St. Michael (Großbüllesheim)
.jpg)
The Catholic parish church of St. Michael in Großbüllesheim , a district of Euskirchen in the Euskirchen district ( North Rhine-Westphalia ), was expanded with a new building between 1965 and 1973. The church dedicated to the Archangel Michael still preserves the Romanesque west tower and the old nave.
history
The earliest mention of a chapel in Großbüllesheim can be found in a document from Lothar II from the year 856. In the comment by Caesarius von Heisterbach from 1222 on the Prümer Urbar from 893, we find the Büllesheim church mentioned. The church is also mentioned in the Liber valoris .
Today's church was built when the side aisles, which were renewed in 1885, were torn down between 1965 and 1973 and a modern main nave was built according to plans by the architect Karl-Josef Ernst from Zülpich . This created a kind of double church, with the nave of the Romanesque basilica and the new main nave lying next to each other and connected by arched openings.
architecture
Old St. Michael
The four times larger brick building of the new building and the sacristy are attached to the south side of the Romanesque main nave . The old ship, made of quarry stone , was repaired and the windows in the upper storey were fitted with modern leaded glass windows.
The four-story west tower with west entrance has the oldest church service room on the first floor, the Michaels Chapel. This upper floor of the tower was originally opened to the nave by three wall arches. A small round-arched door has been broken in the southern arch, through which one can get from the old organ gallery to the upper floor of the tower. The bell house on the third floor opens on all sides with a pair of arched windows. The eight-sided helmet is slate .
Even if a chapel (“ca¬pella”) in “Bullengesheim” is officially named in 856, it is not necessarily the origin of today's church. Großbüllesheim has certainly been an independent parish since around 1300, whereby the right of collation remained with the lords of Büllesheim until secularization. Michael has been part of the Erftmühlenbach parish association since 2002.
The single-aisled hall church from the 10/11. In the 12th century it was expanded to a four-bay basilica with two side aisles and an apse. Probably at the same time the undivided, barrel-vaulted, four-storey west tower in the tower hall with round-arched sound openings in the bell storey arranged in pairs on all sides was built. In the following period - in 1743 - the flat wooden ceiling was removed and a cross-ribbed vault was introduced, which concealed the epitaph-like relief - with Christophorus - on the south wall at the height of the upper floor of the tower (Michael's chapel). In 1812 a new (polygonal) choir with a 5/8 end was built. In 1860 the organ loft - made of wood - was added as a continuation of the upper floor of the tower so that the Müller brothers from Reiffer-Scheidt / Eifel could install their organ on it. In 1885 the side aisles were replaced by wider ones made of brick and these were lengthened on both sides with sacristy buildings, leaning against the choir. In 1938 Karl Bach from Aachen installed a new organ in the extended gallery.
New St. Michael
Due to the growth of the parish, an extension has been discussed since 1961. In 1967/68 there was an architectural competition, and the decision was made in favor of the design by Karl Josef Ernst from Zülpich. The execution took place in the years 1969-73. The design concept was based on the idea of tearing down the two neo-Romanesque aisles and choir and preserving the Romanesque nave with tower, while the church extension is arranged parallel to the old nave - i.e. connecting it. “The Romanesque quarry stone outer wall characterizes the new church interior as a side wall, the old church becomes the valuable aisle of the new church and retains its independent shape. The structure of the linear gable roofs of the new building takes up the theme of the old building. This retains its dominance due to its greater height and distinctive gable, supported by the tower as a structural fixed point of the entire complex. The folding of the linear gable roofs lend the column-free interior of the new building its own character. The recessed back wall of the altar causes natural lateral light in the area of the altar. The extended central room axes create a cross-shaped floor plan. "(Concept or building description by Karl-Josef Ernst)
Overall, the church building looks harmonious from the outside, as the openings that existed after the demolition of the north aisle and choir were closed with brick masonry, creating a connection with the extension building, a skeleton structure with brick fillings and the white plastered tower. Inside, the spacious new church space is defined by visible brick walls, concrete frames and quarry stone walls.
The windows designed by Paul Weigmann from Leverkusen in 1972 fill the room with a festive light: four arched windows with figurative motifs in the upper arcade of the north wall (rose / vine / Maria Himmelskönigin / Hortus clusus) and a narrow, high window strip with bird motifs in the south wall in the old one Nave, two diamond-shaped windows each in two gables of the east and west walls (motif “City of Jerusalem”) and two narrow, high window strips with inserted medallion discs (from the old church, end of the 19th century, motif “crowning of thorns” or “apparition des Risen ”) in the altar area of the new church, which is one step higher. - Three windows (late 19th century) - Crucifixion, Entombment, Resurrection of Christ - were installed in the sacristy. The sculptor Olaf Höhnen from Frechen designed the altar, ambo and sacrament stele in 1972 from trachyte or bronze. A neo-Romanesque crucifixion group - Christ on the cross with Mary and John - has been attached to the rear wall of the chancel since 1993. The old organ, which was rebuilt in 1972 by Karl Bach from Aachen and inserted into a new brochure by Peter Beretz from Eschweiler, was replaced in 2008 by a new organ by Romanus Seifert and Son from Kevelaer. The portals were created by goldsmith Albert Sous from Würselen in a free geometric design from copper. The ringing consists of the Marienglocke (1920) and Hubertus and Michaelsglocke (1954), since 2005 of three other bronze bells "Trinity", "Christ" and "Holy Spirit" bell.
The two central wings of the new building project slightly to the west and east. The light strips that extend from top to bottom frame the entire side surfaces of the protrusion on the eastern part. The large gable diamonds in the front sides also have glass surfaces. The result is a room flooded with light, the colorless glazed windows with filigree ornaments only slightly changing the incident light. The windows were designed by Paul Weigmann from cardboard boxes and manufactured in the Oidtmann glass painting workshop in Linnich .

The Gothic font from basalt stands on a base of Romanesque time. On the front is the coat of arms of Karl Ludwig von Sickingen-Ebernburg , 1745 to 1764 abbot in the Reichsabbey Kornelimünster , as a relief.
