St. Martin in Ochtendung
Foundation stone of the current church

The Catholic parish church St. Martin is a listed church building in Ochtendung , a local parish in the district of Mayen-Koblenz , Rhineland-Palatinate , in the diocese of Trier . The hall church was built from March 1957 to March 1958 according to the design of the architect Alfons Leitl from Trier / Rheydt. Characteristic for the building, which is based on the bell tower, is the 156 m² gable window facing west with a glass painting by Georg Meistermann . The originally preserved Romanesque bell tower dates from the 12th century. There is evidence that he has seen at least four church sites.

History of the parish

The beginnings of the church in Ochtendung are in the High Middle Ages . It was an independent parish as early as the 9th century. After the Franks (people) had given up the place as a temporary residence, Ochtendung came to Kurtrier in 1052 through a precarious contract (loan with the possibility of reclaim) between Archbishop Eberhard von Trier and Count Walram von Arlo .

In the following time, the place experienced great ecclesiastical importance: Up to 1802 the diocese of Trier was divided into five archdeaconates . Its headquarters were in Longuyon , Trier itself, Dietkirchen (Limburg an der Lahn) , Tholey / Saar and Karden on the Moselle , which is now in France . Karden as today's district of Treis-Karden was in turn divided into the regional chapters of Zell (Mosel) , Boppard and Ochtendung . Ochtendung, located between the Rhine and Moselle and easily accessible from all sides, grew into the largest district within the Archdeaconate of Karden. In 1330 a total of 61 and in 1794 a total of 72 parishes belonged to the Landkapitel Ochtendung : Alken, Allenz, Andernach, Bassenheim, Buchholz, Burgbrohl, Burgen, Kärlich, Kobern, Kottenheim, Kruft, Dieblich, Düngenheim, Eich, Ettringen, Gappenach, Gondorf, Güls, Gönnersdorf, Hambuch, Hatzenport, Hausen, Kaifenheim, Kaisersesch, Kehrig, Kettig, Kell, Kempenich, Kirchesch, Langenfeld, Lay, Löf, Lonnig, Mayen, Masburg, Mertloch, Metternich, Miesenheim, Monreal, Moselkern, Moselweiß, Münstermaifeld, Nachtsheim, Naunheim, Nickenich, Lehmen, Nieder- and Oberlützingen, Nieder- and Obermendig, Nieder- and Oberzissen, Oberfell, Ochtendung, Pillig, Plaidt, Polch, Retterath, Rieden, Rübenach, Saffig, St. Johann, St. Sebastian, Thür , Trimbs, Urmitz, Ürsfeld, Wanderath, Wehr, Weiler, Welcherath, Welling. The land chapter thus included parishes on the Lower Moselle (including Koblenz ), in the part of the Neuwied Basin on the left bank of the Rhine , on the Maifeld , in the Brohl valley and west of Mayen .

The head of a country chapter (also dean's office) was the dean . As the extended arm of the bishop and archdeacon , he had to meet all pastors twice a year to ascertain the faith and customs of both priests and believers. The meeting place in Ochtendung was the so-called Saalhof, demolished in 1957, used as a kindergarten until 1954, in the vicinity of which the building at Saalgangstrasse 8 and the renovated Zehnthofscheune (formerly Dr. D. Wagner's practice, now Wilbert's physio practice) are located.

The political and ecclesiastical order changed with Napoleon. The diocese of Trier was abolished, Ochtendung itself came to the canton of Polch, which in turn was subordinate to the French diocese of Aachen from 1802 to 1821 . But with the bull De salute animarum (1821) Ochtendung soon returned home to the newly formed diocese of Trier .

