Frauenkirche on the cloister
The Frauenkirche am Kreuzgang in Brixen , also called Our Lady in the Cloister , is a side church of the Brixen Cathedral .
History and equipment
Bishop Konrad von Rodank (1200–1216) had the Marienkapelle on the cathedral cloister renewed and painted with frescoes by his court painter Hugo around 1215. He also founded a collegiate chapter here . The bishop himself fell from a scaffolding in the chapel and died in 1216.
The original church was a single-nave room with an altar area and a round apse. There was a wooden balcony on three sides, which was accessible from the bishop's court on the upper floor. The Romanesque frescoes were of excellent quality, but were largely destroyed by the addition of the west yoke after 1270 and the insertion of the groin vaults after 1327. Seven virtues and vices were depicted.
At the end of the 18th century, the Frauenkirche was incorporated as a wing element in the facade of the cathedral. Today the church has four bays, the lower aisle three bays. The altars all date from the 17th century. The three-part high altar, the Annunciation and the Assumption of Mary as well as the prophets Jeremiah and Micha were created by Martin Theophil Polak around 1638. The first side altar with the images of communion and the ascension of St. Mary Magdalene ; the sculptures Faith, Hope and Love are by Adam Baldauf . Another altar is located on the pillar to the aisle and shows sculptures of Pietà and Saints Sebastian and Rochus ; an altar in the side aisle depicts the Madonna in the ear of ears (1655) and one depicts St. Johannes Nepomuk . The pilgrim Madonna of Augustine Valentin from 1898 enjoys popular veneration. The Stations of the Cross were made by Jakob Jennewein around 1734.
organ
Behind the high altar is an organ , the core of which goes back to an instrument built by Daniel Herz between 1648 and 1649 . In 1795 the organ was renovated by Peter Volgger from Arbach, but it fell into disrepair over the centuries. In 2010 the organ was restored and reconstructed by Henrik Ahrend ( Leer / Ostfriesland ). It has 11 stops on two manuals and a pedal . The disposition :
