St. Victor (Herringen)
The Evangelical Church of St. Victor is a listed church building at Fangstraße 3 in Herringen , a district of Hamm in North Rhine-Westphalia .
History and architecture
A previous church was first mentioned in a document in 1031.
The two-bay hall church with a recently closed two-bay choir was built in the first half of the 14th century. The west tower from the middle of the 12th century still comes from the previous building. The exterior was built from hammer-like, partly greenish sandstone masonry with buttresses and a surrounding coffin cornice . Two-lane tracery windows structure the walls. The three-lane tracery windows in the front wall of the choir were renewed around 1500. The tower was built from slurry stone masonry ; In the upper storey, partially renewed, coupled sound openings with inserted columns are built. The buttresses are more recent. The two-storey sacristy was added in 1901. The nave over a rectangular floor plan is divided into yokes of different lengths by low round supports. Above that, between the profiled belts and encased dividing arches, there are strikingly high, heavily busted cross-ribbed vaults , which were probably renewed around 1500. In the choir, cross- rib vaults with crowns and keystones decorated with vegetal decoration were drawn in over semicircular services and consoles . The western gallery in classicist forms was set back a little in 1952. Securing work caused by mountain damage was carried out in 1984.
Epitaphs
A number of epitaphs are distributed throughout the church . The epitaphs for Anna von Hugenpoet (d. 1604) from the workshop of Hans Lacke and for her daughter Clara Anna (d. 1603) and the panel with the coat of arms of the Duke of Kleve from around 1600 are significant. All work was finished Made of sandstone and decorated with scrollwork . The other grave slabs from the 16th to the 18th century were restored in 1985.
