DÜREN, Germany.  My next stop after Bremen was this pleasant area west of Cologne.  My brother in Christ, Dr. Gertfried G., a chemist with whom I worked when he lived in Neenah during 1968 ~ 1972, now lives just south of Düren in the village of Kreuzau with his wife Susanne and daughter Ulrike.  Each year in Gertfried's Christmas greeting he would invite us to visit them.  He also said on one or two occasions that he drove past a CyriakusStraße street sign on his way north to Düren, so I had better come and check this out.

Well, I made it this September.  After Sunday morning church at their Evangelical Friedmeinde (Baptisten), we drove down that little street and found the reason for the name.  A beautiful church with flying buttresses was at the end of the street and was named after St. Cyriakus, a martyr about 300 a.d. ...

Magdeburg Chapel in the State Capital of Sachsen-Anhalt has another historical reference: 805 (A.D.) - The story goes that a church near today's "Johanneskirche" was built on remains of an ancient heathen temple in 780/781.  It was supposed to be a Cyriacus chapel (St. Stephanskapelle) close to the river Elbe.  A bridge in that area is called "Stephansbrücke".

Pages 25 & 26 of the Saalman book have:
"The convent church of St. Cyriacus in Gernrode (Saxony) (plates 23, 24) was begun by the Margrave Gero in 963 and perhaps completed under the auspices of the Empress Theophanu after 972.  Its continuous transept with side apses, forechoir and apse as well as a westwork with flanking stairtowers are a blend of Carolingian and international provincial features.  But the arcaded galleries and alternating pier and column supports, dividing name and aisles below, intruduce an element of color, rhythm and complication original with Byzantine churches like Hagios Demetrios in Salonica and still found in ninth and tenth century buildings in the Bulgarian provinces, as in Mesembria and Ababa Pliska."

Lindenberg St. Cyriakus Über dem Walddörfchen Lindenberg steht im Wallgraben der untergegangenen Lindenburg seit 1556 die Wallfahrtskapelle zum heiligen Cyriak, dem Winzerpatron.  Die Winzer aus den naheliegenden Weinorten schmücken an seinem Festtag die Statue des Heiligen mit den ersten Trauben und bitten um gute Ernte.  Nach vorübergehender Unterdrückung der Wallfahrt zu Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts gab Bischof Nikolaus von Weis den Winzern der Pfalz wieder ihren Patron und gestattete 1843 die Wallfahrt.  Sie hat sich bis heute erhalten.  Cyriakus, der zu den Vierzehn Nothelfern gehört, erlitt in der Verfolgung unter Kaiser Diokletian um 304 das Martyrium.  Seine Reliquien wurden bis zur Reformation in der Nähe von Worms aufbewahrt.  Auch in Lindenberg gibt es noch eine kleine Reliquie des Heiligen.

Karl-Ernst drove us about 5 miles southwest of Düsseldorf to visit the beautiful village church of St. Cyriakus in Nierst on the Rhine River (see the 1980 newsletter for the photos Margret sent of their first trip to this little Catholic Church).  After seeing the church, we drove for coffee at a restaurant with outdoor tables overlooking the Rhine.  It was a warm September Sunday with half the Düsseldorf population out walking or biking along the Rhine.

VILSEN-Bremen-NW Germany[F78n] (20 miles S/SE of Bremen)
The following is taken from the Easter 1987 and Christmas 1984 newsletters regarding the St. Cyriakus church in Bruchhausen-Vilsen.  (modifications 1230 1500 1885):
1984:  BRUCHHAUSEN-VILSEN, West Germany.  Another St. Cyriakus church is in Vilsen, about 20 miles southeast of Bremen.  In fact, this church was the location of the October 1983 wedding of a Cyriacks relative, Gerda B., and Helmut R.  Helmut's family farms nearby.  The church is "Evangelic", or Lutheran as we would call it in America, but was built 500 years ago before the Reformation.  The minister told Gerda that it was named after "a martyr of Greece around 300 A.D." and many churches were named after St. Cyriakus.

