St. Vitus and Anna in Ettendorf is a branch church of the Roman Catholic Traunstein parish church of St. Oswald ; it is also known as Ettendorfer Kircherl .

location

The small church stands in an easterly direction just outside of Ettendorf, which belongs to the community of Surberg, in the north of Traunstein. The hill with St. Vitus and Anna can be seen from the center of Traunstein. The Rosenheim – Salzburg railway line runs just a few steps south , so that travelers can easily see the church on this route.

History and structure

The oldest mention of Ettendorf and its church comes from the year 1120. Until the 19th century, St. Vitus and Anna were the destination of a pilgrimage , which can be traced back to the first half of the 13th century.

The building, which is still visible today, dates from the late Gothic period of the 15th century. The nave - three-bay with a steep roof by Master Martein from Haunerting - and the tower from the 1470s are younger than the strongly recessed choir , if one follows the inscription "1431" found there. In the course of the construction of the nave, the choir was provided with a ribbed vault . The altar was consecrated before the building of today's nave - on May 20, 1451 by Silvester Pflieger . The onion dome crowning the tower was put on in 1726 by master mason Johann Modlhammer and master carpenter Anton Rungraber from Traunstein.

Furnishing

The impressive fittings on the church portal were made in 1487 by the Traunstein master locksmith Hanns. The wooden closing grille comes from the baroque period ; it was built in 1750. The gallery is still late Gothic; Master Caspar built it in 1512; the panel paintings on the parapet are works by Hanns Amberger from 1513 and 1514.

The structure of the high altar is - somewhat reduced - modeled on the old altar, replaced in 1732/33, in the Traunstein parish church of St. Oswald. Both were built by Johann Wolfgang Dersch, the altar in Traunstein in 1715, today in Halfing , the altar in Ettendorf in 1718. The figures adorning it are older - Georg Pämer created them between 1681 and 1692. Maria and her parents Joachim are shown in the middle and Anna , above them God the Father with angels, on the sides St. Ulrich and St. Florian , on the altar excerpt John the Baptist and John the Evangelist as well as the Archangels Michael and Gabriel . On the painting on the altarpiece, St. Vitus can be seen as intercessor for Traunstein, it is attributed to the Traunstein painter Johann Anton Frank. The tabernacle dates from the Rococo period .

The two side altars were built in 1721, also by Johann Wolfgang Dersch. The paintings are by Johann Anton Frank: on the left the holy seven refuges and St. Johannes Nepomuk in the excerpt; on the right St. Leonhard , patron saint of prisoners and St. Afra in the excerpt.

On the nave walls are six large paintings from the 1720s on the life of St. Vitus. On the central north wall there is a large fresco with the fourteen helpers in need in 3 rows of arcades arranged one above the other, which was made in the last quarter of the 17th century.

The gallery parapet is classified as a piece of jewelery of special dimensions. In the fields between the artistic carvings, Hanns Amberger painted a nine-part picture cycle in 1513/14 with the depictions of Jesus the judge of the world , Mary with child , Anna Selbdritt and the apostles.

The large crucifix created by Georg Pämer was originally on the choir arch. A sculpture of St. George was made in 1952 and is shown at the traditional Easter ride.

organ

The organ, a work by Hans Vogl , is extremely rare. It was built in 1669, making it one of the oldest church organs in Bavaria . The mid-tone instrument with a short octave has 5 registers on a manual (C DEFGA –c 3 : Copel 8 ′, Fleten 4 ′, Principal 2 ′, Octav 1 ′, Superoctave 1 ⁄ 2 ′) with hanging action and oblique abstracts . The wind is supplied via two six-fold bellows . The pitch is 450 Hz (at 15 ° C).

Early baroque organ

From 2001 to 2005 the instrument was restored to its original condition by the organ builder Linder (Nussdorf a. Inn). The Fleten 4 ′ register and the wind supply were reconstructed using comparison instruments.

Bells

The bells of St. Vitus and Anna are tuned to G sharp 1 , B sharp 1 and C sharp 2 . The h-bell was created by the Munich bell founder Langenegger in 1726. The other two bells were created after the Second World War .
