The Roman Catholic Church of St. Peter and Paul in Eberswalde was built between 1876 and 1877. The church ensemble in the style of the north German brick Gothic was built according to plans by the Cologne architect Vincenz Statz . The parish church, consecrated to Saints Peter and Paul , was rebuilt after being destroyed in the Second World War and has been protected as a cultural monument since 1992 .

location

The multi-part church building of St. Peter and Paul stands west of the historical city center. The ensemble of the church, the building to the east of the New Forest Academy (since the 21st century city campus of the University for Sustainable Development Eberswalde ), the park on the Weidendamm to the south and the monument to the forest scientist Bernhard Danckelmann as well as the river Schwärze form a separate urban development Center. The parish grounds are located in the square on Puschkinstrasse, Schicklerstrasse, Friedrich-Ebert-Strasse and Goethestrasse. It is separated from the university by the Am Kienwerder footpath.

history

Church planting

The Catholic population in the Oberbarnim district at that time had grown due to the arrival of Westphalian merchants and formed its own community around 1847.

Donations were raised at an early stage for their own church building . First of all, with the support of the church council member Andreas Meyer, the community acquired a plot of land in Schicklerstrasse 3a in 1850 for 1537  thalers , 8 groschen and 11 pfennigs.There, master mason Schmidt quickly built a mission house that housed a pastor's apartment, a school room and a chapel room on the upper floor . Here on June 9, 1851 Pastor Kunert from Wriezen celebrated the first service for the Eberswalder community. The construction costs for the mission building were 4087 Thaler, 20 Groschen and 1 Pfennig. The money was raised through begging letters , of which around 22 percent came from the Lyon Mission Association , around 14 percent from the Bonifatius Association and the rest from private donations.

After Pastor Carl Harmuth took office on September 14, 1851, religious instruction began for the Catholic schoolchildren, which took place every two weeks in the classroom of a Protestant school and in a private apartment.

Building history

In 1870, the Cologne cathedral master builder Vincenz Statz, known as the “church architect”, was won over to work out building plans for the neo-Gothic church, which was to be built from local building materials. The church council approved it and entrusted the construction management to the Berlin architect C. Lewedag. On site, master bricklayer Schmidt played a key role in the construction work. The groundbreaking ceremony took place on March 24, 1876, and the foundation stone was laid on July 29 . After 15 months of construction, the church consecration was celebrated on November 8, 1877 , to which Ludwig Freiherr von Schlotheim , district president from Potsdam, Theodor von Bethmann-Hollweg , district administrator of the Oberbarnim district as well as numerous ecclesiastical dignitaries and representatives of the municipality appeared.

The church is the only church in Statz in what was then the Mark Brandenburg . During the construction period, the architect lived in Berlin , probably with his son. The construction costs amounted to 84,000 marks , of which the Breslau prince-bishop Heinrich Förster contributed 4,000 thalers (approximately 12,000 marks).

Since 1886, the church property has been separated from the roadside by an iron fence.

In 1894, the "little weatherproof material [existing] and therefore very damaged" was renovated and the rectory was repaired.

In the 1930s, the community bought the property to the west.

Development of the parish

On July 31, 1891, the Catholic parish of Eberswalde was elevated to a "regular, state-recognized parish". In those years it comprised around 500 Catholics. The census in December 1895 showed 728 members of the community, another 150 came from the surrounding area.

The chief forester Bernhard Danckelmann , who also held a seat on the church council for many years, and Bernard Altum , also a forest scientist and at the same time stood by the pastor of this community for many years as a priest, had a significant influence on the development . The community had a memorial plaque installed in the area of ​​the former Marienkapelle to honor him.

Later the parish belonged to the Archipresbyterat Frankfurt (Oder) , with its establishment in 1930 to the Archdiocese of Berlin . From January 1, 1939, it belonged to the Deanery Eberswalde, which on that date had been separated from the Archipresbyterat Frankfurt (Oder).

