The parish church of the Assumption of Mary is a Roman Catholic church in the village of Asten in the town of Tittmoning in the Upper Bavarian district of Traunstein .
history
The architect Michael Sallinger, a student of Stephan Krumenauer , who completed the new building of the Salzburg Franciscan Church , was commissioned as the architect . Sallinger was also involved as an expert in the construction of the Frauenkirche in Munich. There was already a pilgrimage to St. Mary in the 14th century . Prince Archbishop Sigismund I von Volkersdorf wanted to promote the pilgrimage through the stately church building. The octagonal tower structure and the baroque dome were built around 1765. Inside is the most important altar by the Tittmoningen baroque sculptor Johann Georg Itzlfeldner from 1747. The center of the high altar is a late Gothic Madonna.
architecture
With a renovation of the previous church, the new choir was consecrated in 1415 and the finished nave was consecrated in 1461. The construction of the new tower began after 1466. The tower was raised in 1764. The church was renovated inside in 1949 and outside in 1980.
The church is one of the largest Gothic churches in the southeastern Bavarian region. The slightly elevated church building and the sacristan's house form a stately hipped roof building and thus a subassembly that defines the townscape. The single-nave, three-bay tufa block structure has a single-bay, non-retracted choir with a triangular closure. Two sacristies are added to the south. The church is held all around with double buttresses. The west tower lying in the axis is structured by cornices, arched and three-pass friezes. The top floor of the tower is octagonal and has an onion helmet with a lantern.
Inside the church, a net vault made of diamonds with different side lengths rests on shield arches and round services with profiled capitals. In the tower the vault rests on consoles. The brick-built western gallery in neo-Gothic forms is accessed via spiral stairs emerging from the side of the church.
Furnishing
The stately high altar with inclined double columns and side gateways was built in 1747 based on a design by the sculptor Johann Georg Itzlfeldner from Tittmoning. In the center of the altar is a Virgin from the last quarter of the 15th century. To the side of it are carvings by Itzlfeldner, inside the figures of St. Catherine and St. Barbara and outside St. Magdalena and St. Apollonia. In the choir, a former altarpiece shows St. Achatius, painted by the painter Tobias Schinnagl (1662). The north side altar by Joseph Huber bears a carved Sebastian group by Itzlfeldner. The southern side altar from the 2nd half of the 17th century shows an oil painting of Anna Selbdritt, probably by Schinnagl. On the south portal and on the sacristy door there are fittings with lily ends from the 15th century. The Diocesan Museum in Freising houses the Madonna von Asten, an exquisitely carved wooden figure of the Enthroned Mother of God around 1340.
