St. Peter (Steinsfurt)
The Catholic Church of St. Peter in Steinsfurt , a district of Sinsheim in the Rhein-Neckar district in northern Baden-Württemberg , was built in 1803/04 instead of a previous structure from 1662/63.
history
The church goes back to the original church of the place, which was under the abbot of the Benedictine monastery in Sinsheim around 1500. During the Reformation in the Electoral Palatinate in 1565, the church came to the Reformed community. After the Thirty Years War , the church was shared by Catholics, Lutherans and Reformed people. In 1662/63 the dilapidated church was renewed. After the Palatinate church division in 1705, the church came to the Catholic community, but was initially used by Reformed and Lutherans, before they each built their own churches in 1767/69.
In 1803/04 today's church building was erected. While the exterior of the church already bears classical traits, the altars and architectural details inside are more likely to be ascribed to the late Baroque . In addition to the three baroque altars and the pulpit , the historic Stations of the Cross are among the noteworthy pieces of equipment. The ceilings of the nave and the choir have frescoed ceilings .
In front of the church is a sandstone statue of the bridge saint Johannes Nepomuk from 1742, which was on the Elsenz Bridge until the middle of the 19th century .

Bells
The bells of the church after the new building in 1803/04 consisted of two bells that were then newly cast by Lucas Speck in Heidelberg. The larger one weighed 1368 kg, the smaller one 225 kg. The larger of the bells had to be delivered for armament purposes during the First World War in 1917. As a replacement, the Bachert bell foundry in Karlsruhe in 1922 cast a 590 kg bronze bell with the strike tone g sharp 'and a diameter of 104 cm. The small bacon bell still preserved had to be delivered in 1942 during World War II , but returned intact in 1947. In 1970 the peal was extended to a three-part tone with the peace bell cast by Friedrich Wilhelm Schilling in Heidelberg with the strike note c '', a diameter of 75.9 cm and a weight of 297 kg. In 1971 two more bells were procured from Schilling. The Marienglocke has the strike note b ', a diameter of 85.2 cm and a weight of 427 kg. The Christ bell has the striking sound 'es', a diameter of 67.2 cm and a weight of 210 kg. When the bells, which were cast in 1971, were lifted, the old bacon bell was decommissioned and released for re-casting.
