The Roman Catholic parish church of St. Michael in Niederdollendorf , a district of Königswinter in the Rhein-Sieg district in North Rhine-Westphalia , dates back to 1911. It stands as a monument under monument protection . The church is located at the confluence of Heisterbacher Strasse with Hauptstrasse.

history

The first place of worship in Niederdollendorf is documented in 1144 as the property of the Vilich Abbey . A new late Romanesque church with a choir tower was built around 1200 . The period of origin of the preserved choir tower is dated to around 1230, it belongs to the group of choir tower churches in the vicinity of the Vilich Abbey, to which the neighboring church of St. Laurentius in Oberdollendorf is also included. Latit vom Stenzelberg was used in the construction of the church . In the centuries that followed, parish offices in Oberdollendorf temporarily took over pastoral care in neighboring Niederdollendorf. The new construction of the sacristy has been handed down for 1672 . In 1689 the church was badly damaged in the course of the siege of Bonn , and reconstruction began in 1691.

In 1788 the medieval nave was torn down due to the consequences of flood damage . It was replaced by a large hall building, which was characterized by a flat ceiling and beveled corners. In 1880 the sacristy was rebuilt, which was on two floors on the north tower wall. This church building, which can be assigned to the late baroque or classicism, comprised three large arched windows on the long sides and two on the west side. The exterior decoration also included a round-arched door including a pictorial niche above. After a new cemetery was established outside the village in 1881, the last burial took place on December 13, 1883 in the churchyard immediately north of the hall church at that time .

In 1897 plans began for a comprehensive extension of the church, which were driven forward with the help of a fund established from the estate of the pastor, who had died two years earlier. In the summer of 1908 an agreement was reached on the construction of a new nave on the site of the former churchyard, and in the spring of 1910 the church council put the necessary work out to tender. The new building was built in neo-Gothic style based on the designs of the Cologne architect Theodor Roß ; the old church tower was connected to it by a connecting passage. On August 14, 1910, the solemn blessing of the foundation stone took place, on 13 August 1911 took place the consecration by the Cologne Auxiliary Bishop Joseph Müller . In 1920 a soldier's monument was built into the basement of the Romanesque tower. Since 1989 there has been a column with a statue of the dragon-slaying Michael on the street corner to the west of the tower and a fountain with bronze reliefs of saints to the east of the tower , both works from the workshop of the Cologne sculptor Sepp Hürten .

The church building was entered in the monuments list of the city of Königswinter on September 27, 1989.

Rectory

The rectory of the church was right next to the churchyard until it was sold in 1799 and replaced by a new building. This was replaced in the 1830s by a newly built rectory next to the former school. From 1888, a residential building on the railway line , which the parish had inherited, served as a parsonage. In 1920 this building was given up in favor of the residential building Hauptstrasse 87/89 (built in 1870). In 1983 a new rectory was built right next to the parish church.

organ

In 1974 the parish received a new organ from Johannes Klais , Bonn (Opus 1504) with mechanical slide chests . The housing , which is kept in neo-Gothic style, was taken over from St. Martin's Church in Bad Godesberg-Muffendorf.
