Pilgrimage

Heilbrunn was previously known for its Chapel of Grace with its own pilgrimage, which originated in the middle of the 17th century. According to tradition, a man with gout named Adam Kurz found an image of Mary from a miraculous spring that he had buried during the Thirty Years' War and was healed.

Pilgrimage Church of St. Magdalena

Church of St. Magdalena

The pilgrimage church of St. Magdalena was built in 1674 and later received a neo-Gothic interior, which was removed again. The ceiling painting shows the beginning of the pilgrimage, the wonderful healing of the man suffering from gout.

History and architecture

At the end of the 12th century, the name of the hamlet Viecht (now Großviecht) appears in the early writings of the Oberalteich monastery. There is talk of a courtyard to which a small chapel belonged. A note about the existence of a chapel dates from 1648. After the source of grace was found, the influx of pilgrims increased, which in 1674 led to a large church being built. The church building is a simple baroque complex. The choir ends with five octagonal sides, is delimited by the re-entrant arch and has a flat ceiling and three window axes. The tower is presented on the west side, its superstructure consists of two floors, which are separated from the nave. The exterior renovation began in 1986, followed by the interior of the church in 1987, and in 1988 the figural decorations were given their present appearance.

In 1885 the furnishings from the time it was built had become ruinous and were completely replaced. Neo-Romanesque forms were chosen and new color windows donated. The high altar was adorned with a painting of St. Magdalena from 1850. It was flanked by two figures and is considered lost. Wall and ceiling paintings gave the room a closed appearance.

In 1961 the interior was completely redesigned. With the exception of the chairs, pictures and figures, the furnishings were removed, and the windows were replaced with simple glass. The ceiling painting, which has been excellently restored today, has been preserved from the painting. A crucifixion group was attached to the east wall of the choir and a matching figure of St. John was acquired for the life-size crucifix and the painful Mother of God from around 1740. The figures on the pulpit date from around 1675, the Way of the Cross from 1884. In 1947 the gallery was enlarged.

In the 1980s, the church was fundamentally renovated and the entire shell was completely redesigned in terms of stucco and walls. The chancel was redesigned and a new heating system was installed.

Chapel of Grace Frauenbrünnl

The Frauenbrünnl chapel was built around 1654 . It contains an altar from the 18th century and the miraculous image, a carved Madonna and Child, as well as many votive tablets and the healing fountain. In 1648 the Bishop of Regensburg requested a report on the "newly invented" fountain. By this time the worship of a source of grace had already begun.
