history
History of the parish church
The parish church emerged from an imperial Kornstadel on which Plaimstein was built. In 1875, Pastor Johannes Krabbe from Ludwigslust in Mecklenburg bought the "grain box" built in 1750 on August 9th. Under the direction of the Schwerin building officer Johann Ludwig F. Krüger, it was converted into a church from 1876 to 1881.
The purchase price of the building was 15,000 guilders . The actual total cost of building the church and setting up a parish and school house was 53,000 guilders. The construction was financed by various donations from the imperial majesties of Austria and Germany as well as sponsors from Mecklenburg and other noble and bourgeois families. The plans came from the Bad Ischl master carpenter Jakob Stadlmann and were revised by the Schwerin building officer F. Krüger and divided into two construction phases. In the first stage, the school building and the rectory were rebuilt with a provisional prayer room, and in the second construction stage, the construction of the actual church in the north of the building was planned. In 1876 the school was able to move. The Kornhaus was then converted into a house of worship. Slender windows were broken out, a tower-like facade was erected, and a chancel with sacristy and baptistery was built in. For the style of the church, a decision was made to use a neo-Gothic construction.
In 1879 the Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross could be celebrated. The certificate with the names of the presbyters, the community representatives, the school children and a list of the authorities of the health resort were placed in the ball under the gilded cross. Three bells were raised in the small tower. They had names
- Franz Joseph I , Emperor of Austria
- Wilhelm I , Emperor of Germany
- Emperor Josef II , Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire
The Evangelical Parish Church was on July 1, 1881 by the superintendent Jakob Ernst Koch III. consecrated. In 1902 Bad Ischl was elevated to a parish.

History of the parish
16th to 18th century
The first secret evangelical meetings took place in Ischl around 1530 in the Sigmund-Seeauer-Haus and in the Schlösschen Rosenkranzl (Hinterstein), while the market court was still Catholic. From the year it was founded, it can be seen that the evangelical parish of Bad Ischl was not a community of tolerance .
In 1568, in his religious concession of August 18, Emperor Maximilian II initially allowed the Lower Austrian estates to practice their Augsburg Confession . At the end of the same year he extended these concessions to Upper Austria. It was important for the emperor to make a transitional arrangement that would allow the various denominations to coexist peacefully and quietly. The cities and markets of the imperial chamber estate, including Bad Ischl, were excluded from this concession. However, the emperor did not issue a ban so that the evangelicals in Bad Ischl could live their faith unhindered. They were tacitly included in the insurance .
The Augsburg Confession thus gained a firm foothold in the Kammergut and the imperial salt system, the main source of income in this part of the country, was firmly in the hands of Protestant subjects. In Bad Ischl, the market judge Joachim Schwarzl was the leader of the Evangelicals. Martin Waldner worked as a Protestant pastor in the Roman Catholic rectory in Bad Ischl, who was succeeded by Wolfgang Khlainsträtl. In 1591 Sebastian Heisl became pastor in Bad Ischl.
During this time Protestantism flourished in Bad Ischl, but after the death of Emperor Maximilian II, decrees were passed to re-Catholicize the chamber property. All important offices should be filled with Catholics again and any other form of religious practice was prohibited. In July 1600 the order was issued that all subjects of the chamber property should either become Catholic or had to leave the country. Religious commissions moved from place to place to reinforce the threats.
The new Catholic Salzamtmann reported to the court chamber that the entire chamber property was again Catholic. Thereupon the people of Ischl sent the trustworthy citizen Stadelmann to the imperial court to refute this. His evidence was a list of signatures, on which all Protestant citizens, except for three, declared themselves to be the Augsburg Confession. The situation became more and more acute. After the impeachment of market judge Joachim Schwarzl and the ensuing capture of the religious commission, there was armed resistance in Ischl. Joachim Schwarzl was unanimously appointed field bishop. On August 2, 1601, Joachim Schwarzl assured himself in a meeting of the clear position on the Augsburg Confession.
However, there was no agreement in Ischl. The citizens of the market tended to be more peaceful, while the salt workers showed themselves ready to fight. Joachim Schwarzl was ready to negotiate, however, and in January 1602 he sat at the conference table with the religious commissioners, chaired by Salzburg Archbishop Wolf Dietrich . These demanded his extradition and a return of all residents to the Catholic faith. Contrary to his promise of safe conduct, the archbishop had Joachim Schwarzl thrown into dungeon with the intention of intimidating the rebels throughout the chamber property. The archbishop ordered 1,000 infantry and 300 horsemen to march on Ischl. The archbishop's attempt at mediation thus ended in a military conflict.
