history

History of origin

The name Maria im Mösl refers to a formerly existing small moor, known locally as Mösl . It is a diminutive of moss , a variant of the word moor .

According to pilgrimage legend, a chapel has stood in the Mösl since at least the first half of the 13th century. In 1241 the cult object revered in it was lost. It was decided to build a new chapel on a slightly elevated, not very humid place, in which the cult objects should be kept after they were found again. Abbot Konrad I (1230–1258) von Michaelbeuern chose the Viehberg for this. According to legend, the building material brought to the Viehberg was found overnight at the site by the previous chapel. Therefore, in 1242 either this was enlarged or a new one was built in its place. It is not known when the chapel was designed and consecrated as a church. This could have happened in 1376, when Ulrich and Seibot von Nussdorf held a daily St. Messe 116 donated Regensburg Pfennings .

The lost original cult object had not been found again, but after 1242 the chapel was still of a pilgrimage character. Furthermore, it is assumed that in the Middle Ages there was a common place of execution for the courts of Eching (St. Georgen) and Haunsberg (today's judicial district Oberndorf ) in Arnsdorf .

Building history

Detail view

In the years 1464–1467, Master Hans from Laufen built the large church tower that still exists today, presumably with a view to a planned new church. The new building only began when Abbot Bernard von Michaelbeuern ordered the construction of a new church, which Bishop Berthold von Chiemsee inaugurated on June 17, 1520.

The church and the high altar were dedicated to St. Consecrated to the Virgin , the west altar on the gallery of St. Catherine and the evangelist Mark .

In the 17th and 18th centuries, the late Gothic church was further redesigned and expanded with additions. It received a new baroque altar in 1677/78, on which the cabinet maker Matthias Steinle, among others , had worked. In 1686 he also manufactured the organ case that was previously available. The organist and painter M. Magdalena Rottmayr, mother of the Baroque painter Johann Michael Rottmayr , from Laufen, was also involved, and she received nine guilders for gilding two angels. In 1752 Abbot Martin II. Dorner (1731–1762) had the stone vault, the pillars and supporting arches of which darkened the church and cramped in space, demolished and replaced with a light hollow vault . Apparently the removal of the vault was carried out improperly, because it collapsed unexpectedly on April 12, 1752, killing four workers, four others were seriously injured. The high altar and the organ were also affected. The damaged high altar was then redesigned and set up again. In the middle it shows the miraculous image, a late Gothic Mary with child. The west altar on the loft already existing in 1520 is dedicated to St. Catherine and the Evangelist Mark . The two altars of the side chapels from 1722 have figures by Georg Itzlfelder, the northern altar panel shows a Rosary Madonna (1759), the southern the Holy Family.

The organ was repaired in 1753. In the middle of the 18th century the tower was raised and there is an archbishop's cross at the top. After heavy storms in 1838, the top of the original Baroque spire, consisting of two onions, was thrown down. Then the tower attachment without the second onion d. H. restored in simplified form. Altars, organ and various furnishings were originally painted black / gold, their now distinctive blue paintwork dates from 1847/48, and the high altar was marbled in red in 1904.

Cult item

Interior of the pilgrimage church

According to pilgrimage legend, the original cult object was lost around or before 1241. The current miraculous image is a wooden Gothic statue of the seated Mother of God with the child. The naked Jesus boy sitting on Mary's lap, lightly supported by his mother with his left hand, grasps her veil with his right hand and a grape with the left which she hands him . The Madonna has been integrated in the middle since 1758 - after the repair of the baroque high altar, which was damaged by the collapse of the vault in 1752. She wears a baroque crown, as does the baby Jesus. The statue is probably a work from Salzburg from around 1520.

Pilgrimage

A special feature is the tradition, which is still practiced to this day, that every newly elected Archbishop of Salzburg goes on a foot pilgrimage to Our Lady on the Mösl . Votives used to be penance stones and penance crosses.

organ

In 1686, the cabinet- maker Matthias Steinle from Mattsee made a case, veil boards and wooden pipes for a positive ; It has not yet been known which organ builder created the instrument himself. This positive, which had 4 registers during the repair by Johann Franz Xaver Egedacher in 1714  , was brought to the parish church of Lamprechtshausen in 1745. This task was done by the electoral organ builder Andreas Mitterreiter from Altötting , who also delivered a new organ with 6 registers and an attached pedal . In the course of the construction of the new organ in 1744/45, the body of the organ that has been preserved to this day was painted black by Joseph Anthoni Schrökher from Laufen and the carvings on it were gilded by him. In 1753, one year after the dramatic collapse of the vault, the damaged organ was repaired by journeyman organ maker Johannes Groll. Perhaps Groll also added 2 registers to the organ, because in 1820 Franz Xaver Gruber reported that the organ had 8 registers and, supposedly, was tuned two semitones too high, i.e. in the cornetto tone . During the repair and expansion of the organ in 1753, new carvings in the Rococo style were apparently added to the case, possibly by Johann Georg Itzlfeldner, who was commissioned to design the altars, the pulpit, the tabernacle, etc. from 1752 . In 1846, more than ten years after Gruber left Arnsdorf, the organ was rebuilt by Ludwig Mooser . The occasion was the first Mass of Simon Aicher from Arnsdorf, 1846. August 24, Mooser Advanced including the manual compass to the four missing notes of the short octave by sent to both side faces two Kanz Ellen anschäftete, and soldered to individual pipes Mitter rider extensions to to lower the mood. The organ has been preserved in this condition, but it was modified by Fritz Mertel in 1981 and restored in 1993.
