history
Around 1580, in place of today's Vincentian Chapel, the Bruderhaus, a charitable institution of the Middle Ages, cared for the elderly and the needy. There was a house chapel in it . When the Freising Prince-Bishop Veit Adam von Gepeckh gave the brother house a copy of the Altötting image of grace, a separate chapel was built for this in 1669.
The room in the chapel, modeled on the octagonal Chapel of Grace in Altötting, was expanded to include a hall just four years later. The vault and wall paintings were created in 1782, but have been heavily revised. The middle fresco shows the Annunciation to the Blessed Mother Mary , the walls depictions of putti . The silver-plated choir altar was designed by Max Breitsameter and Christian Seibold. In the niche, presented by angels, stands the clothed copy of the Black Madonna from the Chapel of Grace in Altötting . Above it is a relief of the divine Trinity , underneath a view of the Chapel of Grace in Altötting, the Freising Vincentium and the Domberg. The right side altar contains a crucifixion group from the 17th century. The depiction of the coronation of Mary on the left side altar is remarkable . Instead of antependia , both altars have glass fronts behind which sacred bodies lie.
After the fire in the neighboring brother house in 1798 and the dissolution of the Freising Monastery, the chapel fell into disrepair from 1804. The tower had to be dismantled and at times the building served as a powder magazine and hay store. The Freising master locksmith Johann Herzenfroh bought the copy of the miraculous image and kept it in his house for almost 40 years.
Simon Plank , sub-rain of the Freising seminary and later the parish priest of St. Georg, obtained the right from the city to use the chapel as a sacred space again . In 1843 he bought the chapel and the brother house, had the buildings renovated and a new, onion-crowned tower built; the Altöttinger Madonna returned to the chapel. In 1845 the chapel was consecrated again.
meaning
The two Upper Bavarian cities of Altötting and Freising are outstandingly connected to Bavarian history; both had been political and spiritual centers since the Agilolfinger period from the sixth to the eighth centuries. The Freising copy of the Altöttinger pilgrimage Madonna or chapel is not a singular phenomenon. For example, there is an Altötting Madonna in the high altar of St. Lampert in Riedenzhofen . In San Candido in South Tyrol in the Puster Valley there is an Altöttinger chapel, assembled with a Chapel of the Passion and a Chapel of the Holy Sepulcher. In Munich Cathedral there is an Altöttinger chapel as a brotherhood chapel . In the Eichstätt district there is one in Mindelstetten . Others are located in Austria in Horn , in Pinswang im Chiemgau and in Landsberg am Lech . In 1969 a new Altötting chapel was built in the Franconian town of Pressath near Grafenwörth .