The first clashes with the Ischl insurgents occurred at Pfandl. From there they had to retreat to the market area. Thereupon the market was shelled by the Archbishop's troops from the Haischfeld. After two days of fighting, the Ischlers surrendered. The invading soldiers plundered the houses of the Evangelicals. Instead of market judge Joachim Schwarzl, who was imprisoned in Hohensalzburg, the lawyer Michael Haller was publicly quartered on March 1st. Under the pressure of the occupation, members of the community and miners had to kneel in front of the salt minister to seal their renunciation. The Ischl Market Council was dismissed and the market rights were revoked. Joachim Schwarzl was transferred to Linz. Fortunately, he was able to return to Ischl in 1609. He lived completely withdrawn until his death in 1632.
After the armed conflict, the Protestant denomination was again practiced in secret. The salt workers in particular remained loyal to the creed, while the citizens turned away from fear of losing their homes and property. Families caught practicing the evangelical profession were deported to Bavaria or Transylvania. Underage children were taken from their parents and sent to convent schools. Numerous Ischl families are known by name of the approximately 100 displaced persons from the Kammergut. In the second half of the 18th century, the population of Ischl finally seems to have returned to the Catholic faith.
Since the tolerance patent of 1781
Only the tolerance patent of Emperor Joseph II made Protestant life possible again in the Kammergut. You could be registered as an “A-Catholic” and certain rights were granted, including the right to build a house of prayer if more than 500 people belonged to this denomination. In Ischl, 41 people registered as A Catholics. Because of this small number, the evangelical Ischlers were integrated into the Goisern tolerance community , which was constituted in 1782.
Protestant schools were founded in Hallstatt, Gosau, St. Agatha and Goisern as early as 1784. The Evangelicals from Ischl also received a school, but only with outside help. In 1823 Ischl became a bathing resort. Archduchess Sophie made use of Ischl's medicinal water and it did not take long before the long-awaited blessing of children set in. After the birth of the “Salt Princes”, Bad Ischl had become an important place for the monarchy. The family of the Archduke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, Friedrich Franz II, helped the population to found a Protestant school. In 1861 a building was purchased that served as a classroom, prayer room and teacher's apartment.
In 1871 the Kuk district authority in Gmunden sent a letter to the parish of Goisern, in which they demanded the establishment of their own evangelical branch congregation for the services in Bad Ischl. However, this required the approval of the Kuk-Upper Austrian Lieutenancy, which the municipal council applied for in the same year. A year later the first presbytery was elected. In 1875 the grain magazine was bought and rebuilt. Heinrich Fehlandt from Mecklenburg was one of the main initiators of the acquisition of the building, the establishment and furnishing of the school and church building. He taught at the Protestant school in Bad Ischl from 1867 to 1885.
The first presbytery (1872) of the Protestant branch parish Ischl consisted of:
- Gottfried Lahner from Ischl
- Josef Schenner, Wagner in Jainzen
- Leopold Schiendorfer II., Plaster dealer in Eck
- Jakob Stadlmann, house owner in Kaltenbach
- Matthias Uebleis, master carpenter in Ischl and
- Heinrich Fehlandt, teacher at the Protestant elementary school.
In 1902 Bad Ischl became an independent Protestant parish and thus independent of Bad Goisern.
Architecture and equipment
church
The Protestant parish church of Bad Ischl and the rectory were combined in one building in the neo-Gothic style. It was built on the Plaimstein, a hill on the edge of Bad Ischl's city center. The building is located between Bahnhofstrasse and Voglhuberstrasse, where the Eurotherme Bad Ischl is located. The church has a rectangular, slender floor plan and a roof turret, with the roof beams being visible from the inside. The main portal of the church is on the north side, facing away from the street. The side entrance is on the east side of the building. Opposite the main portal, on the south side of the church, you can see the altarpiece of the “Inviting Christ” by Pfannschmidt from Berlin. On the left side of the altar is the pulpit and on the right a small vault with the baptismal font. In the northern area of the hall church, at the main entrance, there is the organ gallery.
The rectory with the parish hall, offices and apartments of the pastors occupies the southern part of the building. The entrance faces east. Above the gate you can read the words "Jesus says: Let the little children come to me".
