Gustav Vasa I helped Sweden break free from the Kalmar Union and win its indepedence against Denmark and Norway. He became King of newly indpendent Sweden (which included Finland), established a new dynasty and led to a reformation of the church making Sweden Lutheran. He vastly strengthened the state and built a modern army which was the envy of the region. Sweden began its own expansion and conquered Estonia.

In 1587
the heir to the Swedish throne Sigismund Vasa
became the new ruler of the Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth
in part due to his catholic Polish mother.

After his father
King John III
died,
Sigisumund
promised to unite Sweden with Poland and Lithuania
promising to respect Lutherans as the new King of Sweden -
but in 1597
Swedish aristocrats
led by Sigismund's uncle
Duke Charles IX
rebelled.

In 1598, Sigismund landed in Sweden with an army of Polish, German and Hungarian mercenaries but was defeated at the battle of Linkoping and forced to retreat by superior Swedish forces.
Charles IX (, insulting the corpse of Sigismund supporter Klaus Fleming),
prepared for a counter invasion of the Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth
with 15000 men conquering Estonia and moved quickly southwards into Livonia.

In 1601 the famous Polish military commander Chodkiewicz
was called back from Moldavia to defend against the Swedish invasion.

He fought a decisive victory in Kokenhausen in 1601 killing 3000 Swedes
largely due to the famous Winged Hussars cavalary, also known as the Angels of Death.

General Zamoyski arrived with an additional 12000 men
which forced Charles IX back into Estonia and ultimately a full retreat.

A few years later Sweden came back with 4 larger armies with a goal to capture Riga.

Chodkiewicz moved his armies near Kirchholm on hills facing off against the numerically superior Swedes. Through clever planning, tactics and a feint retreat, Chodkiewicz led Charles IX into a trap which decimated the Swedish armies by Winged Hussars and Tatars.

This total victory forced Charles IX to flee to his landing camp near Riga.

In total the Commonwealth forces only lost 100 men with 200 injured while over 8000 Swedes were killed or captured.

They abandoned the siege of Riga and fled back across the Baltic Sea to Sweden.

Ironically Chodkiewicz's unpaid troops and mercenaries mutinied shortly afterwards
and abandoned him preventing him from capitalizing on the total victory -
the war ultimately ended in a stalemate for both sides.

During this conflict, both famine and plague hit Riga.

The soldiers had consumed all the food and the people of Riga and nearby areas suffered.
To make matters worse a plague epidemic hit and made the city a ghost town.

Mass grave pits
were established including several
near St. Gertrude Church,
located outside the city walls
of the old Riga town.

There was also a burial pit and traditional individual graves in this church graveyard from this time.

Some bodies were found to have died of natural causes or sieges of the city.

However several
were analyzed and tested positive for
Yersinia Pestis - plague - which had devastated the city in 1601.

History
Consecrated March 2, 1869
St Gertrude Old Church (Latvian: Vec; Sv;t;s ;ertr;des eva;;;liski luterisk; bazn;ca) is a Lutheran church in Riga, the capital of Latvia. It is a parish church of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Latvia. The church is situated at the address 8 ;ertr;des Street.[1] It has a long association with Riga's German ethnic community, and the congregation worship in the German language.

Seven St. Gertrude’s churches have stood on or near the present location. The church is located in a suburb of Riga, historically outside the main city walls, and thus were unprotected in times of war or siege.

History
The exact year of the first church's construction is unknown, but it was first mentioned in chronicles at the beginning of the 15th century (existing by 1418), when it was located outside the Riga city wall, in the suburb. It was named after Saint Gertrude (626–659), the Catholic patroness of travelers. It was built of stone and later demolished[2]

In 1522, when the Riga City Council, supported by the guilds, appointed Andreas Knopken as a Lutheran preacher at St. Peter’s Church and Sylvester Tegetmeier as pastor of St. James's Cathedral, the so-called “iconoclast riots” began in Riga—Lutheran mobs stormed and vandalized churches, including St. Gertrude's, which was destroyed.

In 1589, it was decided to rebuild the church and hand it over to the Lutheran congregation (Catholicism had been outlawed, and the previous congregation members had either been expelled, fled the city, or converted). The work was completed in 1591, and the following year, the road to the church was paved, as it had been impassable in rainy weather.

During the Polish-Swedish War in 1605, as Charles IX’s army laid siege to Riga, Swedish commander Count Mansfeld burned down the church. In 1656, during the siege of Riga siege by Tsar Alexei I’s army, the church building itself remained unharmed, but the bells and organ were looted and taken to Russia. Since services couldn’t be held there, the congregation temporarily relocated.

