history

Beginning time until 1215

The church south of today's Leisnig Castle was the church of Burgwarde Leisnig, Polkenberg and Colditz, the district comprised around 60 villages. The Burgward Leisnig had changed hands several times (before 1046 Ekkehardinger , 1046 Empress Agnes , 1084 Wiprecht ), but came back to the Reich in 1158, the church became the royal church, which follows from the imperial approval required for the transfer to the Buch monastery. The time when the church was built and equipped is unknown. In any case, around 1190 the district comprised the Burgraviate Leisnig and the eastern part of the Colditz rule.

1192 took place between Emperor Heinrich VI. and the burgrave Heinrich von Leisnig exchanged the parish of Leisnig for an own church of the burgrave. The parish was awarded to the Buch monastery when it became vacant. At that time Otto von Lobdeburg was the owner of the parish. With his election as Bishop of Würzburg (1207) he would have had to give up this pastorate. In 1214, however, Dietrich, provost of the Meissen cathedral chapter, was the owner of the parish. Bönhoff (1908) sees in this Dietrich the former Meißner Bishop Dietrich von Kittlitz. The maior praepositus mentioned in 1214 is more likely . As the owner of the parish ( parrochianus eiusdem ), he had reserved parts of the furnishings. After it became vacant in 1207, the diocese retained the parish. These reserved parts should now belong to the pastor himself (and not the monastery). In 1214 the church in Leisnig included the Martinskapelle on the castle, the ecclesia St. Pankratii (in Tragnitz ), the Nikolaikapelle in the new town (today Altleisnig ) and the chapels in Sitten , Seifersdorf , Zschirla , Collmen and Polkenberg .

The first time under the patronage of the monastery Buch 1215–1354

In 1215, the Bishop of Meissen took the Buch monastery and his property under his protection, including the church in Leisnig. It is consecrated to the apostle and evangelist Matthew , the patronage is explicitly mentioned in 1217, 1225, 1265 and 1268. The St. Matthew patronage is very rare in old churches in Saxony. The relics of the saint were brought to Salerno in 1085 under Pope Gregory VII . Before then, the Church is less likely to be organized.

1213 to 1215 a Heydenricus sacerdos de Liznich is mentioned as a witness , 1217 a Heydenricus, plebanus de Lisnik 1225 a Gerbotus , around 1260 a Vlricus, plebanus de Liznich .

Before 1266 the chapels in Zschirla and Collmen became independent, their own pastors were named and their furnishings were provided. Witnesses are the pastors of Gersdorf , Zschirla, Collmen, Leipnitz , Wendishain and Zschoppach . The parish of the Matthai Church dissolved. In 1268, the widow of Tammo de Maruz founded a church in Börtewitz . The Matthäi Church was compensated. The founder and her sons received the patronage.

In 1286, Bishop Withego von Meißen confirmed an agreement between the pastors of Leisnig and Altleisnig. The church of St. Matthäi became the church of the new town in front of the castle, the Nikolaikirche in the old town of Leisnig received the villages north of the Mulde (Börtewitz and Naundorf) belonging to the Matthäi church. Instructions were also given in the event that the relocation of the city was reversed. A papal certificate of indulgence from 1286 and another from 1289 suggest that the lower floors of the tower could have been built during this time.

In 1306 the pastor of Leisnig was first referred to by the Bishop of Meissen as archipresbiter , i.e. archpriest, owner of a sedes . Altleisnig , Bockelwitz , Dürrweitzschen , Gersdorf , Hartha , Leipnitz , Reinsdorf , Schönerstädt , Sitten , Tragnitz and Wendishain belonged to this archpriest's chair . In 1308 the pastor Heinrich von Leisnig donated 20 marks of pure silver for a daily early mass in the church of St. Matthäi, supported by the provisores of the church, the burgrave and other good people, with the consent of the abbot von Buch as patron saint. The foundation money was used to buy income in Gorschmitz and Doberquitz to maintain a chaplain. In documents up to 1356 a pastor Heinrich appears as a witness, from 1359 to 1371 a pastor Johannes.

In 1354, Bishop Johannes von Meißen incorporated the Leisnig Parish into the Buch monastery. This gave the abbot the right to appoint a priest-monk from his monastery as pastor in Leisnig. This had to be presented to the responsible archdeacon von Wurzen and he was subordinate to this archdeacon with all the duties of a pastor during his term of office.