Research into the church buildings proves to be difficult because a devastating fire in 1734 destroyed a large part of the village, including the rectory with the parish archive. Secondary sources show: Archbishop Radbod von Trier established the deaneries in the Diocese of Trier in 906 . Ochtendung became the seat of a dean's office (see above). The patronage was given to Martin of Tours (St. Martin), a very frequently elected saint in the churches founded at that time. Ochtendung certainly had a church as its seat, and most likely already had a tower. The bell tower that still exists today was built in the 11th century. He experienced at least four places of worship at his side:

  • A church from the 11th century or from the time before - destroyed in the above-mentioned fire of 1734. Whether the church that burned down was actually the church from the High Middle Ages is in the dark. There may be one more that followed the one from the early days and then fell victim to the flames in the 18th century.
  • A church followed, built between 1769-71 . It was consecrated on November 9, 1775 by Bishop Clemens Wenzislaus. JP Kraft was the pastor at the time. To the spirit of the Enlightenment it was a relatively simple, sober structure, manageable in size.
Church building from 1851–1958
  • New fires raged in the village in 1809 and 1849. Then in 1851 an extension was built and extensive renovation work was carried out. The measures gave the church a new character. The consecration took place by Bishop Arnoldi on September 24th, 1851. Serious errors in the building construction and the consequences of the fires in the area caused considerable damage that urgently had to be repaired. However, the two world wars and the lack of financial opportunities did not allow any innovations.
  • It was not until 1958 that the current church came about. Pastor and Definitor Georg Scheid was responsible. Chaplain Karl Spangenberg stood by his side. In two weeks, from January 2nd to 18th, 1957, the old church was torn down and the new one built in the same place between March 1957 and March 1958. The rapid construction work was possible because numerous people from Ochtendung were involved. The whole place was in motion. In addition to the farmers, the entrepreneurs of the local pumice factories made their vehicles available for transport to and from the farm, bakeries, butchers and private individuals provided food and drinks. The planning was in the hands of the architect Alfons Leitl from Trier , later Rheydt , the construction management was in the hands of the Trier architect Klaus Frey. The shell construction was done by Philipp Holzmann AG, Frankfurt. Local companies took over the further handicraft work. The total cost of building the new church was DM 850,000. Added to this were the numerous donations in kind, transport services and free working hours from the population. On March 23, 1958 , the new parish church was consecrated by Trier Bishop Matthias Wehr . In 1987 renovation measures led to significant changes in the interior of the church. The reason was static improvements and a new perspective on the way in which the sacred liturgy was structured . The result: the pulpit and communion bench were removed, the altar table moved into the center of the sanctuary. Furthermore, the inner wall of the church was clinkered all around.

Ochtendung is the seat of the parish community Ochtendung-Kobern (-Gondorf) in the deanery Maifeld-Untermosel. The diocese of Trier is facing a serious structural reform in 2020. From the previous 840 parishes in the diocese, 35 parishes of the future (PdZ) are to be formed. Ochtendung is to become the seat of the parish Maifeld-Untermosel. The original organizational change on January 1, 2020 was postponed at short notice due to objections. The plans called "diocese reform", which should also and specifically change the role of pastors, were suspended after an examination by the Congregation for the Clergy and the Pontifical Council for the legal texts, as the diocese leadership was informed during a meeting in Rome on June 5th.

architecture

Government building officer Alfons Leitl gave the parish church of St. Martin the shape of an unequal octagon.

St. Martin, church in Ochtendung, floor plan, status 2019

It gives the impression of a ship with a bow, flanks, deck and hatches. Around the inner main room on the south side are the sacristy, the room for the altar servers, the Lady Chapel, the vestibule in the tower and the baptistery. On the opposite side is the Chapel of the Holy Helper with the Martinus altar and the memorial niche between two confessionals. The church is east.

Inside the church, the view falls on the 14 slim, octagonal reinforced concrete columns with a diameter of 0.60 m. They carry seven reinforced concrete girders and the associated visible crossbars. The roof lies over the girders, the ceiling hangs under the girders. The masonry is double-walled. The outer 50 cm thick wall consists of sawn and white jointed slate stones from the Mayen slate pits. The inner wall is a 12 cm thick pumice stone wall anchored to the outer wall with iron wire hooks. Since the fundamental renovation in 1987, the interior clinking has been added. It gives the interior warmth and tranquility at the same time. Due to the distance between the clinker and the wooden ceiling, the roof appears to float over the nave.

