St. Peter and Paul (Rüdenhausen)
The Church of St. Peter and Paul in Rüdenhausen is the parish church of the Protestant community. It stands on the church square in the middle of the Lower Franconian village. Due to the close relationship between the village and the Counts of Castell-Rüdenhausen , the church was shaped by the village lords. The 400-year rule of the counts was reflected in the shape and furnishings of the church. The parish of Rüdenhausen is part of the Castell dean's office in the Ansbach-Würzburg parish of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Bavaria .
history
The history of the church in Rüdenhausen is closely linked to the family of the Counts of Castell. In 1546, after the division into two main lines, Rüdenhausen became the headquarters of the Castell-Rüdenhausen line. The extinction of the line in 1803 brought Rüdenhausen into the possession of the Remlinger line. Count Christian Friedrich (1772–1850) renewed the Rüdenhauser line and again carried the name Castell-Rüdenhausen.
The old church (until 1708)
It is unclear when Rüdenhausen received its own parish . A parish register has only existed in the place since the second half of the 16th century. It is certain that Abtswind was a branch of the church in Rüdenhausen from 1364 onwards. This relationship was only resolved in 1396. Rüdenhausen itself was a branch of the parish Kleinlangheim , although the place always had its own pastor. With the acceptance of the Reformation and the formulation of its own church ordinance, Rüdenhausen dissolved this branch relationship in 1583.
Little information has survived from the original church building. A small wooden church was mentioned for the first time in 1364. Later a church in Gothic style and a gable are mentioned in a document . Like its predecessor, the church was probably consecrated to Saints Peter and Paul, stood in the same place, but was slightly shifted to the northwest. The noble von Gnottstadt family , who received Rüdenhausen as a fief from Count Castell 1463–1533, used this church as a burial place.
From the old church there is a sacrament house in the choir. An inscription above the choir arch read: “Anno salutis reparatae 1546 paulo ante obitum Illustris ac generosissimi Domini Wolfgangi Comitis ac Domini in Castell sacrosantum Christi evangelium per reverendum virum, Dominum D. Martinum Lutherum , immenso dei beneficio a foecibus et corruptetis (sic!) Papisticis repurgatum in hoc pago ac toto comitatu Castellensi pure ac sincere doceri coepit ”. This inscription referred to the Reformation introduced in 1546.
Ottilia, the daughter of Count Georg II, was the first from the Castell-Rüdenhausen family to be buried in the church in 1562. In 1539 the church received a new tower clock , it was renewed in 1695. The tower was renovated in 1569 and 1571. During this time the cemetery was moved from the churchyard to the so-called parish meadow. In 1663 a new organ with six registers was installed.
The new building (1708 to 1712)
The following years saw the church decline. Therefore a new building of the nave was planned. In order to collect the necessary funds, Count Johann Friedrich zu Castell-Rüdenhausen allowed so-called collection trips. The four trips by Rüdenhauser Tüncher Sebastian Ficht brought in around 915 guilders, a quarter of the money needed. A patent from the count had supported the traveler. Ficht's first trip led from Franconia via Thuringia to northern Germany and took the whole of 1702 to complete. Travel stations were Schweinfurt , Eisenach , Goslar, Hamburg , Bremen , Kassel and Fulda . On the second collecting trip, Ficht turned to southern Germany. Larger cities that he visited from 1702 to 1706 were Nuremberg , Stuttgart and Erlangen . 1707 joined the Lake Constance trip, on which he visited Wetzlar , Ansbach , Ulm and Lindau . The Ficht collector's last trip also took him to Holland . There he was ordered by Count Adolph von Rechteren, who married Countess Sophia Juliana and was therefore the brother-in-law of the Count of Castel. In 1738 a church with a dome similar to the one in Rüdenhausen was built in Almelo , the royal seat of the Dutch count. Ficht returned from his travels in 1709.
For the planned new building, the master builder Hans Michael Gäuner was hired. The carpentry work was to be done by Matthias Fiedler from Austria . In 1708, when the demolition began, the craftsmen noticed that in addition to the nave, the remaining parts of the church were ailing. So the church was completely demolished. The foundation stone was laid on May 9, 1708 .
