The St. Nepomuk Church is a Roman Catholic church in Garitz , Bavaria , a district of the spa town of Bad Kissingen in the Lower Franconian district of Bad Kissingen . It belongs to the Bad Kissingen architectural monuments and is registered under the number D-6-72-114-170 in the Bavarian monument list .
The St. Nepomuk Church is one of two churches in Garitz; On September 16, 1973, the second church in the district was inaugurated, the St. Elisabeth Church .
history
At the location of the St. Nepomuk Church there was possibly a chapel that supplemented the neighboring corpse field, which is still the Garitz cemetery today. A “Notandum” of October 31, 1706 expresses the wish that in Garitz “a chapel or church would like to be set up like a grind in the place”. Furthermore, there is said to have been a row in August 1687 , when either a new chapel was inaugurated on that date or the anniversary of a church consecration was celebrated. The circumstances of the demise of this hypothetical chapel building are unknown.
The St. Nepomuk Church, consecrated to St. John Nepomuk , was built between 1745 and 1747. The necessary timber was taken from the community forest after the request for wood contribution had previously been rejected.
The real schematic of Würzburg attests to the church's first bell for 1761; a second bell was added to this in the 19th century. In 1924 the church received a new, somewhat larger tower and two additional bells, which were consecrated on July 17, 1924 by Professor Max Treppner from Bad Kissingen. The cathedral bandmaster and clergyman, Strubel, described them as “true gems of the bell casting” and “musically splendidly successful”.
A repair of the church clock is documented as early as 1753, which was financed from the interest of the loaned church capital. After an irreparable failure in 1841, a new church clock , made by the mechanic A. Clement from Aura an der Saale , was installed in 1875 .
In 1923 the nave was extended by two window axes to the north. The extension is wider than the nave from 1745/47.
While the first two bells had escaped metal delivery in World War I due to their small size , the two large bells had to be dismantled and delivered on March 17 and 18, 1942 as part of the four-year plan that provided bronze bells for use for war purposes.
On 19 March 1950, the dedicated Wuerzburg Domkapitular Kötzner two new bells in the Erdinger were made Glockengießerei Karl Czuchnowsky. Euphon was chosen as the material because cannons cannot be made from it.
After the church clock installed in 1875 ceased its function in 1972, a new clock was installed and the dial and hands replaced. The inauguration of the new church clock took place on September 16, 1973, the day of the dedication of St. Elisabeth's Church .
Architecture and equipment
The south-facing church building originally had a nave with two window axes and a polygonal choir with an octagonal roof turret . During the expansion in 1923, a higher and wider building with a hipped roof and its own roof turret was added to the main axis .
The high altar and the pulpit are both kept in the bourgeois rococo style and date from the middle of the 18th century and thus from the time the church was built. The side altars are in the classical style and were worked on around 1923.

In front of the St. Nepomuk Church in Kirchbergstraße (formerly - at the time of the monument inauguration - Burgstraße) is the war memorial built by the sculptor Bruno Brand in 1914/1918, which the Bad Kissingen pastor Albert Susann on July 30, 1929 in memory of the Garitz inaugurated victims of the First World War . It belongs to the Bad Kissingen architectural monuments and is registered under the number D-6-72-114-1 in the Bavarian list of monuments.
