The Collegiate Church Seekirchen is located in Seekirchen am Wallersee in the state of Salzburg (Stiftsgasse 4) and is dedicated to St. Peter .
history
Seekirchen (then called Walardorf ) was the place where the later patron saint Rupert first set foot in the Salzburger Land and at the outflow of the Fischach from the Wallersee a church in honor of St. Peter founded before going to Juvavum . (The remains of this church were discovered in 1977 under today's collegiate church.) Due to floods and fires, however, the church seat was moved to Mühlberg in 1360 .
The collegiate foundation was founded on March 28, 1679 by Archbishop Max Gandolf . To this end, a three-storey building was built in Seekirchen as a shared residential building next to the collegiate church. The previous priestly residence in Mühlberg was given up and the Mühlberg estate was subsequently sold to aristocrats. At that time there were seven priests (a dean and six secular priests) in the pen; in addition there were a monastery economist, a schoolmaster , a cantor , an organist and four choralists . The first dean was Sigmund Abel (1679–1696), who held the first choir prayer on February 18, 1680. The beginning of the collegiate foundation was marked under him by disputes over competence among the canons.
The monastery went through a similar history to the whole of Salzburg . H. After the attack by Napoleonic troops on Salzburg (1800) and the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss , the monastery fell to Archduke Ferdinand of Tuscany in 1803 , and in 1805 the church silver had to go to Ferdinand III. passed by Tuscany and in 1806 the monastery was abolished. Between 1812 and 1816 it came into the possession of the next occupiers of the state, namely Bavaria. On May 24, 1812, the Bavarians confiscated the monastery and stole the monastery archives, which were then transferred to Munich. The last dean Johann Georg Winklhofer resigned on June 10, 1812 and moved to Maria Alm as vicar.
Restoration of the collegiate foundation
1832 pen on arrangement was Emperor Francis I built again. After many years of conflict with Archbishop Maximilian Josef von Tarnóczy , new statutes were drawn up, which the Prince Archbishop signed on March 27, 1871. On the occasion of the 200th anniversary, the monastery was opened on May 6, 1879 by papal privilege of Pope Leo XIII. In 1879 raised from a dean to a provost with the title "Collegiata insignis". The first provost was on March 6, 1888, the monastery dean Georg Hasenauer.
Under Archbishop Georg Eder , the college, which had not been occupied since around 1980, was completed again. On June 29, 1996 the monastery was rebuilt and Franz Graber, who had been pastor of Seekirchen since 1989, was appointed as the 22nd and current provost. The chapter today consists of the provost, six capitular and three honorary canons. It meets at least twice a year and, in addition to pastoral care, is dedicated to promoting spiritual and ecclesiastical professions as well as the veneration of St. Rupert. But the pen no longer has any assets of its own.