1987:  Four hours driving brought us across Holland and northeast to Bremen on the beautiful auto-bahns in both countries.  ... village and Die Vilser Kirche of the Heiligen Cyriakus , ...  The church dates back to about 1218 when Graf Gebhard of Wemigerode, preparing to go to the Holyland, donated the kloster (monastery) at Heiligenberg, to which the Archbishop of Bremen assigned the St. Cyriakus church in Vilsen.  The monks for the monastery came from Steinfeld near Aachen over 200 miles to the southwest near the border with Belgium and Holland.  The stone walls of the tower in the original part of the church are 1.5 meters (5 feet) thick.

In 1525, the church in the neighboring city of Nienburg became evangelish (Lutheran) as did the church in Hoya, 6 miles to the east, in 1528.  The church in Vilsen made the change in 1535.  The monastery was closed in 1543, but the monks still were able to live off the income of the property.  One monk, Jobst Busse, was the first evangelish preacher in Vilsen.  As a result of the reformation, the inside walls were painted white as they are today.  One painting of an angel/saint so common to the walls and ceilings of German Catholic churches is all that remains of the original painting in Vilsen.  Other changes were the beautiful Kanzer (pulpit) with its Bible scenes in 1650 and the first organ in 1662 with a new one installed about every 100 years thereafter.  Major fires occurred in 1577 and 1791.  The steeple on the tower roof was added in 1883.  It is interesting to see so much history in one building.  Visit the Vilser Kirche if you are in Europe.  The village of Vilsen is known for its clean, healthy air and is beautifully maintained.

Die Cyriakusfahne und der Windstoss

Im Frankischen Museum wird eine Fahne aufbewahrt, die vielleicht beim geringsten Windstoss in tausend Teile zerfallen wurde, so altersschwach ist sie schon.  "Cyriakusfahne aus dem Jahre 1266" steht auf dem Schild.  In der Munchner Fahnenkartei wird sie als die alteste noch vorhandene Feldstandarte Deutschlands gefuhrt, die nach dem Wurzburger Schutzheiligen Cyriakus benannt und auf einer sogenannten "Karrasche," einem grossen, vierradrigen Fahnenwagen, in der Schlacht bei Kitzingen mitgefuhrt wurde.

The Cyriacus Flag and the Gust of Wind

In the Frankischen Museum is preserved a flag that is so decrepit with age that it would probably crumble to a thousand pieces at the slightest gust of wind.  "Cyriacus Flag of the year 1266" stands on the Shield.  In the Munich flag card index it is shown as the oldest existing field standard in Germany, named after the Wurzburger patron saint Cyriacus , and was carried upon the so called "Karrasche," a large four wheel flag wagon, in the battle at Kitzingen.  (Translator note:  Karrasche, literally, is an ash cart.

I. Bill only paid $175 a month, so tight budgeting was a must.  Eventually, the G. I. Bill paid $275 a month which helped send him through graduate school for two years in 1976 and 1977. ]
(5)The December 1983 Newsletter shows the Cyriaxweimar 1 km sign and informs us that Karl-Ernst and Margret L. took a special route to explore the village.  But, it was too small to afford an inn at which to eat lunch and ask the locals about its history.  The coordinates appear to be due east of the mapped town of Weimar, which appears to be a southern suburb of Marburg.

Csorna, Hungary (47 38N 17 18E).
Csorna, a settlement of Gyõr-Moson-Sopron County in western Hungary, which had a population of 11,900 in 1971 when it became a town, provides the following: auf deutschen

"Csorna has been inhabited since the stone age.  It was first mentioned in documents from 1226 as Cyriacus de Serna.  Establishment of the provostship made the settlement a religious centre, which already had market-holding rights before the Mongol invasion.  ... Thermal springs used for the treatment of rheumatic and joint diseases are located in the pleasant countryside of this Rábaköz area.  ..."

In other words, Cyriacus de Serna, when shortened became Csorna; similar to the way Cabeza de Vaca became C de Baca for Spaniards!?

 
Csorna could have evolved into Zorna, which could have been condensed even more to Zona.  The same could have happened with Sorna and Sona.