The dimensions of the parish church

  • Overall length outside: 45.50 m
  • Overall width outside: 35.10 m
  • Inside length of the church: 40.45 m
  • Width of the church inside (widest point): 25.20 m
  • Height of the church to the ridge: 20.00 m
  • Ground area of ​​the main room: 786.20 m² (1,247.75 m² including side rooms without tower)
  • Capacity main church: around 700 seats (total capacity: around 850 seats)

inner space

Interior of the St. Martin Church in Ochtendung

The following description is based on the sketch given under 'Architecture'.

High altar with tabernacle and altar cross

St. Martin, church in Ochtendung, high altar with tabernacle and altar cross.jpg
tabernacle

The canteen plate of the altar (3 m × 1 m × 0.25 m) and its supports with carved foliage are made of green marble, called Verde San Paolo. It comes from a fracture north of Lake Como , near the pilgrimage site of Torre di Santa Maria . The fillings between the altar supports as well as the tapering, tent-like tabernacle structure are made of white, slightly drawn and finely shaded crystalline marble. Its origin: Laas (South Tyrol) west of Merano .

Relics of Pope Pius X , the martyr Maria Goretti , the martyr Titus (Bible) , the priest Gregory III rest in the altar . (Porto) and Orosius , the bishops Paulinus of Trier and Modualdus as well as relics that were previously in the high altar of the old church. The tabernacle is characterized by rich symbols. The Px (= Greek P for Rho and x for Chi ) stands for the monogram of Christ and indicates the presence of Christ. At the intersection of the Px there is a large round rock crystal, symbolizing the host . It and the chalice underneath point to the present Eucharistic Christ. Little fish (standing for people) swim towards the host. The five rubies o.li. point to the five wounds and thus to the suffering and death of Jesus. In the center of the cross above the altar is the body of the crucified (as Christ the King ). All around are the twelve apostles and St. Stephen . All are represented in a standardized way in martyrdom.

sacristy

Sacristy - 'Maria at the Altar'

The sacristy of the priests and the acolytes are linked. From here you can also get to the outdoor facilities. Both rooms are decorated with glass windows. In the sacristy of the priests there is a window “Cum Maria ad altare” - with Mary at the altar, in the sacristy of the altar boy another shows a representation of the martyrdom of the young Tarzisius . The image is intended to express the acolytes' love and loyalty to the Eucharistic Savior.

The side chapels

Lady Chapel

Mosaic in the Lady Chapel

The Marienkapelle, a homage to the Blessed Mother Mary, is the largest of the side chapels and is separated from the main room by glass elements. In the center of the front wall there is a mosaic image of Our Lady of Schoenstatt ( Schoenstatt Movement ) " Mater Ter Admirabilis " - Mother three times wonderful. Also worth seeing are the seven glass windows on the outside with the motifs

  • Mary, Immaculate Conception
  • Mary kept free from all personal sin
  • Mary, everlasting virginity
  • Assumption Day
  • Mary, participation in the redemptive work of Christ
  • Mary, mediator of all graces through her intercession with God
  • Mary, mother and queen of men

The designs come from Rudi Schillings, Trier. The execution was the responsibility of the Binsfeld company, Trier.

Baptistery

Baptismal font

The baptistery is separated from the main room by a wrought iron door. The glass window shows baptized people of all races who, according to the early Christian baptism rite, descend into the baptismal font and then come up again as newborn children of God after being baptized. The baptismal font is original: baptismal water falls from an uncut basalt rock through a channel. During a baptism, the water is collected and the child is baptized over the round basalt basin in front of it.

