history
The district of Rieden-Vorloster was supplied by the Mehrerau monastery . In 1910 an emergency chapel was built in the school building. The architect Georg Baumeister designed a church in 1907 and the architect Willibald Braun in 1917 . In 1917, during the First World War, the concern of a war memorial church for the state of Vorarlberg arose. Architect Clemens Holzmeister planned the church from 1921, which was built from 1925 to 1931 and consecrated in 1931. In 1980 the interior of the church was restored and reorganized with the architect Hans Purin .
Thanksgiving Church
Clemens Holzmeister combines the central church space with the adjoining choir and side chapels and a multi-storey tower with two upstream wing buildings of the rectory and chaplain’s house with a forecourt as atrium with pillar arcades to form a single complex. The oval central room with two semicircular side chapels and a choir as a conche are covered with tent and hipped roofs. The tower in the east has five tapering octagonal floors and a tent roof and arched windows.
The relief of St. Michael above the arched arcade was created in 1932 by the sculptor Albert Bechtold . The ceiling fresco of the Madonna with the Trinity for soldiers and wounded was painted by Leo Sebastian Humer in 1931 . The structured band with reliefs of symbols of the Virgin Mary around the fresco was created in 1931 by the sculptor Gudrun Baudisch-Wittke . The windows in the chancel were based on a design by Clemens Holzmeister. The glass painting based on a design by Anton Faistauer was carried out by Robin Christian Andersen after his death and produced by the Tyrolean glass painting company. More stained glass windows, designed by Leopold Fetz led Glas Marte from.
The altar with a canopy made of sheet silver with the figure of Mary and Child was created in 1931 by the sculptor Hans Andre with the collaboration of Gudrun Baudisch-Wittke . The designs of the tabernacle, the lecture cross and the candlesticks are by Clemens Holzmeister. Leo Sebastian Humer painted the Stations of the Cross in 1931. A crucifix by Albert Bechtold is from 1933.
In the entrance chapels there is a Pietà from the 17th century on the left and a figure of St. Anthony from the 18th century on the right.
organ
The organ of the parish church Mariahilf was built in 1931 by the organ building company Gebrüder Mayer (Feldkirch-Altenstadt) and last extensively restored by the same in 1987/88. The instrument has 38 stops on two manual works and a pedal ; the disposition is based on a romantic sound concept in the sense of the Alsatian organ reform . The registers of the main work are distributed over two locations in the nave (west gallery, front gallery); In addition, individual registers of the Schwellwerk can be registered in the main plant (transmissions). The playing and stop actions are electro-pneumatic.
