St. Michael (Büschdorf)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Archangel St. Michael Chapel is a Roman Catholic branch church in the Büschdorf district of the Saarland community of Perl . It is a listed monument as a single monument.

history

As early as 1569, a visitation report reported from a Bernhard chapel in the village. In 1867 the political community built a new building in the center of the village. It was consecrated to the Archangel Michael and is around 150 m away from the old chapel, which was subsequently used as a barn.

In 1939 the Wehrmacht blew up the small tower of the chapel. In 1986 and from 2004 to 2007 the building was restored inside and out.

architecture

The hall with a semicircular choir was built with neo-Romanesque and neo-Gothic style elements and faces the street on the gable side. The church, made of yellow bricks, has reveals and eaves set off in red. Arched friezes decorate the building, buttresses also structure it. In the south side of the gable sits a simple round arched portal made of red sandstone with a rose window. Above that is a gable made of yellow sandstone in the gable roof.

Furnishing

Sacred art

In 2009, the artist Agnes Büdinger created a flag for the chapel with a picture of the Archangel Michael and a flag with St. Antonius and the child Jesus. The church's furnishings include two terracotta figures of St. Josef and St. Aloisius, which probably come from the Villeroy & Boch factory in Merzig . There is also a statue of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, a Lourdes Madonna, a St. Aloysius and a St. Joseph. In front of the apse hangs a crucifix on the right, and on the left an image of the Virgin of the Mater Ter Admirabilis .

Table and high altar

The table altar dates from the mid-1960s. The sandstone canteen is supported by 4 columns and comes from a Trier church.

The cafeteria was removed from the neo-Gothic high altar so that only the rest of the substructure and the two-tier reredos are preserved. The altar made of gray sandstone was originally made for the St. Joseph Palace Chapel, built in Wallerfangen in 1864, and either sold or given to the Büschdorf community in 1882 by the owner Eugen von Boch. The retable of the altar is around 2.20 m wide and 4.5 m high and has a rotating tabernacle. In a pointed arch to the left of the tabernacle stands St. Michael, to the right of the tabernacle of St. Bernhard. In another pointed arch niche above the tabernacle stands a Madonna and Child, flanked by an archangel statue on the left and right.
