The Roman Catholic parish church of the Birth of Mary is a neo-Gothic hall church in Palling in the Upper Bavarian district of Traunstein . It belongs to the parish association Palling-Freutsmoos in the deanery Baumburg of the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising .
history
The parish Palling can be traced back to its present size from the 12th century, with branch churches in Brünning, Freutsmoos, Tyrlbrunn and Harpfetsham. After a church was mentioned for the first time in the late 8th century, a parish church can only be traced back to the 15th century, which was of late Gothic origin and changed in Baroque style until it was rebuilt in the 19th century. Although it originally had a three-aisled nave, it became too small for the increasing number of parishioners, which is why a new building was planned from 1865. The plans were worked out by senior building officer Karl Leimbach, the execution was carried out in 1869 by master bricklayer Franz Scheck from overseas , whereby the west tower of the previous building was used again. The assumption that the old cemetery chapel was included has been refuted. The new church was consecrated on October 10, 1876. In 1923 and 1962/1963 interior restorations were carried out, the exterior was renewed 1974–1978.
architecture
The church, visible from afar, shapes the townscape with its tower and nave and is surrounded by a cemetery. In the axis of the church there is a morgue to the east, and a war memorial was erected to the southwest in 1922. The church consists of a six-bay nave with a retracted choir and lower, polygonal-closing additions for the sacristy in the south and the Michael's chapel in the north. The tower, the stair towers adjoining it on the side, the west side of the nave, the porch porches and the buttresses are built with visible masonry from Nagelfluh , the remaining wall surfaces are plastered. The entire structure is surrounded by buttresses, the choir and its extensions are highlighted by painted tracery friezes at eaves height. The top floor of the tower is also provided with a tracery frieze, the masonry has bricked-up openings. A mezzanine floor, a neo-Gothic octagon and a high octagonal pointed helmet were built on top of this.
The impressive, strikingly broadly proportioned interior has been preserved in a purely neo-Gothic style, both in terms of architecture and furnishings. In the architectural details, characteristic forms of the late Gothic in the region were faithfully reproduced. The parallel rib vault of the nave, modeled on the church of Seeon Abbey, has been used in this form in numerous churches in the area, for example in Ischl , Otting and Tettelham ( Waging am See ) and in St. Georgen in Traunreut . This vault shape also occurs in regotised churches such as in Emertsham .
The choir and the chancel are each separated by an additional arch. In the two-bay choir, a simple parallel rib vault has been inserted, in the choir polygon a star vault, for which, like the looped rib vault in the Michael's Chapel, there are no medieval models in the region in this form. The vault in the nave is based on fluted wall templates with circular services and capitals .
Furnishing
The altar figures were created by Paul Horchler from Burghausen. The high altar contains a depiction of the Assumption of Mary with the apostles in a round arched niche that is rather untypical for the time it was built. In the is conversation narrow a representation of the Trinity inserted. The side altars are designed similar to the high altar. The pulpit is attached to the north wall of the nave, which was designed in a neo-Gothic style similar to the gallery. On the walls of the nave are figures of the fourteen helpers in need and of Maria, which were executed in the years 1919–1922 by Alois Sigg. The organ is a work with originally 22 (now 26) stops on two manuals and a pedal , which was rebuilt in 1966.