Emergency Chapel

Martinus Chapel

It is popularly known as the Martinus Chapel or the Holy Chapel. The chapel is regarded as a silent prayer room for private prayer and the veneration of the saints. As the church is under the patronage of Martinus of Tours , a slate of slate has been placed on one side in memory of him with the motif 'Martin divides the coat'. There are also portraits of two churches, the previous church and the new, current church. 1851 indicates the year the old church was consecrated. She consisted, s. o., until 1957 - the year when the new church began to be built. The other number 1190 on the stone slab says: The parish of Ochtendung becomes part of the Trier cathedral chapter.

The front of the chapel as well as the statue of St. Joseph is designed as a mosaic . It shows the poor souls in purgatory . In the midst of a sea of ​​flames, people stretch their arms longingly for God. The statue in front of it "Mother three times wonderful ..." comes from the previous church, as does the statue of Sebastian (saint) .

Memorial niche

Boards in the memorial niche

Two memorial stones are placed in a niche next to the Martinus Chapel: They honor the services of - Dechant G. Scheid, the knowledgeable and prudent builder of the church and - Chaplain H. Zender, a popular youth chaplain who was still in Ochtendung at the age of Died 26 years ago.

Meistermann stained glass window

Meistermann window - interior view

The Meistermann glass window (made by Derix in Kaiserswerth) is characteristic of the church. Georg Meistermann (1911–1990) is considered the leading glass painter of the 20th century. With the theme of 'bringing the world home to God', he designed an oversized facade window inserted in reinforced concrete tracery above the entrance area. It measures a total of 156 m² (pure glass surface 120 m²), has 38 full fields and 20 half fields and, facing west, creates a special effect when the light falls in the evening. Meistermann designed abstract and symbolic and leaves room for interpretation. He created

  • God in the three symbols of the eye (God the Father), the cross (God the Son) and the dove (God the Holy Spirit). Humanity should return to the Triune God.
  • Only a few signs indicate the angel Gabriel, because he is a pure spirit being: The circling wave of wings, an eye (symbol of the spiritual power of knowledge) and his commanding hand (symbol of the spiritual will and action).

Mary is represented figuratively and figuratively, kneeling, almost floating and sinking into the mighty mystery of the Annunciation. The window can also be seen as a glimpse of Divine Providence. It encompasses all of God's concern for bringing mankind home into divine communion.

With the harmonious interplay of color, light, movement and abstraction, Meistermann skilfully pulls out all the stops in glass painting. With the facade window, the church has a work of art of the highest order. The work is described again and again in numerous art guides. More detailed versions are u. a. read in the brochure by Pastor Scheid, G., Guide through the parish church in Ochtendung, Trier 1959

A true story:

In connection with the Meistermann glass window there was an extremely amusing incident on September 12, 1958. On this day, the then Federal President Theodor Heuss was on the way to the maneuver "Building bridges", which was held in the area of ​​the Vordereifel, with the Rhineland-Palatinate Prime Minister Altmeier, the Inspector General of the Bundeswehr and other important military personnel. More on this Hanna Frielinghaus-Heuss, niece of Theodor Heuss, in her book 'Heuss Anekdoten': “The Federal President and the accompanying generals drove through a village (Ochtendung, the author) in which he noticed a new church with wonderful stained glass . He thought it was a work by Meistermann. Heuss stopped the whole convoy. The pastor had to be called in, and he looked extensively and with delighted pleasure at the work actually by Meistermann. The high-ranking officers, nervous because they saw the military punctuality at risk for the rest of the proceedings, stepped on their heels. It is good, noted Heuss, half apologetically, if the Bundeswehr learns even more of the culture! ”The event was also recorded in the magazine 'Die Welt'. Her time-critical observer Amadeus put it with a lovable, funny-cunning wink: “Dear Theo Heuss, you recently built a new bridge to your people as a maneuver guest, so to speak. - In the military machine, you looked at a church calmly and with love and disregarded the whole war. - Many a general froze when you said to the compatriots while you were walking: “Well, you guys, well win!” - Amadeus thanks his high old man from afar, who runs his country so kindly that he doesn't think in lockstep. "

