St. Martin (Trochtelfingen)
St. Martin is the Roman Catholic Church in Trochtelfingen in the Reutlingen district of Baden-Württemberg .
history
The first Trochtelfingen church was built around 700 as a parish and baptismal church in the course of the Franconian mission ( original parish ) and was named after the imperial saint St. Martin . From a Romanesque building from the 12th century, the lower part of the tower still exists today.
From 1316 to 1534 Trochtelfingen was the residence of the Counts of Werdenberg , who made the church their burial place .
In the war of succession between Ludwig von Bayern and Friedrich von Habsburg , the town and church were destroyed in 1320. During the reconstruction under Heinrich von Werdenberg , a Gothic church was created, of which the choir and tower upper floor are still preserved today. In 1364 the ossuary (St. Michael's Chapel) was added on the south side.
In 1451 Eberhard von Werdenberg had today's late Gothic, single-nave nave built. From 1501 there was a collegiate foundation near St. Martin . In 1534 Trochtelfingen fell to the Counts of Fürstenberg by inheritance and remained Catholic during the Reformation . In 1806 the city came to Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen .
In 1823 the painted wooden ceiling of the nave was replaced by a barrel vault , which, together with further redesigns (“Vor-Chorjoch”), creates today's classicistic spatial impression.
In 1880 a neo-Gothic interior was added to the church, which was removed again during the redesign in 1962/63. During a renovation in 1931/32, the frescoes of the choir vault from the 14th century - Majestas Domini and Lamb of God with evangelist symbols , sun, moon and stars - and the side wall fresco of the Last Judgment from 1480 were discovered and exposed.
In 1981 the church received a new mechanical slider organ from the organ builder Stehle from Haigerloch-Bittelbronn with 23 registers on two manuals and a pedal. The neo-Gothic, two-part case of the previous organ was retained.
The most recent renovation of the church took place in 2002/2003, including the construction of a new altar.