The time of incorporation 1354–1520

In 1363 Siegfried von Börtewitz and his son donated 8 groschen annual interest for the improvement of the Stillins candle in front of the St. Matthew altar, transferred by Bgf. Heinrich von Leisnig. In 1366, Margrave Wilhelm received a prescription for the church and bridge in Leisnig. In 1371, the mayor and council of Leisnig reached an agreement with the pastor of Leisnig ( Johannes von Wyczen ) and the abbot of Buch monastery on the newly established perpetual mass at the cross altar. In 1373 the Margraves Friedrich , Balthasar and Wilhelm confirmed a purchase of interest in Doberquitz by the council of the city of Leisnig from Nicol von Staupitz for the cross altar.

In 1379 the Buch monastery received from Cardinal Pileus , legate of the Pope in Germany, a confirmation of the incorporation of the Leisnig and Belgern churches, which Bishop Nikolaus von Meißen had probably refused, the reasons remain anonymous. In 1388 Pope Urban VI ordered the incorporation to the Bishop of Meissen, which the Bishop then followed.

In 1388, the pastor Frowinus felt compelled to give away fields belonging to the church in front of the Obertor Leisnig as inheritance because they were too badly affected by traffic. Various citizens of Leisnig were named whose fields were adjacent to the church fields (Gunther Faber, Melchior Hannus, Nicolaus Ruffus). Houses were allowed to be built on part of the fields. Later it was probably converted into gardens. On the city map of Kamprad (1753) 119 parish gardens are named, located between the Obertor and the cemetery.

In 1395 it was confirmed to the abbot of Buch monastery that he had paid the annates for frater Nicolai, plebanus in Lysenik , so a monk of the monastery had been appointed pastor.

In 1397, Bishop Johannes von Meißen confirmed the altar of ten thousand knights and eleven thousand virgins, at the same time corporis Christi , in the parish church in Leisnig. Donors were Johannes Bunzel and Johannes Nuendorf, citizens of Leisnig, to whom the collature of this altar was given. In 1405 Margrave Wilhelm gave the former farmyard of the burgrave near the church to his secretary Nebelthau, after his death the property passed to the church as the pastor's apartment.

In 1419 a trial took place before the Roman Curia for the occupation of the Parish Leisnig. Had complained Johannis de Jockerim against fraternisation Benedictus , the abbot of the monastery was used as the competent patronage Lord. From whom this John had the assignment and by whom he was installed remains anonymous. After several negotiations, the lawsuit was dismissed. Johannes von Jockrim had to pay the fees for the negotiations of 20 guilders.

In 1439 the council of Leisnig had sold interest income to Johann Wortczn, thumherre zcu Aldenburgk , former pastor in Leisnig, who donated it to a Salve Regina . The council had to pay the pastor, the altarist and the schoolmaster this interest for the execution.

In 1441 the Council of Basel confirmed the incorporation of the Parish Leisnig into the Buch monastery. Here, too, it can be assumed that the Bishop of Meißen probably refused them.

Between 1460 and 1484 the church of St. Matthäi was built in its present form. There is no record of any involvement by the Buch monastery. In 1460 the altar Mariae Conceptionis was donated by the council, in 1466 the altar of the Kalandsbrüder Mariae Annunciationis , together with the consecration of the chapel of the Kalandbruderschaft on the south side of the church. There is a certificate of indulgence from 1468 for another altar of the Brotherhood of the Calendar (Maria, Nikolaus, Erasmus, Barbara, Dorothea).

In 1496 the pastor D. Matthäus Möse, frater and later abbot of the monastery, equipped a new altar of the church of St. Matthäi on the basis of a donation of 700 florins by Sebastian Schumann, pastor in Zschoppach. With the foundation money he bought von Nickel von Kötteritzsch Zinse, mainly in Brösen, Altleisnig, Fischendorf, Wendishain and Minkwitz. The altar received its own chaplain with the obligation to read five specific masses there every week. The altar was consecrated to Mariae doloris & compassionis , of Mary's Sorrows and Compassion . In 1499 the new altar was confirmed by the Bishop of Meißen with the stipulation that he had to pay five marks for the subsidium biennale , a two-year fee to the bishop, as well as other fees to be paid by clergymen.

