveals of the three tower windows wall paintings (" Christ on the Mount of Olives ", " Peter on the Heavenly Door ", " Coronation of Mary " on the north wall, " Lamentation of Christ ", " Journey to Hell ", " Noli me tangere " on the south wall) from 1420 have been preserved .
The church has a uniform interior from the time it was built. Kohl from Wiesbaden and Scholl from Otterbach are named as master carpenters . There are galleries on the entrance side and on the two narrow sides. The pulpit on the tower wall.
In the cemetery there is a tombstone from 1850 and a neo-Gothic stele from 1872.
organ
For the previous building, the organ builder Johannes Förle from Flonheim built a small organ between 1705 and 1708, which was sold to the Protestant Paulskirche in the neighboring community of Stadecken-Elsheim in advance of the construction of the new church and whose case has been preserved to this day. Their original disposition is given with eight registers. (Manual: Principal 4 ′, Großgedackt 8 ′, Kleingedackt 4 ′, Quint 3 ′, Octav 2 ′, Mixtur III 1 ′. Pedal: Subbass 16 ′, Octavbass 8 ′).
The construction of the new church had completely ruined the finances of the congregation, so that an organ was out of the question at first. The secularization of many Mainz churches during the French rule between 1797 and 1815 gave the opportunity to buy a used Mainz monastery organ. An organ by Philipp Ernst Wegmann from 1762 and the original organ parapet were acquired by the Welschnonnen Church in Mainz in 1805 . The organ in Mainz was originally designed for a much smaller church space and was accordingly intoned by Wegmann rather gently and reserved. As a result, its tone strength proved to be only partially suitable for its new location, the largest church in Rheinhessen. Numerous renovations in the 19th and 20th centuries were aimed at giving the organ more pitch and fullness of sound. During various stages, various organ builders gradually added the stops drone 16 ′, gamba 8 ′ and hollow flute 8 ′ to the main work, the three principal stops Octave 4 ′, fifth 3 ′ and Octave 2 ′ against the same stops with additional lengths and expressions exchanged and removed the original Krummhorn 8 ′ register. In the main plant, apart from the prospectus principal 8 ′ and parts of the mixture, Wegmann's entire pipework had been replaced. After the prospect pipes for war armor had to be surrendered in 1917 and there were unfortunately further losses of the original substance after 1950, the only original Wegmann register that remained in the substructure was the Duiflauthe 4 ′, which is a typical Wegmann organ register with double labeller . After the organ got into a precarious condition in the 1980s , the technical system of the playing and stop mechanisms as well as the playing system was reconstructed during the masterfully successful restoration, which was carried out in 1991 by Förster & Nicolaus Orgelbau , Lich. The consequent return to the original pedal range of only 15 tones (C – d °) was a step that could still be described as daring in 1991, since pedal extensions were still considered a common practice at the time. Eight registers were reconstructed based on the original Wegmann organs. In the main work these are: Principal 8 ′, Viol di gamba 8 ′, Mixtur VI 2 ′, Trompet 8 ′. In the substation, the registers Principal 4 ', Flageolet 2', Mixtur III 1 ', Vox humana 8' are new. However, the municipality's desire for a consistent and therefore complex technical reconstruction made it necessary to compromise when dealing with the existing inventory registers due to the financial situation: the remaining principal registers in the main work (Octave 4 ′, Quint 3 ′, Octave 2 ′) were made in 1883 and come from the Bernhard Brothers workshop , Gambach. The registers Flöth 4 ', Hohlflöth 8' (= Gedackt), Flaut travers 8 ', Subbass 16', Octavbass 8 'were retained as existing and grown, but unknown or not identifiable to an organ builder. An originally preserved bellows plate could be used again to reconstruct the original wedge bellows. The side organ has 18 registers on two manuals and a pedal . The tracker action are, according to the 18th century, purely mechanical.