St. Peter and Paul during the Nazi rule

The Chronicle 1938 lists a “young men’s club”, scouts and a “Catholic workers’s club” as associations of the community, which in 1932 was still in “top form”. In 1934 political developments also affected Eberswalde community life. The clergy now looked after young people in newly established work service camps and in Landjahr homes. Meanwhile, the number of Catholics in the village fell. At the end of 1934 the community hosted 50 children from the Saarland in order to escape the hustle and bustle of the referendum to join the “Greater German Reich” and to “show the solidarity of the entire German people with their fate”. At Easter 1935, the National Socialists confiscated the “Kirchenblatt” for the first time, which was repeated several times in the following. The secret state police immediately monitored a ceremony of the workers' association in the city theater. An amusement celebration of the parish association requested in 1936 was not approved because "the organization of amusements is not the task of denominational associations", as the reason was given. Finally, from 1936 onwards, the chronicle records the disappearance of scouts and cheers and the establishment of the young people and BDM in the community. The common community festival on Corpus Christi was also not approved in the same year. After a Wehrmacht rifle regiment was stationed in Eberswalde in June 1936 , Pastor Mirachi was given pastoral care. He welcomed the approximately 600 members of the Catholic army on August 2nd “as a bulwark to protect the fatherland and the faith”. During this time civil servants were no longer allowed to be members in Catholic associations and working women were no longer allowed to be members of the Catholic mothers' association. At the end of 1937, the city councils finally forbade church parishes from religious instruction in schools. As a further concession to the zeitgeist, the pastor held a service for the participants on Labor Day , as the May Day celebration was now called, before the start of the march. On December 15, 1937, the Kirchenblatt was completely discontinued and the previous recipients received the message: “By order of the Secret State Police, the Kirchenblatt has been banned for an indefinite period. […] “No other use of the church or the outbuildings from this time until the end of the war has become known.

Destruction in the 1940s and reconstruction

The old town center of Eberswalde, a town with three armaments factories, was destroyed at the end of the Second World War by bombing and during the last fighting. The three churches in the city center suffered severe damage, other towering buildings burned down or the upper floors collapsed. The church tower and the south gable of the main house were destroyed by St. Peter-und-Paul, and the organ was also unusable due to fire damage.

As an emergency measure, the tower was given a low wooden flat roof around 1946; the destroyed windows and wall parts were protected by cardboard and boards. It was not until 1950 that the tower was rebuilt and the south facade repaired. The wall repairs are partly recognizable by the lighter areas. New church windows were also used, as shown under the nave .

In the 1970s and thereafter, the church underwent extensive structural changes in accordance with the recommendations of the Second Vatican Council . This mainly led to the redesign of the chancel and a simplified color scheme. From the late 1990s onwards, some things could be traced back to the original state.

In the 20th century, the city administration changed the house numbers in Schicklerstraße, so that the previous property number 3 / 3a has now become number 7.

St. Peter-and-Paul after 1990

The Archdiocese of Berlin and the community itself brought from the 1990s, some maintenance work of their churches on the way, including roof and facade renovation and renewal of the interior of the naves and the technology such as bells, organs or heating. On November 1, 2003, the four Catholic parishes from Eberswalde, Finow, Bad Freienwalde and Wriezen merged to form the parish of St. Peter-and-Paul Eberswalde. Since then, around 2100 people have belonged to the parish (as of 2013) with a catchment area also from the surrounding area of ​​the four cities, which extends from Marienwerder in the north-west, Friedrichswalde in the north, the Oder in the east, Neuhardenberg in the south-east and Heckelberg in the south.

Pastoral care in the Barnim district is ensured through a cooperation between the Catholic parishes Herz Jesu in Bernau and St. Peter-und-Paul in Eberswalde.

architecture

Nave

Vault detail in the church

The church building rises above a cross-shaped floor plan with internal dimensions 13.80 m wide and around 21 m long. It was completely built up from red Brandenburg brick. The main nave is closed with a cross vault , clinkered columns separate the ships from each other. Both outer gables of the transept form a stepped gable and both facades are decorated with large rose windows. The church interior receives daylight through pointed arch windows . Originally existing leaded glass windows were renewed in a contemporary way, whereby the gable rosettes were provided with colored kettle or pot glass (glass melt residue hardened on the crucible bottom), which was given a mosaic-like appearance by means of concrete casting .

Tower-side main entrance with door decorations

Two steps lead up to the main portal on the west side. A mobile ramp is available. The heavy church door was covered in 1984 with bible motifs and sayings made of embossed copper according to designs by the Biesenthal artist Friedrich Schötschel . The two sides show the denial of Peter (left side) and the blinding of Paul before Damascus (right side). The inner northern door leaf contains a quote from the apostles' meeting in Jerusalem ( Acts 15.7 and 15.8 ), the southern door leaf reproduces the first nine lines of the Song of Songs in a slightly abridged version.

Steeple

A triple stepped west tower , which was originally closed with a pointed folded pyramid roof, carried a pinnacle in the middle as a roof turret . In the course of repairs to the tower and the southern (right) wall of the wall in 1933, around a quarter of the tower roof made of sheet zinc was replaced. The remaining parts of the roof received a zinc sheet covering in December 1937.

After severe war damage, the upper tower area was rebuilt in a simplified manner and given a simple saddle roof. Instead of the roof ridge, the tower was given a 2.90 meter high steel cross , which was gilded on the occasion of the last renovations in the 21st century thanks to sponsorship from Sparkasse Barnim . At the height of the first floor there is also a rose window in the tower, albeit a little smaller than the one on the gable ends of the transept.

Without the cross and its bracket, the tower is 23.70 m high.

