The official name is ドイツ語:Neustädter Hof- und Stadtkirche St. Johannis zu Hannover (St. John's Church of the court and the city in the New Town at Hanover). The Baroque church was built in 1666–70. It is one of the oldest Protestant Saalkirche (Aisleless church) in Lower Saxony, conceived for the sermon as the main act of Lutheran church service. Mathematician and philosopher Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz and general Carl August von Alten are buried here. The church is known for its church music, performed in service and concert by the ドイツ語:Kantorei St. Johannis (St. John's chorale), and serves as a venue for concerts, for example in the context of the Expo 2000 and the ''ドイツ語:Kirchentag''. It houses a "Spanish organ", suitable for early Baroque music, in collaboration with the ドイツ語:Hochschule für Musik und Theater Hannover. == History == The church is the successor of a castle chapel of St. Gall, founded by the Counts of Lauenrode for their castle, first mentioned in 1241 as "ラテン語:ecclesia Galli". After the destruction of the castle during the Lüneburg War of Succession, a new chapel was built before 1388 by Cord van Alten on the Rosmarinhof within the Hanover town walls, close to the present location of the church. It was dedicated to Mary (''ラテン語:beatissime Marie Virginis''). In 1396, Bishop Otto of Minden made it the Kollegiat- und Pfarrkirche (collegiate and parish church) of the ドイツ語:Calenberger Neustadt, the new part of the town south of the Leine. The church became Lutheran in 1533.〔 John Frederick, Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg, converted to Catholicism in 1651. When he took over the Principality of Calenberg in 1665, the court chapel in the ドイツ語:Leineschloss was converted to Catholic, and the Protestant members of the court needed a new church.〔〔 It was built from 1666 to 1670 in the ドイツ語:Calenberger Neustadt, across the Leine from the ドイツ語:Altstadt (old town), across the river from the ドイツ語:Leineschloss, then the courtly residence. The church was designed in Baroque style, probably by the Venetian architect Girolamo Sartorio, the duke's ドイツ語:Bauverwalter, who didn't follow models but built a hall focused on the sermon.〔 The architect was the duke's "ドイツ語:Hofbauschreiber" Brand Westermann.〔 The building was financed by the duke and the representatives of the Principality of Calenberg, and to a large extent by the early capitalist merchant and banker John Duve. Material from a former chapel of St. Gall in the old town was reused.〔 The church was the burial site for members of the court.〔 Since the original tower was in danger of collapsing, a new tower was erected above the west portal from 1691 to 1700. The landmark has a square base, an octagonal upper floor and a copper-roofed cupola with lantern and apex.〔 The Neustädter Kirche was until 1936 the church of the General Superintendent.〔 Johann Adolf Schlegel was superintendent from 1775 until his death in 1793.〔 In World War II, air raids heavily damaged the church; only the exterior walls remained. A reconstruction was carried out 1956–58〔〔 in simple form, led by Wilhelm Ziegeler.〔 A renovation of the interior 1992/94 was closer to the original concept and restored some of the surviving Baroque features.〔〔 The Baroque interior was not restored completely, but preserved parts of the original furnishings; statues and images of Christ, angels, and saints, as well as allegorical figures, portraits, and monuments, were combined and rearranged with modern elements. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Neustädter Kirche, Hanover」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
