St. Urban (Mündt)
St. Urban is the Roman Catholic parish church in the Mündt district of the municipality of Titz in the Düren district ( North Rhine-Westphalia ). It is the oldest preserved church building in the Jülich region.
The church is registered under number 21 in the list of monuments of the municipality of Titz and is dedicated to St. Urban I. consecrated.
history
A church in Mündt was first mentioned in a document in 650. The church was probably originally dedicated to St. Martin von Tours consecrated, as indicated by the bell inscription on the Martinus bell. It is not known what this place of worship looked like.
In the 10th century a completely new church in the style of the early Romanesque was built. Parts of the nave, the basement of the tower, the choir and the semicircular apse have been preserved. What is particularly noteworthy next to the choir is the structure of the north wall. In the Liber valoris from around 1300, Mündt was run as an independent parish . In the Thirty Years War , allegedly in 1642, the Romanesque church was burned down by the Hessians. In the 1680s, the church was rebuilt in the post-Gothic and Baroque styles using the preserved parts . During this time the tower was given the top floor. Since then, nothing has been changed structurally on the building.
architecture
The parish church of St. Urban is an early Romanesque-post-Gothic-Baroque three-aisled hall church with a retracted, two-story bell tower in the west and a Romanesque choir with apse in the east. The windows of the nave have two-lane tracery . The Romanesque components are made of tuff , while the Baroque components are made of bricks. The central and north aisle is vaulted by a ribbed vault, while the south aisle has a flat ceiling.
Furnishing
The two baroque side altars and the richly decorated pulpit are worth mentioning. Of these, the north side altar and the pulpit are works from Dortmund that came to Mündt in 1685. The stained glass windows of the church were created by Hans Mennekes in 1955 . They show the church patron Urban I. and stations from the life of Jesus.
Bells
In the bell tower there are three bronze bells , two of which date from the 17th century. The Urbanus bells from 1971 replaces a bell from 1826 that was cast by Peter Boitel and melted down in one of the two world wars.
