Location of Hellring in Bavaria
The pilgrimage church of St. Ottilia

Hellring is a hamlet with around 43 inhabitants in the Lower Bavarian market of Langquaid . The small town consists of some agricultural properties and a pilgrimage church . Hellring is pronounced with an emphasis on the second syllable. Locals also pronounce the place name "Hellaring".

Pilgrimage

Hellring is mentioned for the first time in the 12th century when Paring Monastery took over the pilgrimage here. Historians assume, however, that there was a church in Hellring as early as the 8th century.

Nothing is known about the first church, the successor building was built on this site around 1150; the construction of the third church started in 1246. Today's baroque church is now the fourth church building, it was built from 1733 to 1735 by Johann Georg Hirschstötter . From 1984 to 1996 St. Ottilia was restored and re-consecrated in 1997.

Dult

Although the name day of Saint Ottilia is celebrated on December 13th, the Hellring (as the Dult is called ) "because of the better weather" takes place on the second Sunday in October. The Hellring begins on Thursday and lasts until Monday.

What is unusual about this church festival is that Hellring's residents have the right to a so-called “pouring and boiling”. The Hellring court owners entertain the pilgrims in their houses; however, the number of participating farms decreased to three over the years.

In 2005, Sandra Schlittenhardt shot a documentary film entitled Hellring und seine Dult for the series Unter Unser Himmel .
