Spelling

Is this the Mariä Krönung or the Maria Krönung? Sources disagree, but it seems to me that the extra umlaut is found in the more reliable ones... HLHJ (talk) 04:49, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I moved it. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:35, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I wasn't really sure. HLHJ (talk) 02:04, 6 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Statue identity?

Is this statue: https://www.deutsche-digitale-bibliothek.de/item/IU72DC55QD4AJLUTU7MPJBGVYCRNUSN3 the one said to have been found by the shepherd? HLHJ (talk) 02:04, 6 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Organ

At the west end: https://www.deutsche-digitale-bibliothek.de/item/OHRV5MC3XVWOP7RCS3SGMMXRDTTFKYTO Probably it's in a database somewhere... HLHJ (talk) 02:17, 6 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Rood loft, rood screen?

I'm a bit uncertain about calling the structure a rood screen, as the actual ~screening structure seems to be a stone wall, and thus not really a screen at all (screen implying something more light, portable, or pierced). When I think rood screen I think wood or metal tracery. It's certainly a rood loft, and we could use that term instead. Open to argument here. HLHJ (talk) 03:04, 6 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

On terminology, notes to self: rood is an archaeic English word for a rod or pole (cognate of the German "Rute"), later used to refer to the cross upon which Jesus was crucified (e.g. The Dream of the Rood). This meaning has also fallen out of general use: speaking of "the Rood" rather than "the True Cross" marks you as a religious scholar of historical bent. In church architecture, there is a modern meaning: a rood is a crucifix, specifically the one usually located under the chancel arch or in a spatially similar position (Triumphkreuz or Fronbogenkreuz). Since no-one knows what "rood" means any more, the rood is often referred to somewhat pleonasmically as the "rood cross". The rood was originally hung from the chancel arch, but was later often supported from below (as here: you can see the cross just behind the chandelier in the photos).

Later churches had assorted chancel screens: templons, pulpitum screens, and rood screens. The rood screen is directly under the rood, filling the chancel arch below the rood beam: it has a door or wicket in it, allowing passage between the nave crossing and the chancel. Rood lofts provide access to the rood (so you can cover it for lent, clean it, etc); they also came to serve liturgical purposes.

Assorted religious movements, Catholic and Protestant, both favoured and opposed rood screens, so they got destroyed a lot. If this one is not an 1800s reconstruction, I assume that it escaped because, firstly, it seems to be made of stone and built into the fabric of the church, and secondly, it does not actually visually screen the high altar from the nave much, which makes a lot of the religious rationales for removal nugatory.

The Thomas source says "Die Empore der Verkündigung über dem Altar dient gleichzeitig als Trennwand zwischen den Altären und dem hinteren Teil der Kirche"; I think "Empore" here has to refer to the rood loft, although the high altar is obviously not under the rood loft, in the pictures; both can be seen. The side altars are under the loft. It also says "Die einzigartigen Glasbilder, die Empore über dem Hochaltar, die Flügelaltäre und das Wallfahrtskapellchen im Innenraum haben die von vielen Kriegen heimgesuchten Jahrhunderte unbeschadet überstanden", which at least implies that the rood loft is centuries old...

I learned a lot. So far, I just thought naively that rood screen is the translation of the German de:Lettner which means the separation between lay area and friars' area, be it a wall or a screen, and yes, typically somehow combined with a large standing or hanging cross. Our article on rood screen seems to support that. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:54, 10 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Empore here seems just to mean "elevated", as a pulpit would be. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:56, 10 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Aren't technical terms that don't quite translate precisely fun? Apparently it's also called a choir screen, chancel screen, or jubé. I give up on fussing about the English terminology. I don't think it's clearly defined anyway. I assumed that "Empore" meant "gallery", like a triforium... but there is no triforium in this church. Triforia used to be used for market stalls, so a root of "emporium" (trading place) would make some sense. HLHJ (talk) 18:42, 15 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Gnadenkapelle

According to the Thomas source, the church was built around the former chapel, and only then the chapel replaced. I am not sure if that is enough of a sourcing. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:06, 10 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It seems unlikely that they moved it, and it looks structurally plausible that it's a stand-alone structure. HLHJ (talk) 18:43, 15 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