In 1700, the Great Northern War began, and the church was again destroyed. In 1743, the Riga City Council allocated funds to St. Gertrude’s congregation for rebuilding, and in 1744 the church was rebuilt, in wood. From 1753 to 1754, the church was completely rebuilt again in order to enlarge it and received a tower. In 1753, the tower was topped with a sphere, and two bells were commissioned from Riga bell founder Indri;is Birmans. Riga sculptor Kurlavskis created a tabernacle and gilded crucifix for the altar, and deaf organ builder J. Joachims from Jelgava made the organ, with the case designed by Riga carpenter master K. G. Apelbaum. In 1755, master miller J;nis Lichtverks donated a tower clock made by clockmaker Vihmans.

Further expansion led to rebuilding in 1778, the congregation decided to build a new church at the beginning of present-day Br;v;bas Street, and a shift of location back to the exact site of the original stone church. Application was made to build in stone, but was refused by the city council (stone structures were permitted only inside the city walls), so another wooden church was built. The cornerstone was laid on April 8, 1779, and it was consecrated on August 29, 1781.

19th century

The wooden church visible in the center, in 1812
During the French invasion of Russia as part of Siege of Riga in 1812, on the orders of military governor Magnus Gustav von Essen, all Riga suburbs were burned down—including St. Gertrude’s Church which was consecrated in 1781. In 1812, the congregation built a prayer house at the corner of present-day Br;v;bas and Dzirnavu Streets, which was consecrated on May 24, 1817. The organist was August Lebrecht Bretschneider (1771–1840), former music professor at the Jelgava Academic Gymnasium.

Finally from 1866 to 1869 the present stone and brick church was constructed to replace the wooden building.[3] In the mid-19th century, after the demolition of Riga’s fortifications, it was decided to replace the wooden structure with a stone church. As the suburbs were rebuilt, a location was reserved at the intersection of Kal;ju (now ;ertr;des) and Bazn;cas Streets. The current church design was made by architect Johann Felsko (1813–1902), and master mason Kr;gers undertook the construction. Work began in 1864. Foundation reinforcement was a major challenge, with depths reaching 6.5 meters in some places. Construction was completed in 1866, and on August 10, the cross was placed on the tower. The church was consecrated on March 2, 1869.

20th century
Historically, the St. Gertrude congregation was a Baltic German one (in 1938, the German congregation had 4,800 members), but in the 1920s, the authorities required that it also accommodate two Latvian congregations. However, until 1939, the church’s administrative and financial matters were still managed by the German administration. Up to 200 people attended summer services, and up to 460 in winter. About 170 members attended Bible classes. A newspaper called St. Gertrud-Bote was regularly published, and the monthly Ev.-luth. Kirchenblatt was available to all German congregations in Latvia. In 1934, the church’s heating system underwent major renovation.

In 1948, three congregations—the so-called Academic (led by pastor M. Gaumigs), Resurrection (pastor O. Gerli;;), and Christ Church (pastor K. V;rpa)—were merged to form the new Old St. Gertrude congregation, as the German members had left Riga. June 22, 1948, is considered the official founding date of the new Old St. Gertrude congregation, when it was registered by the Commissioner for Religious Affairs of the Council of Ministers of the Latvian SSR, P. Piz;ns.

In 1959, the northern side of the church roof was reconstructed, wartime brickwork covering the lower windows was removed, and three stained-glass windows were restored. A choir of 35 people was active. During the Soviet era, the authorities made various efforts to restrict or even destroy the congregation—denying pastors registration, repeatedly raising insurance fees for the church, etc., which pushed the congregation to the brink of collapse. By the mid-1950s, membership had dropped to around 300; by the mid-1970s, to 200. After Latvia regained independence, the Old St. Gertrude Church saw a significant increase in congregation members.

Architecture
The church is a typical example of eclecticism in refined Neo-Gothic forms, a three-aisled pseudo-basilica with a short transept. Its exterior features a pronounced vertical emphasis, highlighted by numerous decorative turrets adorning the stepped gables, buttresses, and the base of the spire. The church tower gradually narrows in volume, reaching a height of 63 meters, and its spire is covered with copper sheeting. The outer walls are finished with red bricks and architectonic elements cast in concrete.[4]

In 1912, the church’s altarpiece was replaced with a crucifix. On either side of the altar are sculptures of St. Peter and St. John. The stained-glass windows were made in the second half of the 19th century and in 1907 at the E. Tod; workshop. The largest bell (0.97 m in diameter) was cast in bronze in 1867 by V. T. Donat and J. C. Schwenn. However, in 1915, it was evacuated to Russia and only brought back in 1923.[4]

The pipe organ (1867–1876, III/P/31) was originally built by August Martin (1808–1892) of Dachwig, and was moved to the New St. Gertrude Church in 1906.[5]

The current church organ was built in 1906 by the firm of W. Sauer in Frankfurt an der Oder and is considered one of the best and most melodic in Riga.[4]

Second St Gertrude's church
Main article: St. Gertrude New Church, Riga
By the start of the twentieth century St Gertrude's recorded more than 30,000 church members, meeting as three distinct congregations. A German congregation and a Latvian congregation alternated their services between Sunday morning and Sunday afternoons, and a second Latvian congregation worshipped on Sunday evenings. From 1903 to 1906 a second church was built, now known as St Gertrude New Church, and this became the centre of the Latvian congregations, leaving Old St Gertrude's as the German-speaking church for Riga.

Старая церковь Гертруды
Материал из Википедии — свободной энциклопедии

Старая церковь Гертруды — рижская лютеранская церковь; расположена в центральном районе города на пересечении улиц Гертрудес и Базницас. Построена в эклектичных формах; представляет собой одну из первых церквей, для которой было выделено специальное место постройки (имеется в виду восьмиугольная площадь).

Название «Старая церковь Гертруды» мотивировано наличием одноимённой церкви, которая была построена несколько позже, в самом начале двадцатого века, и которая носит название Новой церкви Гертруды.

Исторические упоминания, предыстория
Впервые в этом месте церковное здание упоминается в 1413 году; известно, что за пределами городской стены на пригородном участке территории существует церковь, названная в честь всееропейской патронессы путешественников святой Гертруды. Другая версия гласит, что церковь впервые упоминается в 1418 году на территории Рижского предместья вблизи от Большой Песчаной дороги. На этом месте церковное здание находится более века, однако в 1559 году она сгорает. После этого была отстроена новая церковь, судя по всему, также из дерева, которая погибла в ходе военных действий в период длительной шведско-польской кампании 1600—1629 годов. Доподлинно неизвестно, сколько церковных зданий сменилось на этом месте до строительства здания, благополучно дошедшего до наших дней.

Сооружение

Интерьер церкви
В 1864 году известный рижский архитектор, выпускник Санкт-Петербургской Академии Художеств Иоганн Даниэль Фельско, которому принадлежит множество примечательных архитектурных работ, радующих глаз по сей день, принимается за руководство строительными работами по своему проекту. Строится новая церковь Святой Гертруды, покровительницы странников, на том же месте, где располагался ряд предыдущих, от которых история не оставила следа. В 1866 году работы по строительству церкви завершены, церковь же освящается через некоторое время после сооружения, в 1869 году. Церковь возвышается на специфической восьмигранной площади, разбитой в 1813 году в рамках проекта по восстановлению сожжённых рижских предместий, разработанном под руководством маркиза Филиппа (Филиппо) Осиповича Паулуччи. Долгое время благодаря своему урбанистически удобному положению церковь играла роль градостроительной доминанты (по сути, она исполняет эту функцию и по сей день).

Архитектура здания
Церковь является хрестоматийным образцом эклектического направления в архитектуре. Мастер Фельско все свои архитектурные проекты выполнял в этом универсальном стиле. Церковь обладает богатыми неоготическими формами. По структурной характеристике церковь представляет собой трёхнефную псевдобазилику с дополнительным небольшим поперечным нефом, украшенным оригинальными крестовыми сводами. В наружной отделке было решено применить красный кирпич. Остальные архитектурные элементы были отлиты в бетоне: декоративные карнизы, порталы, а также аккуратный оригинальный каскад из фиалов, который придаёт этой церкви индивидуальность во внешнем оформлении. Многочисленные украшения башни, а также оконный массверк также выполнены из бетона. Шпиль достигает 63 метров в высоту, он был покрыт медным слоем (жестью). Орган был сконструирован и поставлен в 1906 году, он считается одним из лучших в Риге (концерты органной музыки в Старой церкви Гертруды происходят примерно с той же частотностью, что и концерты в Домской церкви на валькеровском органе). Под главным церковным залом находится цокольный этаж, который используется под служебные подсобные помещения.
