Franciscan monastery in Hall in Tirol
The Franziskanerkloster Hall is a Franciscan monastery (OFM) in Hall in Tirol .
history
As early as 1474 , Franciscans were often sent from Vienna to Hall as preachers. In 1635, Mr. Pantaleon Schiestl von Liechtenthurn handed over his home to the Franciscans, Scheibenegg on the lower Lend (once a glassworks, now a municipal retirement home). Due to frequent flooding by the Inn, the monastery was built in 1644 at today's location outside the city wall under the architect P. Rufin Laxner OFM and moved into in 1645. Georg von Ettenhart from Innsbruck, royal Spanish treasurer in Madrid, donated 5,000 guilders, which is why he is considered the founder of the monastery. There was also great support from the Princess Claudia de 'Medici . The church was consecrated in 1648 under the title “Mary of the Angels” ( Portiuncula , patronage on August 2nd).
In 1760 the monastery burned down. After the reconstruction, Christoph Anton Mayr from Schwaz created the valuable paintings of the cloister; 31 pictures depict the life, death and after-effects of St. Depicted Francis of Assisi . The monastery owes the enlargement of the garden and the construction of the library wing to the charity of Msgr. Cserveny. During the Second World War, on September 30, 1940, the monastery was closed and the church closed. In 1945 the Franciscans were able to move into the monastery again, so that the first service took place in the monastery church on June 13, 1945. From autumn 1997 to spring 1999 the monastery was completely renovated.
Monastery church
Built in 1644, Mary of the Angels and the Assumption consecrated church was renewed after a fire in 1760 and in the 19th century neo-Romanesque redesigned. It is a simple hall structure typical of the mendicant order with a retracted choir and roof turret with an onion hood. The west facade has a triangular gable and a round arched stone portal from the second quarter of the 17th century. The three-bay interior is structured with flat pilasters and covered in the nave with a stitch cap vault , in the choir with a barrel vault with stitch caps and under the west gallery with a groin vault.
During the renovation in the 1920s, the church was decorated with frescoes. The fresco The Birth of St. Franziskus on the west wall was created in 1921 by Josef Bachlechner the Elder . After his death in 1924, Franz Xaver Fuchs took over the rest of the painting; he made the depictions The Bird Sermon of St. Francis with the smaller side images of St. Bonaventure and St. Bernardine of Siena (1925) and The Fish Sermon of St. Anthony (1929).
The church has a relatively uniform historicist interior. The left side altar was built in 1917 with a high relief of St. Antonius by Josef Bachlechner the Elder Ä. Mistake. On the right side altar there is a Pietà by Johannes Hutter, the three-part picture made by Bachlechner in 1924 and attached underneath with scenes from the life of St. Paschal Baylon is now hanging on the arch of the Kreuzkapelle. This contains a late baroque crucifixion group from around 1760, which is attributed to Gregor Fritz from Birgitz .
The pews destroyed during the Second World War were recreated after the war by the carpenter Schuster from Hall, the side parts in the central aisle were made by Josef Bachlechner the Younger and show 32 saints and blessed of the Franciscan order.
The monastery , church and cemetery are under monument protection.
