Assumption of Mary (Aub)
The Roman Catholic parish church of the Assumption is a baroque remodeled hall church in Aub in Lower Franconia district Würzburg . She belongs to the parish of the Assumption of Mary Aub in the deanery Ochsenfurt of the diocese of Würzburg .
History and architecture
The first documented church building in Aub dates back to 1136. The cathedral was planned as a three-aisled hall church with a western porch, a retracted choir and choir flank tower with a pyramid roof ; the western building dates from 1275 to 1280. Until 1464 the cathedral was Our Lady in the Au parish and monastery church of the Benedictine priory of Aub and about a third larger than today's church.
The west building is a remarkable example of the early reception of the Gothic . It consists of the ground floor hall and the gallery , both of which have three aisles in two bays with ribbed vaults . Cross-shaped pillars with set columns support the vault with double-grooved ribs in the lower hall . In the gallery there are bundle pillars from eight round services with smooth capitals . The capitals of the pillars are decorated with fine early Gothic foliage with masks and animals. The windows have tracery , some of which ends in flowers.
The portal has an ogival shape in a round-arched panel , above which a rose window is arranged. The details point to a mediation via the Upper Rhine and an origin presumably from the French Gothic. The rest of the structure was built in its current form from 1610 to 1615 and received the characteristic tower end ( real peak ). The church is a bright hall with tall windows. 1752 was nave nave transformed.
When the Allied troops attacked Aub on April 12, 1945, the parish church was badly damaged by artillery fire. Only the annealed walls of the nave and the choir with the high altar remained . The ceiling in the nave, the baroque pulpit , some capitals of the gallery and of the grave stone of the Steward of Baldersheim from 1510, a work of Riemenschneider school were destroyed. During the reconstruction after 1951, a steel structure was used to relieve the old masonry, the supports of which form the core of today's slender pillars. The original three-aisle structure of the church was indicated again.
Furnishing
The massive baroque high altar was created in 1682 by the Würzburg sculptor Johann Caspar Brandt. The two side figures Joachim and Anna , Maria's parents, and the tabernacle were carved by Johann Georg Auwera in 1781. The altarpiece shows the Assumption of Mary into heaven and is the work of the Würzburg court painter Oswald Onghers from 1692.
The side altars were carved from linden wood by the Kleinrinderfeld sculptor Willi Grimm in 1989 and show Our Lady and Saint Sebastian . The two older main characters were reused. The crucifixion group in the west building was created by Tilman Riemenschneider around 1510 and repaired in 1978.
A stone relief in the south facade that was badly damaged in 1945 comes from the last quarter of the 13th century and shows the disciples at the empty coffin of Mary. Another relief from around 1746 to 1753 shows a group of Mounts of Olives. The organ is a work by Michael Weise from 1957 with 24 stops on two manuals and pedal .
