history
Before Lauterbach got its first church in 1860, after its founding in 1707, the place belonged to neighboring parishes as a branch . Until 1802 to the parish in the Kreuzwald in Lorraine , then to the parish of Emmersweiler until 1852 . Due to the strong population growth at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century, the church, built in 1860, became too small, so that a larger church was required. The foundation stone for the new church building was laid on July 2, 1911 . The church was built according to plans by the architect Peter Marx ( Trier ). The building contractor Michel Bour ( Ludweiler ), later Johann Schneider (Ludweiler), was responsible for the execution of the construction work . The construction costs amounted to almost 200,000 marks . On September 1, 1912, the completed church was designated. The consecration by the then Trier Bishop Michael Felix Korum did not take place until May 22, 1919.
In the years 1949 to 1951 the church underwent a restoration . In 1956 the church received a new tower clock . In 1976, renovation and restoration measures were carried out that affected the chancel and the wall paintings . The latter was exposed again after being overpainted in the 1950s and 1960s. Another restoration took place in 1996.

The church building was built in the style of historicism , which u. a. is characterized by recourse to older styles and a style pluralism . Does the exterior have a clear Romanesque character, which v. a. shows in the medieval-fortified front, which is reminiscent of the Romanesque westwork , a variety of architectural styles can be found inside the church. In contrast to the traditional Romanesque division of space into clearly recognizable yokes , St. Paulinus is dominated by a spacious central nave with narrow aisles . The wide, elongated and coffered barrel vault gives the church the character of a hall .
When designing the tower facade, architect Peter Marx cited the Romanesque facade of the former Benedictine abbey in Maursmünster in Alsace with regard to the positioning of the three towers , and the facade of the Trier cathedral with regard to the positioning of the portals and the western apse . With regard to the design of the three-part turret with its row of windows, Peter Marx could also have been inspired by the attempt to reconstruct the architecture of the crossing tower and the two transept towers of the Cluny III abbey church from the 11th century, which was then the largest sacred building in Christendom.
The interior of the church
The wall paintings inside the church are worth seeing. They were painted with casein paints by church painters Kiesgen ( Speyer ) and Kaufmann ( Munich ) from 1922 to 1923 and show Christ as World Judge in the choir and 4 scenes on the coffin walls of the transept , grouped according to age and occupation, symbolize the members of the church community. 1949–51, church painter Josef Held ( Düsseldorf ) created a new color version, but the paintings by Kiesgen and Kaufmann were retained. The sculptures are by L. Hack (Trier). The church windows were made in 1912 by the Binsfeld company (Trier) and restored after the Second World War . Two windows in the left transept were so badly damaged during the war that they had to be redesigned.
The church's furnishings include two baroque side altars from the late 18th century ( Marienaltar , Mauritius altar ), a baptismal font from the late 18th century, a statue of the church patron St. Paulinus from 1949 in the left aisle, and a Fatima statue from 1949 Way of the Cross made up of 14 oil paintings in the transepts, paintings in the side chapels, which were restored in 1996, and Gothic confessionals in the side aisles.
Part of the church is also a chapel of St. Barbara in the right transept and a memorial chapel for the victims of the two world wars with frescoes from the life of Jesus and a statue of Our Lady of Sorrows .
A crucifixion group is set in high relief on the outside of the tower front .
Bells
In 1914 , the Lauterbach community sold two bells (300 kg and 150 kg) to the parish of Spittel (now L'Hôpital ). Both were to serve the new St. Barbara Church in the Aspenhübel district (today Bois-Richard ). In 1917 , during the First World War , the largest bell had to be turned off.
In 1912 St. Paulinus got its first bell. It consisted of four bells and had the motif c, es, f and g. It was cast by the Franz Schilling & Sons company ( Apolda / Thuringia ). During the First World War, the three largest bells had to be handed in for war purposes. In 1923 the remaining bell was supplemented by two new ones, cast by the Mabilon-Hausen company ( Saarburg ). The beats were g, a and h. The third, current bell was cast in 1951 by the Paccard bell foundry ( Annecy / France ).
