Assumption of Mary (Schnaitsee)
The Catholic parish church of the Assumption of Mary in Schnaitsee is located at a height of 607 m in the town center and is surrounded by the cemetery.
history
The builder Oswald Pürkhel replaced the original structure of the church in 1431 based on the design of his cousin Konrad Pürkhel from Burghausen. After several changes, the vault was rebuilt between 1664 and 1667 by Kaspar Zucalli from Graubünden and the church was redesigned in Baroque style . It is considered to be the earliest baroque room in the Traunstein district. The sacristy and the tower were enlarged in 1724. After additions to the choir in 1923/1924, the church received its present-day appearance.
Exterior
The double onion dome of the 64 m high tower, which is divided by cornices and friezes with three-pass arches, characterizes the silhouette of the place. The outer walls were bricked up over the height of the buttresses up to the eaves . The roof construction got a hanging structure .
Interior
The nave is structured by sturdy buttresses and closed by a needle cap barrel. The yokes are designed with straps . The choir has a drawn-in end, so it is narrower than the nave.
Furnishing
The high altar was restored in 1880 by the Schnaitsee art carpenter Sebastian Ametsberger. The altarpiece consists of two oil paintings from the second half of the 17th century. It can be lowered by a mechanism. This makes it possible to show different images, namely:
- the flagellation of Jesus during Lent
- Assumption of the Virgin Mary , i.e. the representation of the patronage of the Church, in the rest of the church year
Side figures of the high altar are Saints Catherine and Barbara , both created around 1670. The tabernacle is flanked by figures of angels. On a book with seven seals is a sculpture of the reclining Lamb of God .
The sculptures of Maria and Johannes on the choir arch were carved at the end of the 17th century. The altarpieces on the side altars date from the middle of the 18th century. The altarpiece of the north side altar shows the "holy three Madelas": Katharina, Margareta and Barbara. The altarpiece on the south side altar shows Mary as the Queen of the Rosary , who is dedicated to St. Dominic and St. Catherine of Siena presented the rosary . Both altars are framed by almost life-size archangels .
On consoles in the choir there are wooden figures of the four Latin Fathers of the Church from the second half of the 17th century: Augustine of Hippo , Ambrosius of Milan , Jerome and Gregory the Great . The interior of the nave includes several works by the Wasserburg sculptor Ferdinand Georg Hartmann or from his workshop from around 1720: Saints Peter and Paul, the four evangelists , a baptismal font and the depiction of Christ as the ruler of the world . During the renovation in 1923, the old wooden pulpit was removed and a high baroque pulpit was built around the pillar of the choir arch, in white stucco with ornaments.
Franz Joseph Soll painted the ceiling painting of the Marienkapelle around 1768. It shows how Esther interceded for the Jewish people before King Ahasver ( Esther 5,1–3 EU ). The Lady Chapel is named after the miraculous image : the sculpture of a late Gothic Madonna in a halo (around 1460). It was inserted into a rococo altar . The baby Jesus holds an apple instead of a pear in hand. The Madonna is flanked by Saints Catherine and Barbara (around 1770).
The ceiling paintings show:
- in the choir an allegory of the (then known) four continents (Europe, Africa, Asia and America) and in the stabbed caps a life of Mary
- in the nave the coronation of Mary by the Triune God , painted in 1774 by Franz Joseph Stelzer from Teisbach , and in the stitch caps scenes from the life of Jesus.
