Evangel. Medarduskirche - Bendorf, RP, Germany - This Old Church on Waymarking.com

[DE] "Die heute evangelische Kirche wurde 1204 erbaut. Im Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde das Gebäude stark beschädigt. Der Neuaufbau von 1954 bis 1956 erfolgte nur teilweise.
Die dreischiffige romanische Pfeilerbasilika mit quadratischem Chor, zwei Doppeljochen und halbrunder Apsis hat eine durch Rundbogenfenster und Lisenen gegliederte Fassade. Der Obergaden wurde im 18. Jahrhundert erhöht. Die Seitenschiffe und das Chorquadrat sind überwölbt, in der Apsis sind unter den Fenstern fünf Nischen ausgespart.
1907 legte man aus der Entstehungszeit der Kirche stammende Wandmalereien frei, sie sich unter der Tünche gut erhalten haben. Die figürlichen Malereien in der Apsis und am Triumphbogen entstanden etwa 50 Jahre später.
Der Turm der Kirche und die Glocken dienen beiden Kirchengemeinden."

[EN] "The today Protestant church was built in 1204. During the Second World War, the building was badly damaged. The rebuilding from 1954 to 1956 was only partial.
The three-aisled Romanesque pillar basilica with square choir, two double bays and semicircular apse has a façade articulated by arched windows and pilaster strips. The clerestory was raised in the 18th century. The side aisles and the choir square are vaulted, in the apse under the windows are five niches recessed.
In 1907, murals dating back to the time when the church was built were laid bare, and they have been well preserved under the whitewash. The figurative paintings in the apse and the triumphal arch were created about 50 years later.
The tower of the church and the bells serve both parishes."
