The Catholic parish church of St. Pankratius is a listed church building in Körbecke , a district of the municipality of Möhnesee , in the Soest district ( North Rhine-Westphalia ). The parish belongs to the Möhnesee Pastoral Association in the Archdiocese of Paderborn .

First church

Radiant Madonna is mirrored on both sides and hung under the vault.

The oldest church in the town was built around 1150 as a single-nave Romanesque building. From this building the lower part of the tower has been preserved up to the height of the clock. The dividing columns in the tower, below the clock face of the tower clock, were carved out of stone and give clear information about this age. The congregation of such a large church must have been planted well in advance. The missionary work in the hair area was probably carried out from the Böddeken monastery . The community was probably founded around the year 1000 by the original parish in Soest and was supposed to evangelize the area. In 1963, fragments of the wall were exposed during floor and heating work. You could see the shape of this old church. The foundation walls of the side walls ran where the pillars are today . The round apse was at the height of today's choir steps .

Second church

The dilapidated church was demolished and a new, larger baroque church building was erected in its place between 1705 and 1710 . The nave was the size it is today and the wider roof was raised. The tower was raised by seven meters. In a big fire on June 11, 1715, the church burned down almost completely. The heat melted the bells and the lead sheets on the roof, and burned the roof structure and furnishings.

Today's church

Reconstruction began immediately. A master Heinrich Stütting, who marked himself as a magister lignarius (master of wood construction) with a scratch in the entablature of the bell tower , was appointed as the site manager for exterior and interior construction . Stütting was probably a graduate of the Grafschaft monastery building school . Both baroque architecture and the more rigid Westphalian baroque art were taught here. The nave and tower were built in the Romanesque style. Solid walls in the nave and choir are interrupted by arched windows. Buttresses are attached to the outer walls to support the arched vault. The portal on the south side has an explosive gable in which a sandstone Madonna figure is set. The interior was extensively renovated in 2012.

The church is a three-aisled, four-bay hall church . The building is plastered. All ships are the same height. The choir has a rectangular yoke. The side aisles appear narrow. The pillars are inclined slightly outwards, they are about 18 cm further apart at the top than at the bottom. Due to the inclination, the weight of the vault is distributed outwards over these inclined pillars onto the buttresses attached there . The groin vaults in the nave and in the tower rest between round arched belts on cross and wall pillars. In the sacristy and in the choir the vaults rest on consoles . The walls are structured by arched windows . The chapel in the tower is open to the church. The arcade of the former west entrance is visible.

Furnishing

High altar

The structure of the high altar rises up into the vault. A large crucifixion group can be seen in the center of the reredos . The group of figures stands freely in the room; the cross towers high and the crucifix is of remarkable physicality. The loincloth is gold-plated. Mary and John stand in a painful pose at the feet of the cross. Further figures stand between twisted columns with decorative garlands. Peter wipes a tear with his coat and Paul refers to a text from his letters : We proclaim Christ crucified (1 Cor 1:23). Ignatius von Loyola is shown dressed in a chasuble and Franz Xavier is shown as a missionary from Japan and India. Ignatius has an open book with the motto Everything for the greater glory of God . Above it stands a figure of Pancratius, depicted as a knight and victor over a Turk of Muslim faith who aims with a halberd at the cross in the shield of Pancratius. The upper entablature is supported by angels, next to it stand the martyrs Stephen and Laurentius as deacons. Since the renovation in 1861, the angels on the pediments have been missing the wings. The angel on the right is accompanied by an Indian child from South America dressed in a raffia skirt, the angel on the left is accompanied by an undressed black African child. The aim of the children is to emphasize the expansion of the faith decided after the Reformation at the Council of Trent . The cherubs above the picture frame indicate the beginning of the sphere of God. The altar is crowned by a risen Christ who holds the victory cross and the lightning bolt in his hands. The trumpets of judgment are blown by angels. On a board, behind which an angel stands, it is announced: Angels will go out and separate the wicked from among the righteous . (Mt 13.49 nd Vulg). Mary kneels to the left of Christ and John the Baptist stands to the right . On the sides of the tabernacle there are cherubs, next to them are representations of the church fathers . You can see Pope Gregory crowned with a tiara and next to him Franz Bernhard Mappus, the pastor of the construction period, in contemporary clothing. The then vicar Johannes Georg Wiese is shown on the right next to Hieronymus. Augustine and Ambrose stand further outside.

pulpit

Tanchelinus carries the pulpit.

The pulpit is also a work by Heinrich Stütting. A crane climbs out the stairs between the arkantus fronds at the staircase, biting the nose of another face that is peeking out of the plumage of the chest. The face shows Pastor Mappus. The pulpit is carried by a figure in probably Polish costume. As far as we know today, this stone figure represents the Tanchelm of Antwerp. In Latin sources he is referred to as Tanchelinus, he belonged to the renewal movement in the second half of the 11th century. He acted as a hermit and then as an itinerant preacher against the secularization of the clergy . As a punishment for his heresies, he bears the pulpit in a half-stooped position forever. The vernacular calls the figure with the nickname St. Stangelinus . Between the baroque decorations of the pulpit there are lovely figures. The pulpit lid is crowned by a figure of Michael, he defeats the horned devil; in his left hand he holds a snake. Michael's sign reads: Quis ut Deus (Who is like God).

Radial Madonna

The monumental representation shows Maria as a double figure in the halo which is suspended from the vault. This work is also attributed to Heinrich Stütting. Maria wears a white robe and over it a blue cloak, which is set off with a gold-colored border . The hairstyle looks courtly , the head is surrounded by a wreath of stars. Standing on a crescent moon, Mary crushes a snake that is vomiting the forbidden fruit of paradise, a golden apple. Mary holds the boy Jesus, who is reaching for the scepter, in her left hand.

Other equipment

The organ
  • The baroque organ was built by Johann Georg Fromme between 1770 and 1790. It has 29 well-coordinated registers . Popularly it is also called a thousand-part organ . The instrument was last renovated in 2012 as part of a renovation of the entire church. The organ stands on a gallery with a marbled frame, the organ gallery was set up by a Krump company from Körbecke .
  • A Gothic reliquary monstrance from the 15th century is made of gold-plated silver. The foot is six-part and curved pear-shaped. The shaft and pommel with enamelled figures are hexagonal. The six-part buttress structure shows figures and twelve-sided crystal containers. The monstrance was shown in a catalog at the Münster Art Exhibition in 1879.
  • The benches were built by Heinrich Stütting from 1705, the cheeks are decorated with 96 carved angel heads, all of which are different. According to tradition, the faces of local girls are said to have served as models. The benches are richly carved with flowers, foliage, grapes, acorns and a number of other fruits. The ornaments are meant to symbolize all of creation. The names of the families using the knees are engraved in order to document their membership in the community of the community.

Bells

The cast steel bell of the foundry Buderus & Humpert from 1920 was initially exchanged for four bronze bells in 1996. In 2010 a cymbal peal was formed with the Klepp bell from 1996 and four new bells and a new Klepp bell from 1992 was hung in the roof turret:
