The Carmelite Church of St Joseph at Beilstein, Germany.
North aisle altar.
The Carmelite Church of St. Josef in Beilstein, a municipality in the Cochem-Zell district in Rhineland-Palatinate, was built in the Baroque style at the end of the 17th and the beginning of the 18th century. Since the secularization of the Carmelite monastery, the church consecrated to St. Joseph has been used as a parish church. The church has a statue of Mary from the 12th / 13th centuries. Century, venerated as the Black Madonna by Beilstein and probably comes from Spain.
History
A first church below the castle is documented in Beilstein for the year 1311, which was initially under the parish of Ellenz. Under Archbishop Balduin von Trier, the church was raised to an independent parish and consecrated to Jesus Christ, Mary and St. Christopher. During the Reformation the place had become Protestant because the lords of the castle at that time, the lords of Winneburg, had converted to the Protestant faith. After the Winneburgers died out during the Thirty Years War, the property passed to the Barons von Metternich. Baron Philipp Emmerich von Metternich, Provost of Trier, Fathers of the Discalced Carmelites from Cologne, settled in Beilstein as early as 1635 in order to promote the re-Catholicization of the place. A building on the Moselle, today's Gasthaus Zur Burg Metternich, was initially made available to them. In 1686 the foundation stone was laid for a new monastery on the Rammerberg, which could be moved into in 1692. In 1691 the construction of the monastery church began under the master builder David Wynant from the Augustinian canons of Springiersbach, which was consecrated in 1738 by Auxiliary Bishop Lothar Friedrich von Nalbach .
After the French conquest of the left bank of the Rhine in 1794, the rule of Beilstein came to France and after the Congress of Vienna became part of the Prussian Rhine Province. In 1803 the monastery was closed and the former monastery church became the parish church. In 1808 the last priests left the monastery. In 1819 the south wing of the monastery building and the cloister were demolished and the stones were reused as building material. At the beginning of the 20th century, the renovation of the church began. In 1948 Carmelite Fathers again moved into the monastery in Beilstein and in 1950 the miraculous image of the Black Madonna, which had meanwhile reached the Diocesan Museum in Trier, was brought back to the Beilstein church in a solemn procession. From 1987 further restorations were carried out. During the interior renovation in 1994, the original color scheme was restored.
Architecture
The plastered from quarry stone built hall church is of a pitched roof covered, that of a plain roof turret is crowned. The three-aisled nave is divided into five bays. The main nave and the two side aisles are spanned by groin vaults with strong belt and shield arches. These rest on mighty columns supported by high, octagonal plinths. The three-bay choir adjoins it in the east. The area reserved for the priests is delimited by the high altar.
Window
The lead glass window depicting the Adoration of the Shepherds probably still belongs to the original glazing. A copper engraving by Peter Paul Rubens from around 1620 (today in the Staatliche Kunsthalle Karlsruhe ) served as a template. The scene is titled Nativitas D´ni Nostri Iesu Christi (Birth of our Lord Jesus Christ).
Furnishing
The central niche of the 14 meter high walnut high altar houses a sculpture of St. Joseph, the patron saint of the church, who carries the baby Jesus in his arms. The Holy Family is shown on the oval excerpt.
The seven-sided pulpit is divided into narrow corner columns. The sound cover is crowned by volutes that carry a monstrance .
The five confessionals are decorated with flat carvings and equipped with magnificent gable attachments.
The sculpture Christ on the Mount of Olives, kneeling under a canopy in front of a central nave column, dates from the first half of the 18th century .
Another work from the Baroque period is the somewhat rural Pietà on the opposite column.
The oldest piece of equipment is the Black Madonna von Beilstein , which dates back to the 12th and 13th centuries. Century is dated.
Organ
The organ was installed in 1738 by the organ builder Balthasar König from Ingolstadt. The organ gallery has an artfully carved parapet, the middle segment of which is provided with the Carmelite coat of arms and the year 1738.

The significance of the Alhambra and the Generalife of Granada, and their influence upon the surroundings, has been historically recognized.
By order of the Regency of the Kingdom (Regencia del Reino), 10 February 1870, confirmed by Royal Decree on 21 July 1872, and amplified by Royal Decree on 11 June 1896, the Alcazar of the Alhambra of Granada, as well as their gardens and accessory structures, are declared national-artistic monuments, and Elvira’s Gate (Puerta Elvira) is declared incorporated.
In the twentieth century, by Royal Decree on 27 July 1943 the gardens of the Alhambra and the Generalife are declared Historical Gardens.
More recently, at the UNESCO Convention, which was held in Buenos Aires between 29 October and 2 November 1984, the World Heritage Committee proceeded to officially include the Alhambra and the Generalife of Granada on the World Heritage List.
The significance of this is that Spain is now part of an international commitment to carefully preserve and protect the Historical-Artistic Monuments Complex and the surrounding area. It is the responsibility of the Spanish administration and the Administrative Body of the Council of Andalusia, to see that the above mentioned commitment is sustained. www.alhambra-patronato.es/index.php/The-Alhambra-and-the-...
