Fischerkirche (Rust)
The fisherman's church in the statutory town of Rust in Burgenland is a former Roman Catholic fortified church and was dedicated to St. Pancratius and St. Consecrated to Aegidius . The former church is now almost exclusively used for museum and cultural purposes. It is located on a slight hill in the southwest part of the old town. The building is surrounded by a church yard, which used to be a cemetery, and a defensive wall.
Surname
The name "Fischerkirche" came up only in the middle of the 20th century and can be traced back to a legend.
In the 1950s, frescoes from the end of the 13th and beginning of the 16th century were uncovered during restoration work in the Pankratius Choir and the Marienkapelle.
history
On the remains of a Roman watchtower, a Romanesque church was built in the 12th century, measuring six by eleven meters. The northern part of the western wall, the western part of the northern wall and the foundations of an apse are the remains of this original church building. In the second half of the 13th century, the Marienkapelle with crypt was added as an independent part to the south of the Romanesque apse; donated by Queen Maria of Hungary . Around 1400, the church was expanded to the east by removing the Romanesque apse and adding a Gothic choir with a ribbed vault . Around 1515 the south wall of the original church was torn down and the church building was expanded to include the Marienkapelle. In 1563 a sacristy was added to the north and in 1570 an organ loft was added.
The Gothic church tower was destroyed during the first Turkish siege in 1529, rebuilt in 1575 and rebuilt in 1719; It collapsed in 1879 and was never rebuilt.
Furnishing
The high altar in the Pankratius choir is an early Baroque two-storey frame architecture with tendrils attached to the side and marked 1642. The altarpiece shows the crucifixion with Mary, Magdalena and John and the top picture shows the resurrection of Christ. The two side figures represent St. Pankratius and Aegidius .
The three saints altar, a side altar in the Pankratius choir, is a late Gothic figure shrine.
In the Marienkapelle there is a stone pieta on the Altarmensa, which was moved here in 1962 and dates from the beginning of the 15th century. There is also a polychrome Gothic figure of Mary from the mid-15th century on a Tuscan column.
