history

prehistory

The oldest church in the early medieval Winterthur was a predecessor of today's St. Laurentius town church . It was a wooden hall building from the 7th / 8th centuries. Century. At that time the church was a branch of the parish of Oberwinterthur . In 1180 the parish was replaced for the city rectangle. In 1482 the parish in Oberwinterthur was bought out and the upper and lower suburbs as well as mills were included in the parish. The patronage was initially with the founders, the Counts of Kiburg , it was bequeathed to the Habsburgs in 1264 , then pledged to the Zurichers in 1467 . After the Reformation in 1524, the church was used for Reformed services, with the church being completely cleared out during the iconoclasm . The practice of the Catholic cult was forbidden in the canton of Zurich for almost 300 years. The Edict of Tolerance of the Zurich Government Council of September 10, 1807 allowed a Catholic community in Zurich for the first time. In September 1813, fifty Catholics living in Winterthur appealed to the city fathers for tolerance and asked the city council in a petition to be allowed to use the St. George chapel for Catholic services. The city council showed that it was willing to take the initiative, but the Small Council of the Canton of Zurich rejected the request. The Small Council neither recognized the need nor did it consider the Winterthur Catholics in a position to reward a clergyman . The real reason for the rejection was probably the fear that from now on Catholic priests would have been more active in the canton of Zurich. When the number of Catholics in Winterthur continued to increase due to the onset of industrialization , they made a second attempt in the summer of 1840, but this time it failed because of the attitude of the reformed church authorities of Winterthur, which protested against the simultaneous use of the Church of St. George . The Chur Bishop Haller initiated about 1856 an initiative committee for a third foray what happened on 27 March 1860 by a further petition. This called on the city council of Winterthur to allow the practice of the Catholic cult in Winterthur. The petition mentioned the increasing number of Catholic residents of the city, but also the collection of money that had already taken place and the reference to the future importance of Winterthur as a federal arsenal, where increasingly Catholic soldiers would also be. When the Cantonal Council of Zurich decided to abolish the Rheinau monastery on April 22nd, 1862, the canton combined the abolition of the monastery with the need to give the monastery property a new, legally regulated use. This led to the drafting of a Catholic church law. The so-called First Church Law of Zurich in 1863 finally recognized the Catholic parishes in addition to Zurich, also in Winterthur, Dietikon and Rheinau (the last two were traditionally Catholic places). In these four places, the Catholic parishes received money from the state, as otherwise only the Reformed parishes in the canton of Zurich received. In the other places, the newly emerging parishes had to finance themselves privately, which they did on the legal basis of association law, for example with the help of associations such as the Piusverein (founded in 1857) and the Catholic Society for Domestic Mission (founded in 1863). In the 1860s, a number of pastoral care stations and later parishes in the canton of Zurich were set up in this way in short succession: Männedorf (1864), Gattikon-Thalwil / Langnau (1864), Horgen (1865), Pilgersteg-Rüti / Wald (1866), Wald and Bubikon (1873), Uster (1876), Langnau (1877), Rüti (1878), Wädenswil (1881), Bülach (1882), Wetzikon (1890), Bauma (1894), Adliswil (1894), Pfungen (1895), Dübendorf (1897) and Küsnacht (1901). So it came about that by 1900 there were already 20 Catholic parishes in the canton of Zurich, including the one in Bülach.

On August 10, 1862, the day of remembrance of the medieval city patron St. Laurentius , an official Catholic service was held in Winterthur for the first time since the Reformation. This was held in the prayer room of the old city ​​chancellery . The founding assembly of the Catholic parish of Winterthur took place on December 13, 1863 - one year before the state church law was formulated in the canton of Zurich. The founding protocol gives an insight into the social, legal and financial circumstances of the Catholics of Winterthur at that time: 84 of the 114 Catholics listed by name lived in the city of Winterthur, of which only 12 had citizenship , the rest were settled. Around a third of those settled were foreigners, mainly from southern Germany and Vorarlberg . Most Catholics only lived in the city of Winterthur for a short time. The city's first major growth spurt was based on the immigration of simple, uneducated and, to a large extent, Catholic workers. In contrast, the few Catholics who were resident in Winterthur had a substantial fortune and were in charge of the parish from the beginning. The constitution of the Catholic parish of Winterthur and the construction of the Church of St. Peter and Paul can thus be viewed as the work of a narrow Catholic upper class.

