St. Peter and Clement (Moosham)
St. Petrus und Klemens is a listed Roman Catholic parish church at Kirchbergstrasse 14 in the Moosham district of the municipality of Mintraching in the Regensburg district ( Bavaria ).
Buildings and history
Around 883, Emperor Charlemagne donated the Mosaheim chapel to the Old Chapel in Regensburg . This is the first written mention of a house of worship in Moosham. The list of pastors working in Moosham has been around since 1234.
The church is a hall with a retracted choir and flank tower with a stepped gable and plaster structures. The substructure of the tower of the parish church is dated 1472, the choir 1480. The 38 m high square church tower with its stepped gable was built around 1600. It was also around this time that the retracted Gothic choir was given a barrel vault . For reasons of space, the nave was rebuilt in 1894 and the interior was redesigned in the neo-Romanesque style in the following years .
The high altar carved in 1953 by the Regensburg sculptor Jakob Helmer replaced the neo-Romanesque high altar by Georg Dengler. The side altars, the pulpit, the cross-way panels and the cheeks are neo-Romanesque, as is the ceiling painting in the choir. The painting of the Assumption of Mary and the holy figures of Peter and Clement, which still come from the old broken high altar, which the Kistler Anton Neu fromprüfunging built around 1750, date from the Baroque period. The oldest parts of the facility, a font from the 13th century and the figure of the Mooshamer Madonna from around 1350 are in the Regensburg Diocesan Museum .
War memorial chapel
The former cemetery chapel in front of the church, now the war memorial chapel from the 17th / 18th centuries. Century is a hall building with a half-hip and roof turret and a portal with a tail frame. The chapel was rebuilt around 1920. The cemetery wall dates back to the 17th century.
organ
Inside the church there is a remarkable organ: it was built by Martin Binder . This organ does not appear in Binder's catalog raisonné that he printed himself, which has some gaps. The two organologists Hermann Fischer and Theodor Wohnhaas dated it as a very early work by this organ builder and placed it on the next two of the works built, around 1880, which is undoubtedly appropriate in terms of style. After the organ, Opus 1 in Haindling, is no longer preserved, it would be the oldest surviving organ from Martin Binder. However, there is still one ambiguity: The company sign is not provided with the entry "Martin Binder Orgelbauer in Pfaffenhofen", which was customary at the time, but with "Martin Binder Orgelbauer Regensburg", which points to a later construction time, i.e. to the year 1890. This situation raises many questions about this instrument: Why does it not appear in the printed list of works, which was created by Binder or his nephew Willibald Siemann for advertising purposes? When was this organ really built? Has it been transferred from another church with a new company sign? Was it perhaps only the (defective) company sign that was exchanged for a newer one in the event of a repair, or perhaps even in the event of a possible re-installation after the new building of the nave in 1894? These and other interesting questions have yet to be clarified in recent research. Strangely enough, the relevant places inside the organ are also missing all the usual pencil markings on components that suggest a place of use.
The organ was repaired by Julius Becker in 1907 . In 1953 it was cleaned by Eduard Hirnschrodt in collaboration with the Regensburg voicer Heribert Heick . The flute 4 '(register # 6) was added. After a complete restoration in the spring of 1998 by the organ builder and organ restorer Markus Kotz from Undorf, it is currently in excellent technical condition. The current disposition of the organ with mechanical cone chest is:
