St. Sylvester is the Roman Catholic parish church in the district of Emmingen in the municipality of Emmingen-Liptingen in the district of Tuttlingen ( Baden-Württemberg ).
history
The parish is first mentioned in the interest register of the Diocese of Constance from 1275. A predecessor to today's St. Sylvester Church was built in 1566; this was replaced in the years 1841/42 by the neo-Romanesque basilica in the Weinbrenner style according to plans by the building inspector Johann Martin, because the old church had become too small for the community. But a tower from 1584 was preserved.
In 1902 the church was painted by the Mezger brothers from Überlingen .
In 1987 the church was painted based on the color scheme from the 19th century by the restorer Richard Harzenetter and the painting company Fritz Schmitz. In 1988 the altars, organ and choir stalls were restored.
Furnishing
The main altar , as well as two side altars, a gift from the patron saint Karl Egon II zu Fürstenberg , come from the Amtenhausen monastery . The three altars were transferred to the new church with 60 carts after they had been dismantled so hastily and improperly that several parts were damaged. When the main altar was dismantled, it was also forgotten to draw up a plan for it. This altar, which happened to fit into the choir on St. Sylvester, was rebuilt there within seven days. It was created by Johann Pöllandt in the course of the Baroqueization of the monastery church under Michael Thumb and is one of his most mature works. In addition to the lower pair of columns of the main part, the two main figures can be seen: St. Sebastian as patron and saint of the coat of arms of the Amtenhausen monastery and St. Georg as patron and saint of the former Benedictine monastery of St. Georgen in the Black Forest . It is noticeable that Sebastian is not shown standing as usual, but in motion, as if he wanted to flee from the arrows that have already hit him. At the feet of the two main characters there is a kneeling angel. The inner pair of pillars is crowned by a figure of St. Benedict with a book and abbot and a representation of the deacon Laurentius with rust and torture palm. The conclusion is formed by the figures of the scholastica with the abbess's staff and the Lioba as head of the German religious province. Between these two figures Joseph can be seen with the baby Jesus and the lily. The original altarpiece was replaced by a painting by Johann Georg Lederer in 1745 . This shows Mary with the child who is putting a ring on the finger of a virgin - presumably Saint Catherine. God the Father hovers over this scene with the Holy Spirit and angels. The picture has a wide baroque frame on which the hands, feet and heart of the crucified Christ are depicted in three dimensions. Above it is a smaller picture showing Joachim , Anna and Maria.
The right side altar is dedicated to St. George. On the left is Katharina with the crown of rays, on the right Barbara with the crown, sword and tower. There is a small picture of Sebastian above the altarpiece. In the gable, the Heart of Jesus is depicted, surrounded by tendrils, on the left the penitent Magdalena , on the right St. Agatha . The image on the predella is from the Renaissance . It depicts Jesus and his disciples sitting at the table while servants serve food. The antependium of the right side altar bears the initials of Maria Gertrudis Schwarz, who was the penultimate abbess of Amtenhausen.
The picture on the left side altar shows the Immaculata with angels who offer her lilies and a golden fleece. It is flanked by the figures of Joachim and Maria on the left and Anna with Maria on the right. The Popes St. Fabian and St. Gregory are also represented on this altar .
The choir grille and the choir stalls also come from Amtenhausen.
A baroque crucifixion group on the north wall of the church is also one of the gifts from the patron saint to the parish. It originally formed the main part of the altar of the court chapel in Meßkirch Castle . Its creator was the Riedlinger sculptor Johann Joseph Christian , who carved it out of lime wood around 1738 and set it in polished white . Mary and Johannes stand mourning next to the cross, a skull and bones lie on the floor.
In the choir arch hangs a crucifix that was created by the sculptor Andreas Keller from Emmingen in 1774.
The baptismal font of the church also dates from the baroque period. It is adorned with a figure of the risen Christ and is chalice-shaped.
organ
The organ goes back to an instrument made by the organ builder Martin Braun from the years 1842–1844. Today's instrument was built in 2003 by the Stehle organ building company in the historic case of the Braun organ. It has 23 stops on two manuals and a pedal . The key action is mechanical, the key action electrically. Some registers of the historic Braun organ from 1844 have been reused.
