St. Vincentius (Dinslaken)
The Catholic parish church of St. Vincentius is a listed church building in Dinslaken , a town in the Wesel district ( North Rhine-Westphalia ).
History and architecture
Originally there was only one chapel in Dinslaken, which was first mentioned in 1390. In 1436 the Duke of Kleve confirmed Dinslaken's parish from the mother church in Hiesfeld . In 1437 a pastor was first mentioned in Dinslaken. Finally, in the middle of the 15th century, a parish church was built. This was a late Gothic three-aisled hall church with a 5/8 choir closure. The mighty tower has been flanked by two chapels since 1492 and 1512 and was given a new hood in Baroque shapes in 1924. This church was partially destroyed in 1945 and was the predecessor of today's St. Vincentius Church.
The three-aisled , west-facing brick hall was built from 1950 to 1951 according to plans by Otto Bongartz from Cologne. The two eastern yokes made of field fire bricks and the eastern choir of the previous church, broken into five sides of the octagon, were included. In the Gothic part of the new building, the floor was raised and the polygon was turned into a baptistery .
Furnishing
High altar
On the high altar in the new west choir is a carved retable from the period after 1470 with painted wings. It was made in a workshop in Brussels. Representations of the Passion can be seen in the shrine and on the inside of the wings . The four evangelists are depicted on the outside of the wing . The stipes and the predella with decorative figures were built by Ch. Stephan in 1853. The shrine was re- polychromed from 1852 to 1854 , the paintings were restored in 1883. From 1950 to 1952 the neo-Gothic demolition was eliminated.
Triumphal cross
The emergence of the triumphal cross with a large high quality crucifix is dated differently. It used to be considered a Rhineland work of the beginning so-called beautiful style from around 1400, in which the type of the Cologne forked cross was modeled, more recent publications, on the other hand, assign it more to Meuse crosses from the Diocese of Liège from around 1310/40. After being damaged in the Second World War, the cross was restored several times (1950, 2010), and the remains of an older version were uncovered on the body .
organ
The organ was built in 1999 by the organ building company Romanus Seifert from Kevelaer based on a concept by the organist Wolfgang Seifen . The French-Romantic instrument has 33 stops on two manuals and a pedal . The second manual (Récit) is swellable . The game actions are mechanical, the stop actions are electric. The organ is equipped with an 800-fold electronic composer system.

Three crosses
The so-called three crosses have been standing under an emergency roof on the church tower since 1985 . There are three heavily weathered, late Gothic sculptures made of Baumberger sandstone . Like the group in Metelen, Westphalia, they probably come from a workshop in Wesel. At the former location on Walsumer Straße there are now copies. Originally this was the end of a Bittweg donated in 1501 in Wesel. The sculptures were demolished in 1588 and, according to the inscriptions, erected in Dinslaken in 1652. The Christ head was renewed at the beginning of the 20th century. Extensive restoration was carried out from 1966 to 1967 and from 1984 to 1985.
Other equipment
- Neo-Gothic carved side altars : Marienaltar, 1891/92 by F. Langenberg , Josefs Altar by Christoph Stephan, Cologne, around 1853.
- The goblet-shaped font from the 15th century, covered with tracery , is made of sandstone. It was heavily revised after war damage
- The colored wooden Easter candlestick was made in 1682 in the form of a winding column.
- Two carved angels holding Christ's coat of arms date from the end of the 15th century. The socket is destroyed, the wings have been renewed.

Bells
There are currently six bells in the tower, two of which (Vincentius and Maria) were cast in the old market in 1785 in the Petit family's foundry, the smallest was probably cast in the Netherlands. The largest bell was added in 1954 after the tower was rebuilt, while 2 bells were added in 2007, which had previously hung in the Christ Church in Dinslaken, but had no function after the church was closed and demolished & were then given to the Vincentius parish.
