St. Katharina Parish Church, Isenburg
Highlight • Religious Site
The Isenburg parish church has been located in an exposed position on a mountain saddle high above the village for over 760 years. A church complex is mentioned for the first time in May 1235 in a deed of foundation "Heinrichs von Kobern", in which he donates the Capella parachialis de Isenburch (parish chapel to Isenburg) an annual interest of 12 Cologne solids from his estates in Cutsheid. The church was initially built as a castle chapel by the Lords of Isenburg in the immediate vicinity of their fortified castle complex. In their truce they stated in 1334, "that we have our church in Ysenburgh haldin soellen yn all of the Eren and in all the right, as id our aldern holds on us". In 1925 the church choir was referred to in a letter from the church council to the minister for science, art and education as the choir of the castle church of the Counts of Isenburg.
Since the year 1327 up to the present day St. Katharina the church patroness.
According to the aforementioned truce, the right of patronage lay with the eldest Lord von Isenburg. After the death of Count Ernst von Isenburg it passed to the barons of Walderdorff. Between 1574 and 1628, Count zu Wied used the Isenburg parish church for Reformed worship. But the Lords of Isenburg prevailed and gave the Church back to the Catholics. Later attempts by the Wieder towards the Walderdorffs to take control of the church also failed. So the Isenburg parish church remained a Catholic church.