According to the Meißen diocese register, the Church of St. Matthäi zu Leisnig had an annual income of 12 marks, plus the altars Bartholomäus alias primae Missae 1 mark, Corporis Christi (at the same time ten thousand knights and eleven thousand virgins) 2 marks, Crucis 2 marks, Conceptionis Marie 1 mark , Annunciationis Marie alias Calendarum 1 Mark and Compassionis beate virginis 4 Mark, plus Martini in castro 2 Mark. This income formed the basis for the taxes paid to the Bishop of Meissen.

At the request of Pastor Gregorius Sartoris (Schneider), a letter of indulgence for the cross altar was issued in 1500. In 1506 the altarist of the cross altar, Gregor Schneider, gave the Kalandsbruderschaft 60 florins for a piece of equipment. In 1515 Valten Hondorf was named as pastor, in 1521 Heinrich Kind.

After the Reformation

The Leisniger congregation had elected Heinrich Kind and Johann Gruner as pastors in 1522 and wanted to secure their salary through a common box, into which all proceeds of the goods of the church should go. She asked Luther for a justification from the Bible, since both were against the rights of the monastery. After Luther's visit in 1522, the Leisniger caste order appeared in 1523 with a foreword by Luther. Ten community representatives were elected caste chiefs to oversee income and expenditure. A dispute arose over the four altar loans (with accessories), which were at the disposal of the council, but which did not want to cede the disposal. Another visit by Luther and letters from the elector could not end the dispute, so that the pastors' salaries remained poor.

When naming the pastors in Leisnig, you will have to rely on Kamprad and his knowledge from the box bills. In 1529 the first visitation was made by a commission of the elector. Wolfgang Fueß was installed as the first superintendent in Leisnig, the former farm yard of the burgrave became his seat. Dominicus Beyer was confirmed as deacon, Heinrich Kind was retired. The congregation was given the right to elect the pastor in the subsequent presentation to the elector. The altar loan corporis Christi with house and 32 fl. 26 gr. Remained with Gregor Kuntz for life. The altar loan Mariae Conceptionis with house and 21 fl., Previously with Bartholomäus Kirsten, now with Heinrich Kind with 20 fl. Pension, Kirsten received the parish Altleisnig. Further altar loans were at the altar Mariae Annuntiationis (house with garden and wood with 16 fl. 16 g. And 1 pound of wax) and at the altar Crucis (11 fl.). The income provided for the pastor was 109 fl., For the deacon 50 fl., For the schoolmaster 31 fl. With a later increase of 9 fl., And for the sexton 14 fl.

In 1530 two pillars of the bridge in Fischendorf were repaired, and church treasures were sold without the knowledge of the elector. Since the other pillars also needed to be improved, the sale should continue for financing, but be careful to avoid rumors. Buyers of the chasubles and shawls were u. a. the pastor (no name), Dominikus Beyer, the schoolmaster Michel Mebes, the preacher Johann Schlick, the caste chief Michael Braun.

In 1533 a dispute between Fabian von Auerswald and Wolfgang Fueß had to be settled over the fief of the Gorschmitz Vorwerk, which belonged to the Buch monastery. The von Auerswalde did not want to take his fiefdom from a pastor.

The second visitation took place in 1534. The pastor Lauterbach (since 1532, recommended by Luther) was praised. After friction between the pastors, Lauterbach went to Wittenberg in 1536. In 1539 Fuss became superintendent in Chemnitz. The further sequence can be found in Kamprad (1753) (Chapter XIV.).

In 1629 Wilhelm Dilich drew a view of Leisnig for the decoration of the giant hall in Dresden Castle, on which the first reliable representation of the church can be found.

In 1637 the church and superintendent burnt down with the whole city, only the shell remained. The roof was repaired in 1639 by Peter Gerngroß from Geringswalde. The reconstruction was completed in 1646, but the tower was not completed until 1695. The new baptismal font was donated in 1638 by the magistrate Johann Valentin Braun and made by Valentin Otte. In 1648 the superintendent was also completed, in 1649 a new organ by Tobias Weller was installed, an astonishing achievement all in all, especially since the Swedish crew was still in Saxony. In 1663/1664 the altar was built by Valentin Otte and Johann Richter from Meißen (for 400 thalers).

