City Church Ludwigsburg

The Stadtkirche Ludwigsburg is a Protestant church building in the core city of Ludwigsburg .

Building history

The town church was built between 1718 and 1726 by master builder Donato Giuseppe Frisoni as a baroque sermon church on the west side of the market square . As early as 1720, before the two towers were completed, the office of a town zinkist (tower blower) was established, which still exists today.

organ

The organ is of particular importance . After the first instrument (master builder / Schmahl ) a new instrument was built in 1859 by the organ builder Eberhard Friedrich Walcker (Ludwigsburg). In 1889 the organ was installed in a new case, which has been preserved to this day. In 1906 this instrument was expanded from 31 to 51 registers and equipped with pneumatic action. In 1960 the (original) cone chests were removed and replaced with new wind chests; In addition, a Rückpositiv was added and in the course of a change in disposition a considerable part of the pipework was removed, the rest reworked. After the renovation of the town church in 2013, the organ was also given a fundamental overhaul. The technical system was set up on two of the three manuals and in the pedal with historical mechanical Walcker cone chests from 1890, in one manual on a newly built sliding chest. All manual works were equipped with Barker machines based on the model of the Vienna Votive Church. Today the instrument has 51 stops on three manual works and a pedal. The game actions are mechanical, the stop actions are electric. The work in 2015 was carried out by the company Klais (Bonn).

The town church has 7 bells. In the north tower is the historic Herzog-Eberhard-Ludwig bell from 1726, cast by Gottlieb Korn and Leonhard Ernst in Ulm. It has the strike note C, has a diameter of 150 cm and a weight of 2150 kg. It sounds on Sundays and public holidays.

In the south tower there are 4 bells from the Kurtz foundry in Stuttgart: praying bell with striking tone es´ from 1952, cross bell with striking tone g´, character bell with striking tone b´ and baptismal bell with striking tone c´´, all from 1957.

In the tower lantern of the south tower there are still 2 small immobile bells, which each strike the quarter-hour of the tower clock. The smaller bell, diameter 37 cm, is from 1657, cast by Hans Diebold Allgeyer, Ulm, the larger bell, diameter 48 cm, is from 1716, cast by Christian Günther zu Königsbronn. It is not known whether these bells previously hung elsewhere and when they came to the town church.