Since the city council of Winterthur wanted to give the newly emerging urban district behind the train station an appropriate focal point, it supported the construction of the Catholic Church by handing over a large, centrally located piece of land. In the summer of 1862, an area of ​​around 42,000 square meters in the new quarter on the Neuwiese was divested and in the spring of 1864 transferred to the Catholic parish. This gave the Catholic parish a representative location for the construction of its first church in Winterthur. As the only public building in the new quarter, the church took a priority, which was underlined by the surrounding plaza. A municipal servitude stipulated that the land around the church could not be used for a cemetery or for the construction of further buildings. In addition, a public fountain was erected directly in front of the church, which was an essential design element in the new quarter in the days before the water pipes down to the individual apartments. In 1868, the church of St. Peter and Paul as the architectural center of the quarter was completed, at least in its shell. In 1883 the interior of the church was started. In 1897 the Bishop of Chur, Johannes Fidelis Battaglia, consecrated the Church of St. Peter and Paul. Other buildings belonging to the Church of St. Peter and Paul were the rectory built in 1874 and the club house on Wartstrasse, which was acquired in 1892 . Today the ensemble of the Church of St. Peter and Paul includes the rectory at Tellstrasse 7 , the house at Tellstrasse 11a with crypt , social services and Spitex as well as the parish home at Laboratoriumsstrasse 5, which was built on the site of the former laboratory .

A special feature of the seven Catholic parishes in the city of Winterthur today is that together they form a single parish. As a result, with 25,882 members (as of 2014) the city of Winterthur has the largest Catholic parish in the canton of Zurich and the diocese of Chur. The parish of St. Peter and Paul is responsible for 4,448 Catholics.

About naming

In the 19th century, Catholics were a minority in the Reformed Canton of Zurich. The Kulturkampf was a sign of the Reformed population's distrust of the immigrant Catholics. In response to this, ultramontanism emerged in the 19th century , which gave expression to the Catholics' feeling of belonging to the Pope and the Vatican in Rome. In the course of this attitude, some newly built churches were consecrated to St. Peter and Paul , u. a. also the oldest Catholic church in the city of Zurich, St. Peter and Paul (built in 1874), and as the first Catholic church in Winterthur since the Reformation, St. Peter and Paul in the Neuwiesen district.

Building history

Johann Jakob Sulzer had come into contact with the German architect and art theorist Gottfried Semper before his election as mayor of Winterthur in 1858 as a councilor in Zurich . On November 12, 1863, Sulzer asked Semper, at the request of the church administration, for a construction plan for the new Catholic church to be built in Winterthur. Semper, who at almost the same time also tackled the planning of the Winterthur town hall , delivered a design in the neo-renaissance style a little later , which, however, would have become too expensive for the Catholic parish and therefore could not be realized. That is why the Catholic Church Administration commissioned several designs in the winter of 1864–1865 and presented seven projects to the public in June 1865. The church maintenance department finally decided in favor of the design by the Winterthur architect and master builder Karl Wilhelm Bareiss . Construction began in the summer of 1866, a year later the dome was completed, and another year later the exterior of the entire church. In September 1867, the parish assembly appointed St. Peter and St. Paul as church patrons . Dean Rüttimann opened the church on July 5, 1868 in the presence of representatives of the cantonal government, including state clerk and poet Gottfried Keller and the city council of Winterthur. Due to the financial situation, the interior construction of the church came to a standstill and was only started in 1883. The sale of part of the church treasure from the dissolved Rheinau monastery brought in 30,000 francs, with which part of the building debt was repaid and a fund for the interior construction of the church could be set up. The interior work was completed within ten years. On July 10, 1897, the church was inaugurated by the Bishop of Chur, Johann Fidelis Battaglia. In 1925 the church was expanded by adding a sacristy based on plans by the architect Hermann Zangerl. The sacristy was built around the church in the form of an ambulatory . At the same time the exterior of the church was renovated. A comprehensive interior renovation of the church took place between 1939 and 1946. The roof of the church and the foundations had to be statically reinforced. At the same time, the interior was also isolated, so that the previous paintings were largely lost. That is why the painter August Frey created a new cycle of pictures on the life of the church patrons St. Peter and St. Paul. The original decorative painting was brightened according to the taste of the time and the church was painted white. The original, richly ornamented glass windows of the church have been replaced by simpler stained glass windows in the choir , and in the nave by light panes with individual images of saints. From the original painting, only the neo-Gothic vault painting remained. In the years 1982–1984, the church was completely renovated under the direction of the cantonal monument preservation department . The aim was to return the neo-Gothic church to its original shape in essential parts. After the interior had been purified in the 1940s, the original neo-Gothic overall impression was restored on the basis of photographs and color findings. According to the specifications of the liturgy constitution of the Second Vatican Council , a free-standing popular altar and a lectern were created, which fit harmoniously into the restored design of the church.