The first burial in the new church took place on March 21, 1709. On September 22 of the same year the church was consecrated to Saints Peter and Paul. The building materials and the craftsmen came from the vicinity of Rüdenhausen. Although the tower could not be completed until 1712, services were already being celebrated in the new church. The tower button was put on on August 23 . A thunderstorm three weeks later made it necessary to fix the tower knob on September 17, 1712.
Renovations (since 1712)
While the outside of the building was not changed any further, some changes were made inside . New acquisitions and renovations shaped the interior of the church. This particularly affected Caspar Nieden's organ . It stood in the western gallery from 1709–1754 and contained ten registers . In 1754 the baroque case was destroyed, the organ hung above the altar and tuned again by Johann Rudolph Voit. In the 19th century the church got the present organ.
Although the changes to the facade of the church were minor, the building had to be repainted in 1783, 1825, 1833 and 1895. In 1752 the epitaphs of the counts were repaired, in 1765 the galleries were repainted. In the years 1846 and 1891 the church received a neo-Gothic chandelier, the altar structure was painted over with oil paint.
In 1914, before the First World War , this restoration was reversed and the old paint was reapplied to the pews. 1956-1958 the sacristy was renewed and more burials were discovered under the church. Another renovation took place in 1971. The Bavarian State Office for the Preservation of Monuments classifies the church building as a monument under the number D-6-75-162-7.
architecture
The church presents itself as a hall building . The choir protrudes to the east. The church tower rises on the north side. The church building has a gable roof . The original condition of the building has been preserved over the centuries.
Unlike many other sacred buildings, the front side is in the east. The facade is structured by five arched windows with simple frames and ears . The north side of the church has three arched windows. The polygonal choir completes the building. The sacristy was added later.
The tower has two square floors, the first of which ends at the level of the choir. Corner pilaster strips and cornices are attached to the edge of the two floors. A third floor is octagonal. The corners have stone pine nuts . The tower has an eight-sided, slate-roofed dome . The coats of arms of the Counts of Castell are attached to the west and east sides. The weather vane in the form of a swan was designed by Smith Christoph summer.
On the south side is the main entrance, above which a blown gable is the only decoration on this side of the building. Three arched windows structure the facade . Several rectangular windows give light to the galleries inside. There is a central portal on the west side; There are also several windows in the gallery floors.
Furnishing
The church is mainly characterized by the many tombs for the deceased of the Castell-Rüdenhausen house inside. Several church utensils have survived. The baptismal angel is a specialty .
altar
The altar created by Simon Merzer with the dimensions "26 shoes in height and 12 shoes in width" stands in the center of the choir. The structure is structured in several ways and has four concave-convex coiled pillars , which are decorated with carved gold-plated bands. The altar panel shows Christ crucified. To the left of the cross is the mourning Mary Magdalene kneeling . A marriage coat of arms of the builder Johann Friedrich von Castell and his third wife, Countess Catharina Hedwig von Rantzau-Breitenburg , can be seen below the altar extension . There are two vases on the left and right of the drawer. An oval oil painting in the middle of the altar extension shows the risen Christ in front of the empty tomb. At the base of the altar there is another, smaller oil painting with the Last Supper scene . The Würzburg court painter Oswald Onghers comes into consideration as the artist of the pictures . Two figures of the church patrons St. Peter and Paul from 1650 flank the altar in the middle part.
Baptism angel
The baptismal angel of the Rüdenhauser Church is the only one of its kind in southern Germany. Similar specimens only exist in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania , Schleswig-Holstein and Lower Saxony . He is almost life-size and wears a gold robe. Golden wings tower over his back. A baptismal vessel can be placed in the laurel wreath that the angel is holding. For baptisms , it can be lowered using a cable.
It was probably created in 1778, the costs were taken over by the daughter of the master builder Hans Michaelzauner. In the 19th century, angels were removed in many places and baptismal fonts were purchased instead . The baptismal angel also disappeared in Rüdenhausen in 1846; soon afterwards he was raised again. In the 20th century, the cable was connected electrically so that the angel can now be lowered from inside the church.
pulpit
The pulpit is on the left wall of the nave. It was created by the carpenters Franz Hölzer from Geiselwind and Christoph Wilhelm Holzapfel from Kleinlangheim. It is made of wood, the four oil paints on the body show Christ as Salvator Mundi and the four evangelists . Here, too, Oswald Onghers is believed to be a painter. The body is five-sided.