More buildings

Rectory
Ornamental gable of the rectory in 2013

The first rectory was a small building at the courtyard end of the property, as shown above under Mission House . The rear parts collapsed in the spring of 1896, so that a new farm building was required. This building on wooden grating cost 3700 marks and included a laundry room, two stables, toilets, a storage room and a drying floor. In 1932 the house was given a new covering made of "barusin cardboard" ( bitumen roof sheeting with raw cardboard insert) because the previous one had become leaky. The former single-standing parish or parish hall (St. Berchmans Hall), which was used for teaching purposes and by the numerous associations, was no longer sufficient for the growing community in the 1930s. The company E. and P. Gundelack received a planning and execution order, which built an extension to the farm building for around 4,100  Reichsmarks to create a club room and a garage.

During the Second World War, the front part of the first rectory was destroyed to such an extent that it had to be completely removed. The church management decided, with the approval of the GDR government agencies , to expand the former farm building in the courtyard area into a residential building. The previous free-standing community hall was added to the extension. This is how the rectory, which is still preserved today, was created, to which a brick facade with a stylized cross was added as an adapted ornament. Because of the damp subsoil, the stability is now seriously endangered and the municipality is considering a completely new building (status in October 2013).

Mission house for the Gray Sisters

In the Neue Schweizerstraße 11 (today Carl-von-Ossietzky-Straße) the then pastor Langer acquired a piece of land in 1890 and, according to plans and under the direction of the royal building inspector Peweling from Eberswalde, left a residential building there in his name for the foster sisters ("Elisabethschwestern “) Erect. This was later to become the headquarters of the Communicanden institution. The nurses' home was inaugurated in 1891 and was named "Herz-Jesu-Anstalt". By December 1892 the establishment received a chapel . In the 20th century, parts of the building complex temporarily served as a children's home.

For financial reasons and due to a lack of young people, the sister community gave up the Sacred Heart Institute in 1969.

Furnishing

Choir and main altar

Church interior with high altar around 1910

A polygonal apse with blind windows in three wall surfaces forms the choir , the window-like round niches are divided into three groups of three. The altar as well as the pulpit and the choir windows were made in Cologne according to the architect's designs.

Originally there were murals with motifs from the Old and New Testament in the niches of the apse . In 1936/1937 the parish had the chancel renovated with the help of a donation of 500 marks provided by the pastor. Presumably during this action, the representations were protected by narrow masonry, the whitewashed surfaces were decorated with framed images of the apostles and saints. The earlier murals, painted in 1910 (as can be seen from an inscription there), were discovered by chance during the renovation work in 1994. The parish had them exposed and restored.

Northern group of images Southern group of pictures

The three pictures in the northern area show a seven-armed candlestick , the ark and the showbread table of the Jerusalem temple . In the southern area, a fountain with seven outlets (in the middle), two thirsty stags (right and left) as well as the two doves and the host with a chalice floating above it form a New Testament allegory . In Latin under the pictorials there are the (translated) inscriptions "They will build me a sanctuary and I will dwell in their midst" and "You will draw water from the springs of the Redeemer (of salvation) with joy" ( Exodus 25, 8 and Isaiah 12: 3 ).

Altar area in 2013 with crucifix, pictures of the apostles, candlesticks

The middle niche was originally covered by the old high altar and therefore had no figurative and only sparse ornamental painting. In the sense of an interim solution, pictures of the apostles Peter and Paul, which were purchased by the Catholic community in Eberswalde, are currently attached. These are copies of the representations from the Peter and Paul Church in Potsdam . In the middle above the paintings there is a crucifix about two meters high , the body of which comes from the old high altar.

The old high altar is no longer there. In its place are a simple altar table and several altar candlesticks from Friedrich Schötschel's workshop.

Marien Altar around 1910

Side altars

On May 19, 1893, to the left of the chancel, the side altar was erected in honor of Mary , the Mother of God , and the Joseph altar on the right . The two altars, made to designs by the builder Hertel from Münster, were largely financed by the local printer family Müller. The local sculptor Miele carved them out of oak. The walls had been painted beforehand.

These altars were dismantled during the renovation work in the 1970s. The niches now contain the preserved statue of the Virgin Mary (to the left of the choir), the tabernacle (to the right of the choir) in the former baptistery, the statue of Joseph also preserved (to the left of the portal) and a figure of St. Elisabeth (to the right of the portal) ). St. Elisabeth is a donation from the sister house “St. Maria Afra ”from Ützdorf (2012) that had to be given up. The organ building company made the wooden wall bracket.

In 1890, the Stations of the Cross were commissioned on the basis of a donation of 1,116.25 marks . The terracotta half-reliefs were created according to a design by the artist Woerl and were framed by the master carpenter Max Baronski from Eberswalde and blessed in 1893 . (On the historical picture of the Lady Chapel you can see some on the walls on the left and right). After these were inserted in other parts of the interior walls without a frame and painted over in the 1930s, their whereabouts are unknown.

