from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
St. Peter in Stones

St. Peter is an evangelical stone church from the 18th century. The church with the patronage of St. Peter is mentioned for the first time in a deed of donation at the beginning of the 12th century. It was completely rebuilt in the middle of the 18th century.

history

A church in stones has been in existence since 1112, with written records. Field names such as Peterswald, Sankt Peters Acker, St. Peters Holz and St. Peters Matten are evidence of the patronage since 1344. In the years 1380/1390 a somewhat larger church was built at the same place, the remains of which are still in the sacristy in the form of wall slits and find a piscina . In 1476 the church received a tower.

After it was discovered during repair work in the church roof in 1726 that an extension and renovation was necessary, this was applied for in 1736 and the work could begin in 1741. The church was fundamentally adapted to the then new baroque design and the church tower was raised. The year in which the renovation work began is carved over the southern side door. In 1759, work on the new building was completed. Since the building structure on the tower and the west wall were taken over unchanged during the work, damage became noticeable in 1769, so that one was forced to rebuild the church tower from scratch.

In 1958 the interior was renovated and redesigned. The artist Rudolf Scheurer created a new font for this. A new altar and pulpit were also brought in. Jürgen Brodwolf created the colored choir windows . In addition, the north gallery was removed in favor of the organ.

St. Peter in Steinen is located close to the center on the northern arterial road towards Hägelberg. To the south of the church is a forecourt on which a war memorial commemorates those who fell in the world wars. The nave consists of a rectangular hall structure, with a saddle roof is covered. On the long sides there are elongated windows that end with a segmental arch. A grave plaque for Maria Tscherterin († March 10, 1675) is embedded in the west wall of the nave. On the south wall of the choir there are more panels for Hans Heinrich Zant († January 26, 1658) and Maria Salome Zant († February 21, 1659). The soldier Albert Tröndlin († March 27, 1871) is commemorated on the south wall of the nave.

The three-storey bell tower attached to the west has corner blocks from the floor to the roof edge. The main portal is also located on the tower, from which one enters the nave via a tower hall. The tower has small wall slots on the lower two floors. On the third floor it has arched sound arcades on each side . Above it are small gables on all four sides in which the clock face of the tower clock is attached. The tower closes with a pyramid roof slightly bent in the lower third , a tower ball and a weathercock . An epitaph on the south wall of the tower commemorates Maria Reichin von Reichenstein († 1564).