Building description

Church tower and exterior

The steeple

The Church of St. Peter and Paul is located at the intersection of Neuwiesenstrasse and Wartstrasse and is therefore in the center of the Neuwiesen district . At the side, the church is surrounded by narrow parking areas and enclosed by a symmetrical network of paths. In front of the main portal of the church there is a two-part access staircase that surrounds a fountain. The church is a longitudinal building with a steep gable roof and is adorned with high tracery windows and buttresses with pinnacles . The choir is lower than the nave and has a polygonal finish. The entrance facade is dominated by the front tower, which rises above the porch of the church. In 1925 a sacristy was added to the church, which was laid out as an ambulatory.

The Church of St. Peter and Paul is a typical neo-Gothic building from the mid-19th century. Starting from the enthusiasm of the Middle Ages of Romanticism , Neo-Gothic had developed into the predominant church style from 1840. The architect Karl Wilhelm Bareiss designed a longitudinal building with a choir and a front tower for the Church of St. Peter and Paul, thus adopting the common scheme of neo-Gothic parish churches. The floor plan of the hall realized by Bareiss, however, is rare in churches at the same time. These are usually built with three aisles with a basilical nave or in the form of pillar halls with galleries, such as the z. B. is the case at the Elisabethenkirche in Basel.

The bells

Until 1887 the church did not have a real bell, only a single, small bell. In 1884 a bell club was founded, for which each member had to pay 30–50 cents per month. In March 1887, the Bell Association had collected 15,000 francs, so that the Jakob Keller bell foundry in Zurich-Unterstrass was able to order four bells that match the bells of the reformed church in Veltheim. On November 24, 1887, the bells were brought to Winterthur on the Nordostbahn. On November 27, 1887, the abbot of Einsiedeln, Basilius Oberholzer, consecrated the bells on behalf of the Bishop of Chur, Franziskus Constantinus Rampa. On December 4, 1887, the bells rang for the first time.

Interior and artistic equipment

The structural completion in 1868 was limited to the exterior. At that time the nave was still covered with a simple flat ceiling. Simple table altars and a simple pulpit formed the first emergency equipment of the church. From 1883, the expansion work was completed within ten years through the vaulting of the church, the construction of a gallery with organ, the elevator of bells, the installation of elaborate altars and matching glass windows, including a corresponding painting of the church. This was done according to plans by the Lucerne architect Heinrich Viktor von Segesser von Brunegg. August F. Martin (1837–1901), who was one of the most important neo-Gothic artists in Germany and Belgium, took on the further elaboration and part of the implementation of this concept. Father Albert Kuhn created the iconographic program and checked the altar designs. These were given to the altar building company of Josef Eberle in Überlingen. Painter Josef Traub carried out the decorative painting, while the figural murals on the nave walls were carried out by a son of the painter in charge, Alfons Martin.

The single-nave nave consists of six bays, of which the second foremost with the side exits is kept somewhat wider and thus suggests a transept. The retracted choir of the church adjoins the lancet-shaped triumphal arch. The west gallery is two-story and is reached via the outer stair tower. The front of the gallery consists of pointed arches spanning storeys, which are raised with eyelashes. The original decorative painting of the church was painted over during the interior renovation in the years 1939–1946 and was largely reconstructed in the years 1982–1984. Warm red tones, blue and gold underline the design significance of the choir arch, as do the door frames and the rich architecture of the gallery. The wall sections, which are decorated in the base area with a green brocade imitation, are more reserved. A painted squaring on a bluish background adorns the walls. The chords, consoles and keystones with rosettes of the reticulated vaulting in 1886 are highlighted in different colors.

Original painting and windows

The nave walls were adorned with six of the seven sacraments until 1946 . On the side walls of the choir, a depiction of the wedding at Cana and the wonderful multiplication of bread refer to the Eucharist as the seventh sacrament, which was celebrated in the choir. On the wall of the choir arch there was a representation of the mercy seat in a round medallion , referring to the Trinity . There were six tendril medallions around the choir arch, in which angels showed the instruments of Christ's passion . Glass windows were installed in the choir, depicting the four evangelists and the church patrons Peter and Paul. These windows as well as the glass windows in the nave were replaced during the interior renovation in the 1946s. The figure windows next to the side altars are the original windows from the 1890s. On the male side, the Old Testament prophets Abraham , Isaac and Jacob are shown , while on the female side Eve , Judith and Esther are shown.