In 1753 the following villages were parish off to Leisnig after Kamprad: Brösen, Gorschmitz with manor, Gut Hasenberg, Meinitz, Minkwitz, Neudörfchen, Röda, Tautendorf, Liebchens-, Kirsten- and Schanzenmühle. Country parishes assigned to Leisnig were Altenhof with Buch, Altleisnig with Tragnitz, Bockelwitz with Börtewitz, Gersdorf with Seifersdorf, Hochweitzschen, Sitten, Wendishain with Nauhain.

In 1810 a lightning rod was installed for 172 thalers after the tower was hit in 1807.

In 1845 the first plans to rebuild the church were made. In 1847, the design by Carl Alexander Heideloff failed due to cost reasons. In 1880, Hugo Altendorff began planning the renovation , and from 1882 it was carried out under Gotthilf Ludwig Möckel with neo-Gothic side galleries, a new pulpit and new seating, unfortunately with the loss of the rich baroque furnishings. In 1891 the architects Schramm and Weißbach raised the tower on the basis of a donation from Karl Adolf Mirus .

From 1960 the interior was restored under Georg Laudeley (galleries, glass windows, painting) under the guidance of E. Hütter, F. Löffler, H. Magirius, W. Rittsche, in 1962 the installation of the baroque pulpit from the demolished town church of Hainichen, 1983 to 1994 a renovation of the exterior and in 1993 a restoration of the altar. The portraits of the superintendents from 1600, formerly in the chancel, were attached to the walls of the aisles.

Building description

Plan of the Church of St. Matthäi before 1882

The building is a late Gothic three-aisled hall church with four bays and a choir the width of the central nave. The exterior is characterized by high windows with tracery, stepped buttresses and the imposing roof. The lower floors of the tower probably originate from the previous building, the upper floors with the spire from the renovation in the 19th century.

The three naves are uniformly closed with a six-part star rib vault. The pillars have the fluted eight-sided shape that is typical for Saxon hall churches. The three-bay choir, the width of the nave, has a reticulated vault and a ⁵⁄₁₀ finish.

There are portals on the south and north sides, as well as access through the former chapel of the Kalandsbruderschaft. The entrances to the tower and the sacristy were not made until 1676. The lower floor of the tower used to be the sacristy.

On the north side of the choir there is a two-storey extension with a two-bay chapel on the ground floor (today sacristy) and singing choir, on the south side of the nave there is the former Kalandskapelle, two-bay with net vault, later parenting hall, now a memorial for the victims of both world wars. This extension used to have a second floor, which gave access to the galleries and where the shops of several guilds were set up.

Furnishing

altar

Altar of St. Matthäi Church

The altar is the work of the sculptor Valentin Otte and the painter Johann Richter and was created in the years 1663–1664. The predella shows the Last Supper, above the Adoration of the Shepherds, in the main zone in the middle the Man of Sorrows, left Mount of Olives, right flagellation, above crucifixion with phoenix and pelican, next to Moses and John the Baptist for the Old and New Covenants, side images with erection of the brazen serpent and Jonah with the whale as a parable for crucifixion and resurrection, outside Peter and Paul, further above the resurrection and ascension. The total height is 10.8 m.

Baptismal font

The baptismal font was created after the church burned down in 1638 as a foundation of the bureaucratic bureau Braun. The former lavish essay was also the work of Valentin Otte. It was to be lifted with a cable. A fairly detailed description of the same can be found at Kamprad. In 1800 it was removed.

pulpit

The pulpit, erected after the fire in 1639 on the central pillar on the south side with the 12 apostles, was replaced by a new pulpit when the new galleries were installed in 1883. This in turn had to give way when these galleries were demolished in 1960. Today's pulpit comes from the town church of Hainichen, which was demolished in 1906, and was built around 1700.

photos

The portraits of the superintendents since 1600 were originally placed in the choir. After the galleries were dismantled, they found their place in the nave.

organ

Organ of St. Matthäi Church

Earlier organs were built by Johann Lange in 1584, Erhardt Müller (Leisnig) in 1638, Tobias Weller (Dresden) in 1649, Johann Georg Friedlieb Zöllner (Hubertusburg) in 1792. The present organ was built in 1862 by Carl Eduard Jehmlich .
