Market Church of the Holy Spirit in Clausthal-Zellerfeld
- Written by Portal Editor
After driving along the Oker Reservoir we had driven up to the mountain town of Clausthal-Zellerfeld, where we wanted to look at the now fully restored Market Church of the Holy Spirit.
So many people will think and say, oh, what can be so special about a small town church that you should drive a certain distance for it. However, one should know that the Evangelic Lutheran Church of the Holy Spirit in Clausthal-Zellerfeld is the largest wooden church in Germany and due to its architecture and interior design is one of the most important architectural monuments of North German Baroque.
Ecological building with wood - stability guaranteed
Wooden arts in Clausthal-Zellerfeld - the Marktkirche
The verses 37 - 39 from the Gospel of Matthew
„DV SOLT LIEBEN GOTT DEINEN HERRN VON GANTZEM HERTZEN VON GANTZER SEELEN VON GANTZEM GEMVTHE; VND DEINEN NECHSTEN ALS DICH SELBST“
More than 7 years for the restoration of the Marktkirche
For more than 7 years the restoration of the market church of Clausthal-Zellerfeld has been carried out. Already in 2008 the reconstruction of the church tower was completed. The entire outer facade is painted in a light shade of gray, here too nothing colorful or unusual except for the widely visible lantern pair of roof riders on the western roof termination and on the square belfry with its Welschen hood. The entire restoration work was jointly funded by public funds and private donations.
It is an amazing building that over the centuries has weathered all the bettors and events in history. One more reason to take a closer look at this masterpiece of wood construction technology.