Side altars

The Marienaltar by Josef Eberle (1839–1903)
The Josephaltar

The Marian altar on the women's side forms a self-contained program of devotion to the Mother of God. Also - on the outside Weekdays page called - is on the altar wings the Annunciation of the Archangel Gabriel to Mary shown. The tint of the image is kept remarkably subtle and is in contrast to the open gold shiny festive side is the altar. On the wing that are inside of the Nativity and the Adoration of the Magi presented. In the shrine there is a blessing of Mary, which is executed as a richly gilded carving and surrounded by a framework. The motif represents a variation of the coronation of Mary : Christ enthroned as king, next to him the queen of heaven Mary. The two sit on a broad throne and face each other, the Mother of God praying towards the blessing Christ. The picture was designed based on a template by Martin Schongauer in August F. Martin's workshop and executed by the altar building company Josef Eberle. In conversation narrowness of the altar there is a group of three: In the middle of one's Woman of the Apocalypse to see with halo, which by their parents Anna and Joachim surrounded.

The Joseph altar on the male side is dedicated to the father of Jesus, St. Joseph . As the patron saint of various craft trades, but also as the patron saint of marriage, St. Joseph was considered a role model for the hard-working and caring family father in the 19th century. The painted panels on the festive page show St. Joseph in his father's role: the flight to Egypt and the parents' reunion with 12-year-old Jesus in the temple. On the weekday side of the altar, Joseph's life and death are depicted in the midst of the family. In the shrine, St. Joseph is shown with the baby Jesus by the hand. He is flanked by St. Laurentius, the pre-Reformation city patron of Winterthur, and by St. Ulrich, who is called upon in the event of illnesses and other plagues. St. Ulrich came from the noble family of those von Kyburg-Dillingen, who were the lords of Winterthur. The city saints of Zurich, St. Felix and St. Regula , can be seen in the crack above the shrine . Between them is shown St. Mauritius , who, according to tradition, led the Thebaic Legion to Martigny as a martyr and commander , which was the first time Christianity came to what is now Switzerland.

Main altar

The main altar

The main altar is considered to be the highlight of the church furnishings and thematizes the life and work of Jesus Christ . On the outside of the large altar wings, the crowning of thorns and the Way of the Cross are depicted. On the outer corners of the altar are the Ekklesia with the attributes chalice, missal and victory flag. She is considered the personification of the new covenant. In contrast to this, at the other corner of the altar, there is the synagogue , which is shown blindfolded and with the tablet of the law and is considered the personification of the old covenant. If the altar is open, the image program refers to the mystery of the Eucharist. Four scenes show Old Testament interpretations of the Eucharist on the symbolism of sacrifice and meal: first the sacrifice of Abel and Melchizedek , then the Easter lamb at the Passover meal and the manna in the desert on the flight of the people of Israel. On the inside of the wings, the Eucharistic promise of Jesus is depicted on the left and the Last Supper with the disciples on the right. The two church patrons, St. Peter and St. Paul, are monumental figures in the niches. Each with an open book they point to the Eucharistic promise and explain the scenes that surround them on the inside of the wings. In the middle of the high altar is the risen Christ, flanked by Mary and John . The tabernacle and the cross in the exposure niche were created in the 1940s by the goldsmith Willi Buck finally.

The Winterthur Madonna

At the right side exit there is a copy of the so-called Winterthur Madonna in a richly gilded neo-Gothic shrine . The original is kept in the parish church of St. Nikolaus in Frauenfeld . According to tradition, this statue was brought to Frauenfeld before it was threatened with destruction during the iconoclasm of the Reformation. Since the Catholic parish of Winterthur was unable to return the original to the Church of St. Peter and Paul, this copy was made in 1941 by the Anton Blank (1884–1971) studio from Wil . The original is probably a central figure of a coronation of Mary from around 1500. For this reason, the copy is freely supplemented with a crown worn by angels.

Further equipment

After the church had been isolated inside, the artist August Frey (1912–1998) created the wall paintings in the nave in 1946. He created three key scenes each from the life of the church patron Peter and Paul. These are the slander of Peter, his conversion speech on Pentecost and the call to the apostle with the handover of the keys. Paul depicts the presence of the sinful Saul at the stoning of the martyr Stephen , his conversion to the true faith and the martyrdom in Rome. In addition, the painting of the choir arch wall shows the symbols of the four evangelists under the enthroned Christ. The tympanum pictures above the side exits depict the encounter between Maria and Elisabeth and Joseph's dream.

