About :
Tone sequence: fis'-gis'-a'-h'-c'' The two large bells were cast in 1605 and 1596 by Melchior Möringk in Erfurt. Bell 3 (1840) is the work of the Laucha foundry Johann Heinrich Ulrich, bell 4 (1697) by the Zeitz master Jobst Wilhelm Hornemann. The smallest bell from Lauchhammer followed in 2010. Bells 1, 2 and 4 and three other discarded instruments come from devastated places in the surrounding area. Four other bells from the 15th, 17th and 20th centuries are stored in or in front of the church. --- The first mention of a church in Hohenmölsen dates back to 1236. The medieval church building fell victim to a town fire in 1576, after which a new building was built from 1592 to 1594, which in turn burned down in 1639. The current building was finally built between 1652 and 1661. A sacristy was added in 1693/94. The 46-meter-high square west tower has an unevenly octagonal bell chamber; its baroque lantern helmet was replaced by a simple pointed helmet in 1875. The most valuable piece of equipment is the late Gothic winged altar, created around 1490, which came to Hohenmölsen from Magdeburg Cathedral in 1664. On the south side there is another altar from the 16th century. The baptismal font is also from the late Gothic period. The organ (24/II/P), last restored in 1998, is an almost original work by Friedrich Ladegast from 1851. --- Hohenmölsen is a small town in the Burgenland district, located about halfway between Weißenfels in the northwest and Zeitz in the southeast. A castle ward was first mentioned in 1091; In 1284 it was granted market rights. In 1558 and 1578, fires destroyed the town almost completely. To the east of the town, which has a population of almost 9,300, are the two open-cast lignite mines Profen-Nord and Profen-Süd. --- The photos were taken on March 25, 2023. Many thanks to the Rohr couple for making this possible!