The five-sidedness is repeated on the sound cover . Four acanthus tendrils delimit a column capital. An angel of trumpets crowns the pulpit. He comes from the same workshop as the baptismal angel. Gilded foliage and painted ornaments decorate the entire pulpit.
Organ and galleries
The organ is located above the altar behind a gallery. It was created in 1872 by the Steinmeyer organ workshop in Oettingen. The mechanical cone shop technique makes it a rare instrument. It has twelve registers and has a "romantic" timbre.
The nave of the church is dominated by two-storey galleries on the western and northern sides of the nave. They rest on ornate wooden pillars and are partly open, partly closed off in three boxes by glass or tendril-lattice windows. The average is Herrschaftsloge or dominion status called, is with Akanthuswerk and small pilasters decorated and was reserved for members of the royal house. A large coat of arms of the Castell family crowns this gallery. The galleries were created by Matthias Fiedler. He received 70 guilders for the work. The decorations were probably made by the masters of the altar.
Bells
Many of the Rüdenhauser bells fell victim to the remelting in the two world wars . The oldest of today's five bells in the church tower is the time or eleven o'clock bell from 1608. It was donated by Count Gottfried von Castell-Rüdenhausen and created by the Nuremberg foundryman Christoph. She beats in a 'every hour and weighs 630 kg. Their diameter is 98 cm. An inscription reads: "Christof glockengießer zu nurmberg gos me God's word remains forever believe that with the fact that you are blessed"
Two bells date from 1950. The twelve o'clock bell was donated by the Castell-Rüdenhausen family to commemorate those who fell in the Second World War . It was cast in Heidelberg by the Friedrich and Wilhelm Schilling company with the pitch g '. The baptismal bell, donated by the community, was also made in Heidelberg. The diameter of this bell with the pitch c 'is 70 cm.
Two other bells, the thanksgiving and consecration bell and the death knell, were made in 1991. The latter replaced a steel bell from 1926. They have the pitches e '(thanksgiving bell) and d' (death bell). Together, the five bells make up the tune of the Te Deum .
Church utensils
In addition to the furnishings, the Rüdenhauser church also has a large collection of church equipment. They mostly come from foundations of the ruling house and were made by blacksmiths from Kitzingen , Schweinfurt and Nuremberg.
The oldest piece is a 17.5 cm high Gothic chalice made of gold-plated silver, which was made in 1532 by Nuremberg forges. He carries on the Nodus the inscriptions "ihs - xps" (Jesus Christ) and "Ave mar" (Ave Maria). An alliance coat of arms of the donor couple Hans von Gnottstadt and wife Anna geb. von Seckendorf is at the foot. The hospital church in Wunsiedel has similar specimens .
A silver host box dates from 1618 . The letters "L" and "B" and the year are engraved on the lid of the 4.5 cm high can with a diameter of 7 cm. A coat of arms shows a dog, with which it resembles the coat of arms of the Gnottstadter. Only the front feet are missing. A sick goblet, which was created around 1650, clearly shows the coat of arms of the barons of Limpurg . The 11 cm high goblet probably comes from the foundation of Anna Luise zu Castell-Rüdenhausen.
One of the two supper jugs made of silver with rich decorations was made in 1751. A lamb adorns the lid. The handle is designed like an angel. The inscription in the lid reads: "+ JOHANN CONRAD HLYN MDCCXXXI". A master's mark identifies the piece as the work of the Schweinfurt master Johann Georg Vogt. The other jug is a Rococo work and dates from 1768. The lid is decorated with the Easter lamb. The inscription on the handle reads: "MARGARETHA ACKERMAENIN 1768". The jug was created by a Nuremberg master and is 22.5 cm high.
A goblet with paten by Johann Georg Vogt made in 1745 is made of gold-plated silver and is 21 cm high. It bears the inscription: "Maria Jacobina Sophia Kornästerin bored Leonhardtin - Eva Juliana Stiglingin bored Leonhardtin 1745". The Cupa is smooth, while the Nodus is worked in a sinuous manner.