Based on the suggestion of a fellow Christian, the parish council decided in September 2019 to illuminate the large Meistermann church window of the Ochtendung parish church St. Martin, which is designated as a work of art, from the inside when it is dark, so that the work of art can also be seen and admired from the outside in the dark. Since the window is illuminated in the dark until midnight with 2 LED spotlights and 30 watts of power each, the costs of approx. € 40 / year are relatively low and reasonable.

organ

When the church was built in 1958, it also got a new organ. It was the work Opus 1157 from the Johannes Klais Orgelbau company in Bonn. After the organ was initially planned with 30 registers, it initially only received 15 registers, distributed over three manuals including pedal. The swell (3rd manual) had the registers Viola di Gamba 8 ', Holzgedackt 8', Koppelflöte 4 ', Principal 2' Siffflute 1 1/3, Scharff 4-fold and Schalmey 8 '. In 1963, eight further registers were added to the seven. The main work (2nd manual) consisted of eight registers: Gedaktpommer 16 ', Prinzipal 8', Rohrflöte 8 ', Spitzflöte 4', fifth 2 2/3, octave 2 ', mixture 4-6, trumpet 8'. The foot pedal did not have its own register, but could be coupled or switched with the Gedaktpommer 16 'from the 2nd manual. Further additions were to follow successively on a pedestal on the opposite wall of the organ. In the course of time, however, one came to terms with the given situation. No additions were made and the pedestal was dismantled in 1987 as part of the major renovation of the church. Financial considerations played an essential role, which is why the organ was not continuously maintained. The result: the condition of the organ deteriorated noticeably. She got into a desperate state. On November 18, 2011, the Friends of Ochtendung Church Organ was formed. The foundation had consequences:

  • 11.12.2013: Tender for organ renovation with one expansion stage
  • May 8, 2014: Award of the organ renovation with an expansion stage to the company Hugo Mayer, Orgelbau GmbH from Heusweiler 1, Saarland
  • 08/18/2014: Start of renovation and expansion work

Among other things, the measures were carried out:

Organ manual
  • Assignment of a separate register Subbass 16 'to the foot pedal
  • Installation of a new register "Octave 4" 'in the main work (2nd manual)
  • Switching a sub-octave coupler from Manual III to Manual II
  • Coupling from Manual II to Manual I.
  • Establishment of the first manual as a coupling manual
Sub-coupling: from Manual III to Manual I
Super coupling: from Manual III to Manual I.
Sub-coupling: from Manual II to Manual I
Super coupling: from Manual II to Manual I.
  • Installation of a larger fan
Organ pipes
  • November 3rd, 2014: Acceptance of the renovated organ by the organ expert of the Trier diocese, Mr. Bernd Kämpf
  • November 8th, 2014: Inauguration of the organ by Mr. Domkapitular a. D. Herrmann Engel, organist: Dean Thomas Oster

The measures paid off. Today the organ sounds varied, fully organic. It is presented in the best condition.

Organ data:

Height: 6.50 m
Width: 4.00 m
Depth: 1.65 m
Weight: about 3 tons
Longest pipe: 2.80 m
Smallest pipe: 184 mm (4 mm body / 180 mm foot)
Organ pipes (number): 1280
Movements: 3 manuals (1 movement not built), 1 pedal
Registers (number): 16 (13 registers with 56 pipes, 2 registers with 4-6 pipes and the sub-bass register with 30 pipes)

Way of the Cross

Motif image from the Way of the Cross

There are 14 stations of the cross on the inner walls of the church. Like the crib figures, the three-dimensional, relief-like and around 70 cm high representations are made of fired clay. It was created by Helmut Bourger (1929–1989), sculptor from Höhr-Grenzhausen . Here is an example of station 7: "Jesus falls for the second time under the cross."

