Weinbergskirche (Dresden)
The Weinbergskirche is a sacred building built in the 20th century in the Saxon state capital Dresden . It is located in the Trachenberge district and belongs to the Evangelical - Lutheran Laurentius Church community Dresden- Trachau .
history
Trachenberge was first mentioned in 1446 as a vineyard of Dresden Augustinian monks . Whitsun 1539 the first Evangelical Lutheran service was celebrated in Kaditz . The Trachenberge area also belonged to this community.
Due to the growing population of Trachenberge, the first church chief was sent to the Kaditz community as a representative in 1868. 16 years later, in 1884, the branch community Pieschen with Trachenberge separated from the Kaditz community under the name St. Markus. Before that, church services “in the old school” had already taken place on New Year's Eve on Döbelner Strasse. From 1887 reading services were held there regularly. In 1888 the neo-Gothic St. Mark's Church in Pieschen was inaugurated .
On the second Advent of 1891, the newly built gym at Döbelner Straße 8 was inaugurated as a prayer room for the community with a church service in order to be able to look after the rapidly growing local population. In 1903 Trachenberge had its own pastor for the first time, and its own church registers were also kept for the first time . The growing independence brought about the final separation from the Markus parish in 1915.
On Sunday October 1930, a church was consecrated on the Grüner Zipfel at what is now Albert-Hensel- Strasse. The church was named Weinbergskirche, following the tradition of the place . The parish hall was a half-timbered building ; a representative new building could not be financed. The church was also called the emergency church . The community also had its own bell ringing for the first time. This came from the bells of the Dresden Horticultural Exhibition of 1928 (cast by the Bochumer Verein ) and is tuned in d, f and g.
A good 16 years later, on October 23, 1946, the Weinbergskirche burned down completely due to what was probably a fire . Only the bells that fell into the church and the crucifix could be saved.
On Reformation Day 1947, Regional Bishop Hugo Hahn laid the foundation stone for a new bell tower, the first reconstruction of a church building in Dresden after the war. The bell tower was inaugurated on Reformation Day in 1950. It consists of blocks from various destroyed churches such as the former Johanneskirche and the Dreikönigskirche . The bell tower was thus also a memorial to destruction and reconstruction.
On Trinity Sunday 1958 the inauguration of today's vineyard church by the architect Günter Schöneberg took place. The church, a sober reinforced concrete structure, had space for 450 people at that time. The congregation consisted of 15,000 members. Nine years later the church received an organ from the Jehmlich workshop with 22 registers.
In the 1970s the Weinbergskirche was a center of open youth work , from 1977 Pastor Wonneberger looked after conscientious objectors . Numerous cultural events also took place in the church. The well-known GDR rock band Lift also rehearsed in the church at times . In 1981 a group that met here started the “ Social Peace Service ” initiative .
In 1997 the congregation still had 1,100 members.
In November 2011 the entire electrical system of the church had to be taken out of service for safety reasons. In 2012 the church was closed for all events. After a thorough renovation, the church was reopened on October 31, 2014 as an energy self-sufficient building. The building is heated with heat from wastewater. An expanded photovoltaic system supplies the electricity required for the heat pumps . The total cost of the renovation is estimated at 930,000 euros.
Furnishing
The crucifix is from the first building in 1930 . In the church there is an altar and a baptismal font made of Rochlitz travertine , created by Helmut Schleider. A sundial designed and donated by astronomy professor Hans-Ullrich Sandig is attached to the east facade .
Peal
The ringing consists of three cast steel bells , the bell frame and the bell yokes are made of steel. Below is a data overview of the bell:
| No. | Casting date | Caster | diameter | Dimensions | material | Chime |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1928 | Bell foundry Bochumer Verein | Cast steel | 1485 mm | 1364 kg | d ′ |
| 2 | 1928 | Bell foundry Bochumer Verein | Cast steel | 1325 mm | 1019 kg | f ′ |
| 3 | 1928 | Bell foundry Bochumer Verein | Cast steel | 1185 mm | 709 kg | G' |
Photovoltaic system
A photovoltaic system with a total area of 72 square meters (81 modules) has been located on the south side of the roof since 2002 . Under optimal conditions, this system produces a maximum output of 8.5 kilowatts of electricity (8.5 kWp ). This is then converted into alternating current by three inverters and fed into the public grid. The system was financed by parishioners, funds from the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Saxony , DREWAG and funding from the German Federal Environment Foundation .
KulturKirche Weinberg Dresden-Trachenberge e. V.
Since the beginning of 2008, residents of the Trachenberge district of Dresden have been meeting under the working title KulturKirche Weinberg Dresden-Trachenberge . Its aim is to bring the Weinbergskirche more into the focus of the public. On June 9, 2009 this became the association KulturKirche Weinberg Dresden-Trachenberge e. V.
