history

Foundation and emergency church

On July 1, 1917, the Kaplankuratie St. Martin was established. The emergency church was consecrated on September 16. On May 1, 1922, St. Martin was elevated to a parish. On May 10, 1926, the church administration decided to build an entire parish complex. This included the plan to build a church, rectory, parish hall with youth home, kindergarten and nursing ward. The parsonage was completed on November 16, 1927, the parish hall on May 22, 1928. After the completion of the Martinskirche, the emergency church was demolished and rebuilt in the Schniegling district of Nuremberg for the parish of St. Konrad. There it was finally destroyed in an air raid in February 1944.

Church construction until today

The Viennese architect Clemens Holzmeister won an architectural competition of the German Society for Christian Art with a construction in the style of a neo-Romanesque fortified church. For cost reasons, Rolf Behringer was commissioned to plan a smaller version of the Holzmeister design. The church was completed in 1934 and consecrated on September 22, 1935. After being destroyed in the night of August 10th to 11th, 1943 during World War II , the Martinskirche was rebuilt in 1948 according to the plan by Rolf Behringer and consecrated on August 29th. In 1980/81 the interior was redesigned. Among other things, the altar was supplemented with a picture by Oskar Koller . In 2010 the interior was completely modernized.

organ

Kuhn organ

In 1985 the St. Martin Organ Building Association was founded to replace the old organ made by the Hindelang brothers from the Allgäu . The company Orgelbau Kuhn from Männedorf in Switzerland was won over for. This built a stately instrument with a total of 46 stops on three manuals and a pedal with mechanical performance and electrical stop action . This organ is used, among other things, as the venue for the International Organ Week in Nuremberg and as the venue for the church music days of the Catholic City Church in Nuremberg.
