The Parish Church of St. Blaise is the parent parish of all Catholic parishes in the city of Fulda and the last major building, which was built in the baroque period.
History
Shortly after the founding of the monastery of Fulda settled in the immediate vicinity artisans and merchants. To ensure the parochial care, the first church was built around 970, which was probably dedicated to St. Mauritius. 1049 the parish was first mentioned as "market parish" in a document. After a fire in 1103 the church was rebuilt in the Romanesque style. Since the reign of Abbot Conrad of Malkos (1221-1246) St. Blaise is guaranteed as patron of the church.
In the period 1447 to 1470 the church was rebuilt in the Gothic style, of which yet the north-west tower remains today. To the north of it, an ancient stone gate system has remained. There is access to the old parish church cemetery, the one day was around the church. During the Reformation, Adam Krafft preached the new doctrine, which pushed not through. In the time of the Hessian occupation of Fulda to the Counter-Reformation Protestant service was held in the parish church. 1771 was demolished the old church under Prince-Bishop Heinrich von Bibra and started the construction of a baroque church. The plans for this originate from the Jesuit Father Andreas Anderjoch. The consecration took place on 17 August in 1785. 1837 a new organ was installed, which was renewed in 1901.
Architecture
The church was built as a three-aisled basilica in the style of Baroque. It has two towers: on the one hand is the still originating from the previous church north tower, which serves as a bell tower. In the from the Baroque era stemming south tower is the former watchman home of the Fulda watchman, which can be reached via 162 steps. On the by the two towers surrounded west facade is above the main portal the Fulda coat of arms. It is followed by a round-arched window as well as the crest Heinrich von Bibra. Above this crest there is a stone sculpture of St. Blasius.
The high altar was created by the artists Hoys and Wittmann of red-brown Stuckmarmorist (stucco marbling) in conformity with the high altar of Fulda Cathedral. Instead of the altar sheet you will find here a large crucifix yet stemming from the earlier church, thereon again the coat of arms of Heinrich von Bibra. The altar is flanked by two statues of St. Boniface and St. Blaise. The side altars are consecrated to St. Aloysius (this comes from the Fulda Jesuit Church) and St. Boniface.
There are two frescoes by Johann Andreas Herrlein representing the Sermon on the Mount and the expulsion of the merchants from the temple on the vaulted ceiling. In addition, can be found above the Arkardenbögen (arcade archs) medallions with presentations of eight of the twelve apostles.
As part of the roof renovation was discovered at the end of 2000 in the upper east wall of the south aisle a closed with masonry stone head. It turned out to be part (head of Christ) of a former so-called "Mount of Olives", which was demolished during the late Baroque building. The beautiful, expressive stone sculpture in the round, which was hidden in the wall 226 years is to visit in the church today.
Organ
Look at the organ
The organ of the parish church dates from the year 1837. It was reorganized in 2003-2004 by the organ builder Klais Bonn. The instrument has 50 stops on three manuals and pedal. The key action is mechanical, the stop action pneumatic. Since 2004, the instrument has an electronic combination system.