The paten from the 18th century is made of silver. The inscription reads "MARGARETA BARBARA SPRENGERin". The city coat of arms of Kitzingen is the hallmark . The master is abbreviated to "JHS". The plate has a diameter of 14.5 cm. There are also two candlesticks from 1856 in the church treasury. Both are 36 cm high and are mentioned in an inscription as the foundations of Countess Marianne Caroline Louise zu Castell-Rüdenhausen.
A bowl was created in memory of Elisabeth Countess zu Castell-Rüdenhausen in 1890. The master, abbreviated as “WTB”, engraved the inscription “Don't be afraid - just believe” in the middle of the bowl. Another host box made of silver comes from the 19th century. The lid of the 7.5 cm high profiled box bears a standing cross. The inscription on the bottom names the master "GE Eggert - Mühlhausen i / Th ".
The youngest church utensil, a gold-plated, 21.5 cm high silver chalice, dates from 1926. A marriage coat of arms from (Castell- Isenburg ) is embedded on the baroque work . The inscription reads: “In memory of Prince Wolfgang zu Castell-Rüdenhausen and Princess Emma zu Castell-Rüdenhausen, Prince. zu Ysenburg and Büdingen - given by their children Casimir, Marie, Alexander, Luitgard, Hugo, Hermann, Wolfgang - July 1926. "
Epitaphs
Twelve artistically designed epitaphs are located inside and on the outside of the church. Some of them come from the Vogelsburg near Volkach , where the Counts of Castell were initially buried. The monastery was dissolved in the course of secularization and the tombs were moved to Rüdenhausen. Some epitaphs come from the old church. Further tombs were created after the church was rebuilt. There are three for councilors to the counts outside the choir.
From the Vogelsburg
The oldest epitaph for Hermann I zu Castell was created around 1258 and consists of a life-size sculpture that has been badly damaged by weathering and the actual tomb. The inscription reads: "† ANNO • DNI • M • CCL… [FUN] DATOR • S • CON [VENTUS] CARM… HERMAN • COMES • DE • KASTEL • OB [IIT]" (In the year of the Lord 125 [.] Died the founder of the Carmelite monastery Herman Graf von Castell). The sculpture from the 16th century depicts Hermann as a late medieval knight .
Another epitaph from the Vogelsburg is that of Count Friedrich V. He died at the age of five on May 6, 1325. The sandstone tomb contains the coat of arms of the Counts of Castell in the center, above a helmet with buffalo horns . A relief below the coat of arms can hardly be seen. The third tomb for Count Hermann IV dates from 1363 and also shows a helmet and the count's coat of arms.
From the old church
Of the tombs from the old church, that of the Gnottstadt family from 1532 should be emphasized. It depicts a daughter of von Gnottstadt and von Seckendorff, who is shown praying in renaissance costume. An ornate alabaster epitaph is on the nave wall. It is the double epitaph of Count George II and his wife Sophia from 1589. The tomb consists of several floors with different details.
Two other tombs of the countesses Charlotta Juliana and Charlotta Luisa date from 1696 and 1697. While that of Juliana, on which two putti hold the marriage coat of arms of Castell / Castell-Remlingen, is a baroque work, that of Luisa is much simpler. Several coats of arms frame a text with the crucified above. The Castell / Hohenlohe marriage coat of arms occupies the middle.
After the new church was built
Another countess's grave was not built until the church was rebuilt. The structure of the epitaph of Eleonora Christiana, created in 1746, is very similar to that of Charlotta Luisas from 1697. The coats of arms of the agnates in turn determine the structure. The tomb of Johann Friedrich von Castell-Rüdenhausen from 1751 by Johann Baptista Lauggas is richly ornamented .
A plaque from 1959 commemorates Prince Rupert, who went missing on the Eastern Front in 1944. His brother Siegfried Fürst zu Castell-Rüdenhausen donated the memorial stone .
Grave of the Counts of the Castell family
In addition to the above-mentioned members of the Count's House of Castell-Rüdenhausen, other members of the ruling house were also buried in the church. Some of the burial chambers under the church were not discovered until 1957 ( see also buried in Birklingen monastery , buried in Castell and buried in Vogelsburg monastery ).
