Tips from the Community

Heinz K
May 2, 2024, Turmstübl von Rudersdorf

Actually (especially in cities), the Turmstübl is a room at the top of a bell tower for the so-called tower keeper, who was responsible, among other things, for watching over the city, especially in the event of fire, and for ringing the alarm with the bell if necessary. There was probably no tower keeper in the small village of Rudersdorf. Nevertheless, this Turmsübl was brought down from the top of the church tower to the churchyard, where it can be used by everyone - including hikers, cyclists and the children of the village. Have fun here!

According to the tablets, the first documented mention of Rudersdorf dates back to the year 805. However, Rudersdorf was already listed in the Hersfeld Ten List as Rudunestorf. This was drawn up on the occasion of the handover of Hersfeld Abbey to Charlemagne in 775. This gave Hersfeld the status of an imperial abbey. The background to this action was the race between the older Hersfeld Abbey and that of Fulda, which was founded by Hersfeld Abbot Lullus on Bonifacius' behalf. Since Fulda became Bonifacius' burial place as desired, Fulda developed much better and overshadowed Hersfeld, which was crucial when it came to the question "who will be the formal successor to Bonifacius and Bishop of Mainz?" Thanks to this strategically clever action, Lullus actually became Bishop of Mainz in his old age and was "promoted" to Archbishop a few years before his death.

I'm not sure if we really need to seal all bike lanes with bitumen. I'm more for natural paths, even if they are not quite as slippery as the bitumen paths.

In the center of the village is this monument, on which the victims from the community of the two world wars are immortalized.

Historic tombstones of great craftsmanship, partly embedded in the masonry - partly free-standing. I was able to decipher the oldest date with a date of birth of 1700. Unfortunately, a lot is no longer legible.

Two victims from 1870/71 are even remembered here. All the victims of this community from the two world wars are also immortalized.

Die Saalkirche hat einen eingezogenen, polygonal geschlossenen, langen Chor und im Westen den in das Kirchenschiff querrechteckigen eingestellten Kirchturm, der romanischen Ursprungs ist. Nach der Überlieferung wurde der Bau 1496 begonnen und laut Inschrift am Scheitel des Chors 1505 vollendet. Nach einem Brand 1679 wurde sie schrittweise bis 1715 gemäß einer Inschrift mit Unterstützung von Herzog Johann Ernst III. von Sachsen-Weimar und dessen Gemahlin wiederhergestellt und neu ausgestattet. Am Chorpolygon und an der Südseite des Kirchenschiffes sind gotische Fenster ohne Maßwerk. Ihre glatten bzw. profilierten Gewände lassen auf eine unterschiedliche Entstehungszeit schließen. Im Süden befindet sich ein bauzeitliches Portal, sonst gibt es nur jüngere Fenster- und Türöffnungen. An der Nordseite liegen die spätmittelalterliche Sakristei und zwei neuzeitliche Treppen zu den Emporen. Über der Sakristei befindet sich ein kleines Vestibül zur Empore, deren Wände aufgemalte Arkaden zieren. Der Turm wurde im 17. oder 18. Jahrhundert mit einem Walmdach bedeckt, aus dem sich ein achteckiger Aufsatz mit der Turmuhr erhebt. Darauf sitzt eine Haube, die von einer offenen Laterne, in der sich die Glocke befindet, gekrönt. Das Erdgeschoss des Turms ist durch zwei Bögen nach innen geöffnet. Im Innenraum stehen die dreiseitigen, zweigeschossigen Emporen auf durchlaufenden Stützen, die auch das den Mittelraum überspannende hölzerne Tonnengewölbe tragen. Am Scheitel befinden sich drei Gemälde von Christian Wilhelm Ernst Dietrich mit dem Untergang Sodoms und Gomorras, der Taufe Jesu und dem Jüngsten Gericht. Seitlich davon sind Porträtmalereien der Apostel vom selben Maler sowie Inschriften, die an historische und zeitgenössische Ereignisse und an die Deckenmalerei von 1714 erinnern. Die Kirchenausstattung des Chores ist aus dem späten 17. Jahrhundert. Das große Altarretabel hat übereinander angeordnete, volkstümliche Gemälde vom Abendmahl, der Kreuzigung und der Auferstehung Jesu Christi, darüber ein Gesprenge aus Knorpelwerk, bezeichnet mit 1684. Das Hauptbild, eine Kreuzigung, wird eingefasst von zwei Säulenpaaren und zwei geschnitzten Statuetten, die Moses und Johannes den Täufer darstellen. Das hölzerne achtseitige Taufbecken ist mit Knorpelwerk und Kartuschen mit Inschriften, bezeichnet mit 1684. An der Chorsüdseite steht die Kanzel, laut Inschrift am Kanzelaufgang 1687 von Johann Ernst III. gestiftet. Die Schnitzereien am Kanzelkorb zeigen Christus und die Evangelisten und Pilaster mit Hermen. Auf dem Schalldeckel sind christliche Allegorien dargestellt. Die Seitenteile der Kirchenbänke sind mit Szenen aus der Bibel bemalt. Mehrere Epitaphe des 18. Jahrhunderts befinden sich im Inneren und an der Außenwand der Kirche. Die Orgel mit 20 Registern, verteilt auf 2 Manuale und Pedal, wurde 1880 von Adam Eifert gebaut. (Quelle: Wikipedia)
