Hannesmühle (Bruneck)
The Hannesmühle (also Johannesmüllerhaus ) is one of the oldest houses in the South Tyrolean city of Bruneck . It is a listed building.
history
A predecessor to today's Hannesmühle is likely to have existed here in the Ragen district as early as the 10th century, as can be seen from a traditional note from the Bressanone monastery from 995-1005, in which a woman Suanihilt left some properties to the church in Brixen . a. the mill in Ragen receives. The mill, which was a Görzisches fief , was expanded in the Middle Ages by a saw and a tanner's pound . At the beginning of the 16th century, the building roughly got its current appearance.
Building description
In today's Mühlgasse, which is named after the Hannesmühle, the building with its north facade is located in such a way that you can see it from afar, especially when you walked over the Totensteig, the old Rienz bridge to Ragen. On this side there is a stone-framed rectangular portal with a beautifully shaped skylight with shoulder arch . Behind it you get to the arched hallway. On the first floor there is a beamed ceiling, a vaulted room and a baroque room with a bay window and baroque paneling .
The frescoes next to the entrance door, which date from around 1520, are particularly interesting in terms of art history . The left, smaller fresco shows the Mother of God in a keel arch . The larger wall painting on the right shows Christ crucified in the center . Above it, God the Father is shown above the gate of heaven, surrounded by angels. On both sides of the cross you can see Maria on the left , Eve on the right , the allegorical figure of Ecclesia on the left and the synagogue on the right. The symbols of the evangelists and a banner can be seen directly below Mary . In the lowest level, below the cross, angels with lances in hands are about to storm the limbo with the poor souls. The multi-part picture is also surrounded by four large images of saints, which show the apostle John on the top left , St. Florian on the bottom, and the apostle Bartholomew on the right and St. George on the bottom .
The story of the Bruneck intelligence test is based around this fresco. Hiding in the picture is a little pig that originally had nothing to do with the fresco, but rather goes back to a former owner Kassian Saumüller from the 17th century, who was immortalized in this way. Anyone who succeeds in discovering the pig has passed the intelligence test.