Colorful round windows

Round window

There are 35 small porthole-like stained-glass windows horizontally under the ceiling and vertically in the chancel. They decorate the room of the church like a pearl necklace and shine particularly beautifully in the dark outside when the church is illuminated inside. The design comes from Hans Dornoff, Trier, the execution was in charge of the Binsfeld company in Trier.

Motif panels in the floor

The visitor to the church moves in the corridors on concrete slabs with pressed and polished marble fragments. 56 marble mosaic symbol plates are inserted. They admonish that at work, in our free time and in the family we should always work in the spirit of Christ and deepen our fellowship with him. The motifs of the symbols are chosen to be comprehensive. So we find u. a .:

  • the coat of arms of Ochtendung for home
  • the four elements air (birds), earth (snails), fire (flame), water (fish) for matter
  • the seasons spring (cherry blossoms), summer (sunflowers), autumn (fruits) and winter (ice crystals) for God is Lord of all times
  • Crafts and professions for duties in everyday life and others for the arts and sciences.

tower

St. Martin church tower

The old Romanesque church tower saw at least four church structures. It dates from the 11th century. Its total height is 37.40 m. The massive tower rises above a square floor plan, side length 6.53 m, and a wall thickness of 1.56 m. Towards the top it becomes a little slimmer. In the lower part there are loopholes . They provide light inside and also served to repel possible attackers. Halfway up the wall openings to the west and south are two clocks. They set the pace - especially in earlier times - when work is started, finished and lunch is eaten. The ledge above the clocks marks the area in which the bell chamber is located. The current four steel bells were cast in Bochum in 1952 and attached in 1953. They resound in the tones: as (Martin's bell), f (Christ the King's bell), es (Mary's bell) and c (Trinity bell). While the bells were set in motion by ropes until 1953, this is done today by electric motors.

The stepped pyramid roof consists of four trapezoids at the bottom and four triangles above. The ball, cross and weather valve conclude. The tower ball symbolizes the earth, the cross the covenant between the earthly and the heavenly and the rooster the divine bringer of light. The roof and top together measure 15.20 m. A comprehensive renovation of the bell suspension brought the year 2018. Among other things, the steel yokes of the bell suspensions were replaced with solid wood individual yokes. The largest of the 4 bells now hangs on an oak beam measuring 32 × 32 cm. Furthermore, the bells received new, soft forged clappers, which are stored in leather and provided with bronze buffers and treat the bells more gently in the long term. The ringing machines and the ringing wheels as well as the hammer for striking the hour are also new. In addition, the bell cage was separated from the tower so that vibrations when the bell is rung are no longer transmitted to the masonry. All of the measures resulted in the bells not sounding as hard and as loud as before and now the result is a full, warmer and better developing sound. The work, carried out by the company Perrot (Calw / Southern Black Forest), cost approx. € 60,000, whereby the diocese financed € 26,000, the remainder had to be contributed by the parish of St. Martin.

St. George Memorial

St. George Memorial

There is a war memorial next to the church at the staircase. It shows St. George slaying the dragon, defeating evil. With the memorial and a plaque in the background, the Ochtendunger commemorate their 106 soldiers who lost their lives in World War I. The memorial is remembered by associations / years of their deceased over and over again during the annual cycle (mostly after church services).

Addition: On the Sunday of the Dead, the Ochtendunger gather in the cemetery to commemorate all those who died in the wars. A plaque in the cemetery chapel lists the victims of the First and Second World Wars as well as the victims of Nazi terror. There is also a separate war memorial in the cemetery for those who died in all campaigns in the 19th century.

Parish

The functionally furnished parish and community center is located in the former Marien Hospital about 200 m to the north from the church. It includes the parish office, a parish hall, an apartment for the pastor, a one-world shop, the parish library, youth rooms and other rooms for events.

church choir

The church choir "Cäcilia" celebrated its 250th anniversary in 2019. With over 50 active members and an additional 25 active members in the “Young Voices” choir, the Ochtendung church choir is one of the largest choirs in town and on the Maifeld.
