Rectory (Eppishausen)

Rectory in Eppishausen

The rectory in Eppishausen , a municipality in the Unterallgäu district in the Bavarian administrative district of Swabia , was built in 1764/68. The former rectory at Kirchheimer Straße 5, at the southwestern foot of the Kirchberg, is a protected monument .

Building description

The two-storey saddle roof construction with eaves cornice and tail gable over volute curves has six window axes on the main facade. The west wing was added in the first half of the 19th century and its tail gable is divided into three floors by cornices. The lowest storey of the gable has two rectangular windows and is bordered by stepped volute curves. The middle gable floor is delimited by concave slopes and contains a rectangular window. The structure is completed with a curved segment gable. The entrance to the building is through a door in the third axis from the west on the south side. In front of it there is a renewed two-flight flight of stairs . There is a round arch niche above the door. The hallway on the ground floor has a flat ceiling over a valley. In some cases, there are still paneled doors from the time the building was built. On the north side, a staircase with board balusters on the railing leads to the upper floor.

Interior

In 1971 several historical pieces of equipment were mentioned in the literature. For example the wooden figure of the poor souls from the 18th century, a lecture crucifix with a vine-entwined cross from the second quarter of the 18th century. The figure of a female saint with a book also dates from the same period. The large crucifix on the ground floor was created around 1760/1770. Johann Nepomuk Weckerle from Edelstetten probably created the painting of Mary in front of the Infant Jesus around 1870. The three images of fasting with the depiction of Jesus on the Mount of Olives, the crowning of thorns and the flagellation are on the back with Edelstetten d. March 15, 1873 and should therefore be a work of the painter Weckerle. The rounded, closed picture with Maria and her parents dates from the middle of the 19th century. The half-length of the Mater Dolorosa from the second half of the 19th century. A watercolor pen drawing shows the view of the church and rectory. The drawing marked with the plan of the parish rival property in Eppishausen comes from the 19th century. In a cycle of 12 curly images, Jesus is shown with the apostles . The half-figures were created in the second half of the 19th century. On the upper floor there are two wooden carved and painted coats of arms. These are for Cajetan Josef Graf Fugger (1731–1764, Herr von Kirchheim) and his wife Maria Anna, née Stein von Rechtenstein.
