history
The Ecclesia parochialis Pozchurdorf (the parish church of Pozo zu Kirchdorf) is mentioned around the year 790 . Nothing has survived from this pre-Romanesque building. Around the year 1200 a church was built by the Gurren von Kirchdorf in the Romanesque style. Pastor Ortlieb, the first parish priest known by name in Kirchdorf, celebrated in 1268 in a three-aisled Romanesque basilica built of stone . Secure witnesses of this church are still composed of granite listed West Portal , the arched wall of the northern nave and out of the tufa built and boulders crypt .
At that time the parish was subordinate to the diocese of Regensburg , which also exercised the patronage. What is certain is that Kirchdorf was the original parish of the County of Haag . In 1315, 14 branch churches were subordinate to her, i.e. half of the County of Haag: Rechtmehring, Freimehring, Maithenbeth, Oberndorf, Winden, Berg, Ramsau, Lengmoos, Rieden, Kirchreit, Limberg, Hochhaus and the castle chapels of Haag and Hohenburg. The pastors of Kirchdorf carried the title canon . In 1320 Kirchdorf came from the diocese of Regensburg to Freising; however, the patronage remained with Regensburg and was ceded to the county of Haag in May 1380.
In 1471 the Romanesque church underwent a radical renovation. Under the Hague Counts Johann and Wolfgang von Frauenberg, master builder Wolfgang Glarr had the Romanesque east choir removed and replaced with a Gothic one. The newly built church has become the Gothic "Cathedral of the Hague County". Around 1690 it was made baroque . The gallery above the aisles is part of this conversion. In a second construction phase around 1730, the gallery parapets and the stucco work, which already signal the beginning Rococo , were created. Between 1746 and 1749 the baroque high altar was built by Johann Aichorn with his Gsöllen . The priests from the Bartholomean Institute, who lived in the rectory built in 1677, looked after about 45 surrounding branch churches.
In 1798 and 1866 the tower was significantly changed: the Romanesque bell tower was given a pointed roof instead of the dome. The 19th century brought radical changes for the parish of Kirchdorf: the Hof branch church was demolished. Parts of the old parish broke away from the mother church and became independent parishes.
In 1907 and 1972 the church was renovated inside. A Gothic fresco was uncovered on the north side of the presbytery : Christ on the cross . The crypt of the church is the burial place of the Counts of Haag .
Interior
The pulpit is a baroque work around 1740. The ceiling paintings in the nave and in the chancel are Marian and deal with the scapular . Under the gallery on the right is the baptistery with late Gothic stone carvings.
Altars
On the high altar is a wooden figure of a Madonna and Child , the figure dates from the 15th century. On the first south side altar is a Gothic Pietà made from cast stone after 1400. On the north side altar, the cross altar, there is the carved group of figures Lamentation of Christ. The first south side altar is dedicated to St. Dedicated to Joseph .
In the second north side altar (Scapulier altar) the bones of St. Casta from the Callistus catacombs of Rome are kept in a glass shrine. The relic was acquired by the Hague County in 1735. The third north side altar is that of the Fourteen Holy Helpers . The second south side altar is dedicated to St. Sebastian .
crypt
The crypt of the Counts of Hague is located under the presbytery. Access is guaranteed through the vestry vestibule. Originally there were two entrances. This lower church is Romanesque and has walls made of rubble stones, strong granite girders and a cross-ridge vaulted ceiling made of tuff stone. The light and unadorned room closes with an apse to the east.
Originally the crypt was longer; Behind the second arch, the rest of the crypt was separated by a wall in the baroque period and filled with rubble. The floor level no longer corresponds to the original state, it used to be lower.
In the County-Hague Treaty of 1406, the crypt was designated as the hereditary burial place of the Hague Counts. Services were also held here. Last burials: 1557 Countess Kunigunde von Haag, 1566 Count Ladislaus, 1569 Countess Margaretha V. von Haag. After that, the crypt was closed. In 1800 it was sacked by the French military and then walled up. It was reopened around 1934; Restored in 1980 and inaugurated on August 31, 1980, it has been accessible ever since.