The pulpit still belongs to the original furnishings of the church. The octagonal pulpit rests on a slender bundle pillar and is crowned by a sound cover. Like the altars, the pulpit may have been designed by August F. Martin and created by the Eberle altar building company. Images of Christ and the four Latin Fathers of the Church, Augustine , Gregory the Great , Ambrosius and Jerome can be seen on the pulpit parapet . In the 1940s this design was supplemented by a depiction of St. Anthony of Padua . The font is also part of the original equipment. The choir windows from 1946 were purely ornamental. Since they were too colorful as a background for the high altar, they were moved to the sides of the choir in 1984 and new glass windows in tinted colors were installed instead. The figures of saints on the church windows of the nave were created in 1946 by the glass painting company A. Kübele from St. Gallen based on designs by the painter August Wanner (1886–1979). On the male side, St. John Baptist Viannay (pastor of Ars), Vincent von Paul , Georg , Blessed Suso and St. Albanus and Pancratius (besides St. Laurentius, another patron of the pre-Reformation town church) are shown. In three small windows under the gallery there are St. Niklaus , Francis and Augustine. On the women's side you can see St. Verena , Cäcilia , Elisabeth , Wiborada and St. Theresa of the Child Jesus . Under the gallery you can discover the Annunciation, Mary at the manger and the Mother of Sorrows . Finally, the Way of the Cross dates from 1925 by the altar building company Marmon and Blank in Wil.

Relation of the design to the medieval city of Winterthur

The interior of the Church of St. Peter and Paul expressly refers to the pre-Reformation tradition of the city of Winterthur. The strongest evidence of this is the installation of a copy of the Winterthur Madonna from the town church. But the church windows on the right are also shaped by memories of Catholic Winterthur in the Middle Ages. Here St. Nicholas is depicted, to whom an altar in the town church was consecrated; then St. Francis, whose brothers owned a small hermitage near today's brother house; also St. Augustine, according to whose rule a convent was founded on the site of today's Heiligbergschulhaus. St. Alban, Winterthur's patron saint, and the Dominican and mystic Heinrich Seuse, who often stayed with his fellow sisters in the Töss monastery, received a church window. And St. George owes his portrayal to a St. George brotherhood that maintained the first infirmary in Winterthur. Finally, on the Joseph Altar stands St. Laurentius, the former patron of the Winterthur town church.

organ

The Späth organ from 1984

The first organ of the church came from the Goll company , Lucerne, from 1888 and was inaugurated on October 28, 1888. It was expanded in 1925 by the Goll company from 23 registers to 32 registers. To make room for this, the 1.40 m thick tower wall was broken through to 3.60 m wide and 7.50 m high. In keeping with the taste of the time, the Gothic-style organ front was replaced by a theater backdrop. This first organ was initially mechanical, then pneumatic and from the 1960s onwards electro-pneumatic, which made it vulnerable. In the 1980s, the organ was described as stylistically and technically unbalanced. Since a revision with a new action and a new organ case would have been tantamount to a new building in financial terms, it was decided to replace this first organ of the church with a second one.

Today's organ was rebuilt between 1983 and 1984 by the organ building company Späth , Rapperswil . It comprises 36 registers on three manuals and a pedal with mechanical sliding drawers . The action mechanism is also mechanical. The project comes from Father Ambros Koch, Fischingen Abbey, and Ruedi Wäger, Kreuzlingen. The prospectus was designed by the architects Spirig und Kask, Zurich, in collaboration with Späth Orgelbau.

crypt

In 1985, the parish crypt was set up in the house at Tellstrasse 11a to complement the neo-Gothic church of St. Peter and Paul . It is located in a former coal cellar.

In the middle of the room there are four wooden pillars that are arranged in a square. In the middle they hold a round clay bowl that is open at the top - it is a symbol for the emptiness, but also for the readiness to receive and receive. The square was already a symbol for humans in early Greek antiquity, while the circle (enclosed in the square) represents the divine. In the Greek houses and temples, the hearth or temple fire was constantly burning at a central point. The most important place in the house symbolized the presence of the sacred and divine among people.

The front wall above the altar is decorated with a cross made of sculptured material, set in a circle. The arms of the cross rise up like tree branches and touch the circle. The cross in the shape of the tree of life symbolizes Christ, the origin of life. Likewise, a Christ icon on the long wall indicates the source of faith.

The cloud relief created by the artist Alois Spichtig occupies the middle of the longitudinal wall. The cloud as a picture of the veil stands for God. According to his own interpretation, the artist recalls God's leadership of the people of Israel on their march through the desert as well as the Transfiguration (Tabor) and the ascension of Jesus.
