St. Marien in Paderborn-Neuenbeken

St. Marien is a Catholic parish church in Paderborn-Neuenbeken in the district of Paderborn, North Rhine-Westphalia. The church and community belong to the Deanery Eggevorland in the Archdiocese of Paderborn.

The church is a Romanesque vault from the beginning of the 13th century. The building with nave and transept has the shape of a Latin cross in the floor plan. St. Marien in its current form is probably the third church building here. In 2009/10 there was a comprehensive restoration.

The church is single -nave and the nave is one of the nave. The transept has niches in the east wall; The choir is just closed. A sacristy is grown in the north; In the west there is a 28 m high square tower with a gable roof and roof rider. The church’s cross vaults rest on wall and cornerstones and are divided by round belt and dazzling arches. The sheet in the transept is pointed arch. The sacristy is spanned by a barrel vault with stitch caps.
The windows are round arch, as are the sound holes in the tower.

The west portal, which has been changed several times, is crowned by a Pietá donated in 1666. In 1914/18 it was redesigned as a cenotaph for the fallen from 1864.
The portal in the northern transept, on the other hand, is preserved in its original form. It is round arch with cornerstones. A crucifixion group is shown in the Tympanon.

St. Marien has five bronze bells, the oldest of which dates from 1781. It has a diameter of 115 cm. Shortly before, in 1776, the church tower burned. The inscription of the old bell testifies to this:

This Air Campania after the fire / second made in the year 1781
(The melted ore of this bell is restored after the fire in 1781)
The bell founder Master Fricken is also mentioned.

The other four bells were created in the Petit and Edelbrock bell foundry in the 1960s: [first]

Fragments of Romanesque wall paintings are preserved on the church walls. [2] Neuromanic paintings were removed in 1961–1964. The painting from the early 13th century was voted the monument of the month in Westphalia-Lippe in September 2011 by the LWL monument preservation, landscape and building culture in Westphalia. [3] Are particularly worth mentioning:

Jesus is represented with eleven disciples with a halo and his favorite disciple Johannes on the chest. Judas crouches in front of the table and enough to eat Jesus. So here are shown with Judas 13 disciples.
  • The image of the cross acceptance on the west wall of the southern transept.
The body of Christ is supported by Joseph von Arimatäa, while Maria takes her son’s right hand. The nails with which Jesus was hit on the cross are removed by two helpers using a pliers. To the right of this is the grieving disciple of Johannes. On the very outside you can see the two shaves on their crosses. The good links can be seen through the angel over his head, the evil on the right is a devil.
  • The mandorla with the enthroned Christ in the choir vault
The symbols of the four evangelists are shown on the right and left of the Savior. Originally, only fragments were preserved here, which were supplemented as a complete picture in the course of the renovation. [4]

Building the neuromanic high altar
  • The neuromanic high altar
The altar structure comes from 1900, the paintings and reliefs were created in the Wagenbrenner and Krietemeyer artist workshop. A special feature is the rotary and sliding mechanism, which allows different scenes to be presented alternately and thus adapt it to the church year. In March 2017, the altar attachment, which was extensively restored in 2014/2015, was awarded the monument to the month in Westphalia-Lippe. [5]
Franz Knack from Münster created today’s choral window in 1952 as a replacement for an original window destroyed in World War II. In the upper area, the trinity is shown: Godfather as an old man, the pigeon for the Holy Spirit. Jesus as a child occupies a central position. Maria and Joseph sit down and look at the child, who has risen from the crib.
The baptismal font with baptismal font from 1665
Berhard Witte donated the baptismal font in 1665, which stand in the southern transept. However, the substructure is not preserved in the original, it was reconstructed according to the submission of similar baptismal stones. The baptismal basin carries a Latin inscription that translates as follows:
The most worthy of Father Bernhard Witte, provost to St. Marien and Prior of the Order of Malta in Prague donated this in 1665. [6]
  • The door between the sacristy and choir
It comes from the time of the Gothic and shows square fillings.
A Mariian sculpture hangs in the arch between the nave and crossing. The work of art from the first half of the 18th century shows the crowned Blessed Mother, standing on a globe. She holds a scepter in her right hand and puts a foot on a snake. The child of Jesus on her arm pushes a lance into the throat of the snake. Above the figure, a pigeon hovers as a symbol of the Holy Spirit, from which a ray wreath runs out.
The two figures on the pillars to the choir were probably part of a baroque high altar.
The following statues are attached to the four pillars of the nave:
Elisabeth of Thuringia (1995 by Bruno Vienatzer)
Saint Antonius of Padua (18th century)
Saint Joseph (1926)
Saint Aloisius of Gonzaga (1926)
