The Protestant Church of St. Servatius is, in addition to the Catholic basilica and provost church of St. Cyriakus, a main church in Duderstadt and the Untereichsfeld . It forms the western, lower end point of Marktstrasse, which widens here like a square, and is therefore also called "Lower Church" in the city.
architecture
St. Servatius is an east - facing three-aisled Gothic hall church with six bays . The choir with a 5/8 end has a ribbed vault , the nave a net-like star vault . This is supported with short services on ornate consoles on slim octagonal pillars. The tower is square in plan and has a helmet with a slim central cone and four corner points.
Building history
Around the year 1000 was in the area of St. Servatius a Saxon royal court of the royal palace Quedlinburg was assigned and its chapel, like the collegiate church of Quedlinburg , which Servatius - patronage wore.
The oldest part of today's church is the choir, which is dated around 1370. The nave was added to this in the second half of the 15th century. The tower dates from the first half of the 16th century and was extended and redesigned after a fire. The design for this was created by the Hanoverian Karl Siebrecht in 1928. The church is built from sandstone blocks that were mostly quarried in quarries on the Sonnenstein .
Organs
The organ of the church, which was built by the organ builder Jürgen Ahrend from Leer-Loga in 1977, achieved international fame . It has 28 registers , which are divided into main work, upper work, breast work and pedal , and at the time of its completion it was the largest organ that Ahrend had built in the Lower Saxony region.
In addition to being used in church services, the instrument is also used at concerts, organ music seminars and training events. In 1991, Ahrend made a chest organ with four registers for various accompanying purposes , which can also be found in the church.
The large organ has the following disposition :

Bells
In 1957 the Servatius Church received its beautiful ringing from Friedrich Wilhelm Schilling from Heidelberg, which is made to ring with a differentiated ringing order. The bells are coordinated with the peal of the Catholic Basilica of St. Cyriakus and form a common city peal. On the day before the Sunday and feast days, both churches ring the bell together at 2 p.m., in different combinations depending on the church season.