Gallery, chairs and other equipment

The small west gallery is mainly occupied by the organ .

The church council and the episcopal building and art commission provided for the donations made in 1936 and 1937 totaling 3,609 RM to make extensive changes to the color of the church walls, the painted pillars and the vault. The work was assigned to the Berlin church painter Theodor Nüttgens , which resulted in a lighter interior that was better adapted to the Gothic architectural style of the sacred building than before. In addition, the pulpit was dismantled during the renovation work because it had covered part of the high altar. An ambo was placed between the altar of Mary and the communion bench . And finally, the bells now received an electric drive system.

In the 1970s, the historical church seating was felt to be inappropriate and inconvenient. The pews were renewed. There are around 200 seats in total.

Modern ambo

In 1984 the artist Friedrich Schötschel provided for a largely renewed church interior with a modern altar table , tabernacle stele, ambo, six altar candlesticks, holy water bowl and the baptismal font. Since 1894 the community owned a font made of white Silesian sandstone, which the master builder Franz Statz had designed and executed by the stonemason A. Dittmer. Its whereabouts are not known.

In the 1990s, major interventions in the architectural design of the church were appropriately restored to its original state. The preserved works of art from the various periods are arranged together in the church.

The monstrance and other historical objects such as B. silver candlesticks, cope with chasubles and altar boys' clothing are stored securely and only used on special occasions, insofar as this is still useful and possible.

organ

Kienscherf organ on the gallery

The equipment with a first organ has not been passed down exactly. The chronicle only shows that in 1882 the church received a new organ “as a gift from the book printer owners Gebr. Müller here and through collection in the community”, “while the old organ was sold through the mediation of the local organ builder Kienscherf ”.

In 1929 the parish raised money again for a "new organ". Funding should mainly come from monthly contributions from parishioners. And in 1930 the gallery for the new organ was pulled out 1.5 meters into the church interior. The parish council had ordered the instrument from organ builder Franz Caspar in Berlin-Reinickendorf. Because the company was unable to deliver on time and there were also concerns about quality defects, the order went to W. Sauer Orgelbau Frankfurt (Oder) in November . The work was installed at the end of December 1930 and on January 6, 1931, the organ was consecrated for the third instrument.

This organ was destroyed together with the partially collapsed tower at the end of the Second World War. In 1950 the church received an organ again. This comes from the workshop of A. Kienscherf Nachf. Karl Gerbig from Eberswalde. At the end of the 1990s, the Eberswalder Orgelbauwerkstatt (a successor to the former Kienscherf workshop) carried out a general overhaul. The renovated instrument was inaugurated with a concert on January 16, 2000.

Bells

There is a ringing of three bells in the tower room. Immediately after the inauguration of the church building, there was only a small bronze bell with a diameter of 67 centimeters and hardly more than 50 kilograms in weight. It was sacrificed in 1917 " on the altar of the fatherland " for war purposes and melted down. Ten years after the end of the war, the collection of donations for the production of a complete three-ring bell (a bell fund) began. In 1934 the community received three bronze bells from the foundry Petit und Gebrüder Edelbrock Westfalen AG Mannheim . In the second half of November of that year, the parish celebrated the consecration of bells, which was carried out by the pastor Mirachi. Representatives of the city administration and all of the city's well-known associations as well as some church representatives were present. The production cost more than 3500  RM and came about through several donations from business people and private individuals. The installation of the bells in the tower was preceded by investigations into whether the tower could withstand the greater mass and vibrations without being damaged. They were rung on the eve of the first Sunday in Advent. The two larger bells were melted down again during World War II .

With the reconstruction of the destroyed church tower, new bells were cast, this time as cast steel bells in the Schilling und Lattermann bell foundry in Apolda . The community raised DM 1950 for this  and celebrated the (for the time being) last consecrated bells on November 10, 1963.

Use of the church and community life

The Catholic parish of Eberswalde and the surrounding area includes the parishes of St. Peter and Paul, the subsidiary churches of St. Laurentius in Wriezen, St. Theresa of the Child Jesus in the Finow district and Maria, the help of Christians in Bad Freienwalde (Oder) .

Various church associations emerged such as the church choir (1890), the St. Hedwigsverein (1892), a people's association (1919) or the mothers' association (1931); many also disappeared again, such as the church choir or the Volksverein founded in World War I, from which the Catholic Parish Association emerged in 1930.

Various circles were active in the 2010s, for example the Elisabeth women and the Kolping family . The latter is very committed to a social project in the Portuguese town of Lamego . The carol singers are also out and about once a year for a good cause.

The congregation takes part in regional campaigns such as the “Night of Open Churches”.

The Eberswalder parish maintains partnership relationships with the Catholic cathedral parish of Sankt Paul in Esslingen am Neckar .
