history
While the church in Bamlach ("ecclesia in Bammenanch") is mentioned for the first time in 1275, a pastor Konrad is even mentioned in 1227 in a document from the Münster monastery, today in the canton of Aargau .
The oldest part of the Bamlach church that is still preserved today is the tower from the 14th or 15th century. In the cross vault, four identical coats of arms of Freiherr von Rotberg in the keystone remind of the patron saint. This tower was taken over when it was rebuilt in 1716; only the nave was enlarged and rebuilt in the same place. In the years 1885 to 1886, the nave was demolished again in order to add it to the east of the old tower in neo-Gothic style. Between the bell tower and the new nave, a piece of the choir from the second church has been preserved. The church was consecrated in 1890.
During the Second World War , the roof and the windows of the church were badly damaged. After the end of the war only makeshift repairs were carried out. It was not until 1968 to 1969 that extensive renovation measures could be carried out in which new glazing was carried out and a new ceiling was put in. In the 1970s, the baptismal font, tabernacle, ambo and altar were replaced with more modern inventory. In 1981 the exterior renovation work was completed.
description
Church building
The Bamlach church consists of a medieval, three-story tower and a neo-Gothic nave. Between the two structures there is a narrower and lower section of the nave, which, as a remnant of the previous church, serves as an intermediate piece between the tower hall and the actual nave. This threefold structure with the bell tower, which is low in relation to the height of the nave, gives the church an overall massive and rather squat appearance. All three structures are covered by saddle roofs that run parallel to one another . On the other hand, it is hipped over the polygonal choir to the east of the nave . The buttresses , which protrude from the choir, the structure on the bell tower and the nave, are formative for the church .
The ogival main portal is located on the west side of the bell tower . On the upper floor it has a round arched sound arcade on all sides . There is a round clock face of the tower clock on each of the gable ends. At the top and at the ends of the roof edge, three smaller, simple crosses - the outer one made of stone, the inner one made of metal - crown the gable roof.
Interior and outfit
The ogival main portal of the church is located in the bell tower to the west. The tower hall, which was used as a choir in the previous church, houses three epitaphs . They remember Wolf Sigmund von Rotberg, the then Lord of Bamlach and Rheinweiler († April 23, 1591), his wife Esther von Rotberg, b. Schönau († November 23, 1586) and the Freiherr von Rotberg, Ignaz Sigmund, a later lord of Bamlach and Rheinweiler († March 3, 1586). A memorial plaque honors Pastor Wilhelm Anseln († December 8, 1902), who pushed ahead with the construction of the church between 1885 and 1886. In this vestibule there is also an ogival window and a staircase that leads to the west gallery. To the right of the staircase is a small altar with a Pietà .
The nave is covered with a flat wooden ceiling. There are five ogival windows on the southern long side and four on the northern side. There is also a small side portal on the south side. The nave and choir are connected by a triumphal arch . To the left of the arch are two statues on consoles , which represent the patron saints, Saints Peter and Paul. To the right of the passage there is a side altar that shows Mary with the baby Jesus.
The baroque font was given a bronze lid in 1976 by the Freiburg sculptor Karl Rißler . The altar, ambo and tabernacle were designed by Hubert Bernhard.
organ
Since 2012 there is a new organ in the church . It replaces an instrument that was created in 1890 by the organ builder FW Schwarz from Überlingen for the parish church in Kenzingen and was only adapted for the church in Bamlach in 1965 by the organ builder August Späth . The cone store instrument had 19 stops on two manuals and a pedal. The new instrument was built in collaboration between the organ builders Claudius Winterhalter (Oberharmersbach) and Thomas Jann (Laberweinting). The organ has 23 registers (and three transmissions ) on two manuals and pedal . The game contractures are mechanically, the Registertrakturen are electric.
