Obertrübenbach is a church village and a district in the Upper Bavarian Forest and part of the municipality of Roding in the district of Cham, five kilometers south-east .

The townscape is particularly characterized by grouped courtyards and intensive greenery, which is why the town won several prizes in the competition " Our village should be more beautiful " in the 1980s . The Obertrübenbach district covers almost 580 hectares, 60 of which are owned by the Filialkirchenstiftung.

history

The origins of the place go back to the ministerial family of Trübenbecker or Trübenbacher. This appears for the first time in 1160 with “Tagobert von Trübenbach” in a monastery document from Reichenbach .

On July 1, 1971, the previously independent community, consisting of the main town Obertrübenbach, Brunnhof , Dachshof , Elend , Haidhof , Hochbrunn , Tannhof and Untertrübenbach , was incorporated into the town of Roding.

Former branch church of St. Peter and Paul

Church of St. Peter and Paul in Obertrübenbach

The originally Romanesque church of St. Peter and Paul was probably originally part of Obertrübenbach Castle , which has now been completely abandoned. Up until the 19th century it could be reached through a stone wall with two gates; today it stands free on a slope. St. Peter and Paul was mentioned for the first time in 1391 as a branch of the Roding parish .

It is a so-called Romanesque country church with a secular upper floor , built in the second half of the 12th century. Similar systems can be found in Wilchenreuth , Schönkirch , Hof near Oberviechtach , Schönfeld near Wald, Harting and Barbing near Regensburg .

The upper floor probably served as a pilgrims' hostel or place of refuge / asylum for a limited group of people. However, it was not a fortified church or fortified church that served the local defense. The former lacked the necessary defensive facilities such as loopholes , while the latter lacked the reinforced wall and the exposed location.

The probably original rectangular choir of the church was replaced in the Gothic period by a three-sided apsidal choir with a smooth interior . Here there are two narrow lancet windows with tracery noses to the side. Four of the windows sloping on the inside have been preserved, otherwise there are later openings in the form of arched windows.

The barrel-vaulted space carries a western gallery, the same curvature is shown by the by a round belt bow separate chorus .

In the vault over the west gallery , the manhole is located on the first floor in original rectangular enclosure. The approximately 3 m high upper floor is enlarged by a wall recess on all sides. The beam holes located at a height of 2 m on the side walls indicate another upper floor, which may have been abandoned as part of the Gothicization of the church.

The original total height of the church building was around 10 m. The walls at the base are about 2 m thick. The interior is rather sparse and without exception more recent. The right side altar shows Saint Peter , on his head he wears the tiara as an insignia of the papacy, in his hand the cross staff. The Madonna on the left side altar is reminiscent of medieval depictions of a queen. The way of the cross and the baroque organ should also be noted.

During the exterior renovation (1977–1979), the granite ashlar structure was given new plastering, the shingled onion roof turret dates from the 18th century. In the most recent restoration up to 2008, the interior, which is no longer needed as a sacred space, was redesigned in a historicizing way and converted into a small museum.

Catholic branch church of St. Peter and Paul

This church is a new building from the 20th century with a corner structure . Since there were only 70 seats available in the Romanesque church, this new branch church of the Roding parish was built between 1935 and 1937 under the same patronage.

Its main altar from 1708 from the old branch church shows winding columns with grapes and acanthus tendrils , the altar sheet Maria with Jesus and John boys (18th century, from the former castle chapel Wetterfeld ), the excerpt above the altar sheet shows the Holy Trinity, father, son and the Holy Spirit. To the left of the high altar stands the figure of St. Leonhard, with a broken chain and abbot's staff, as one of the fourteen helpers in need. On the right you can see the statue of St. Sebastian, the saint of plague pierced by arrows. The organ dates from the 18th century, the Stations of the Cross from 1768.
