Tips

Tevion1505 (Andreas)

June 30, 2021

The small late Romanesque three-aisled pillar basilica with a wide central nave in Gummersbach-Lieberhausen, first mentioned in 1174 as subject to a tenth obligation to the Cologne Severinsstift, is listed in the Liber valoris around 1274 as a Gummersbach chapel before it became an independent parish church in the 14th century. The transept and choir were renewed in the 15th century. Then they started painting the interior of the church. The Reformation reached the place in 1586. From 1589 onwards, the old paintings were repaired for the first time and some new ones were added. What is unique in the Rhineland is that here in Lieberhausen, pre- and post-Reformation paintings can be viewed side by side. The murals and ceiling paintings rediscovered in 1909 (after they had only been whitewashed in the middle of the 19th century) were restored from 1911 to 1913 and again in 1954.

The church in Lieberhausen is a quarry stone building with a west tower, transept and originally rectangular choir, 23.80 m long (with tower), 11.70 m wide. The pillar basilica, dating from the 11th century, is furnished with wall and ceiling paintings, some of which date back to medieval frescoes that were originally made to bring the Christian message to the inexperienced people of the Middle Ages.

The church is surrounded by a typical village square. Good place for a breather.
