from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Parish Church of St. Martin

The Catholic parish church of St. Martin is a listed church building in Sendenhorst in the Warendorf district ( North Rhine-Westphalia ).

History and architecture

No documents have been received about the foundation of the parish , but the patronage of Martin von Tours points to a foundation in the 9th century. At this time, the Franks missioned the area after the conquest of Saxony.

The Romanesque predecessor church on a cross-shaped floor plan was badly damaged in the last city fire in 1806. Since the congregation had also grown significantly, the construction of the neo-Gothic brick church began in 1855 . The bricks were burned in a specially built brick factory. The construction of the building is based on the symbolism of numbers. The stately neo-Gothic hall was built from 1855 to 1865 based on designs by Vinzenz Statz . The west portal is in an openwork tracery tympanum , accompanied on the sides by the figures of Saints Liudger and Boniface. In the light, three-aisled hall, ribbed vaults rest on octagonal pillars with services. The hall is 45 meters long and 23 meters wide, the vaults are 17 meters high. The glowing choir windows were made in the early 1960s by the Benedictine nun Erentrud Trost , they are intended to illustrate the community of believers.

The church was consecrated on November 14, 1865 by Bishop Johann Georg Müller .

Towers

The soaring west tower stands on a square floor plan. It is structured by a rich blend of tracery . The bell storey is crowned with corner towers and an octagonal helmet. The choir side towers are also on a square floor plan, changing their shape on the upper floor to an octagonal floor plan.

Furnishing

The carved apostles date from the second half of the 17th century. In 1904 the Marian column was created on the church square by Heinrich Seelige. The bronze cross above the altar, like the baptismal font, was cast by Bernhard Kleinhans .

The bronze altar has the shape of a table, the tabletop shows twelve biblical scenes in relief. The reliquary grave with the relics of Saints Purpuratus and Calistus is set in the altar . Like the ambo, it was also made by B. Kleinhans. A chasuble with an embroidered staff was made in 1480.

The neo-Gothic baptismal font from 1870 is to the right of the chancel. It is adorned with a translucent crystal.

The original bell had to be delivered in the two world wars for armaments purposes. A new four-part chime was raised in 1950. The bells weigh 1450, 980, 670 and 600 kg and sound in c ′, es ′, f ′ and g ′.
