history

High altar from 1716
Joyful Rosary , 1721

In the 14th century, the Archbishop of Salzburg allowed the "nobles of Thurn", whose residence was the castle in St. Jakob , to build a branch church in the parish of Thalgau . On May 1, 1324, Vicedom Heinrich von Lampoding († 1347) confirmed that the noble Jacob v. Thurn, as well as Jakob, Hertneid, Hermann and Ulrich, Brothers vd Thurn would have left 30 pounds Salzburg pfennigs (1 pound pfenning = 1 gulden ) until the Thalgau pastor released a building site, which would then be between Philippi (3 May) and Jakobi (July 25) in 1324 in order to carry out the construction of a church in the Geswant (= in the cleared area ), which they had already donated .

Archbishop Friedrich III. then signed a document himself on Martinstag 1324, in which he confirmed that the nobles von Thurn had donated the church and the property belonging to it in his favor , as well as a farm in Reitershausen . The church should be consecrated to the honor of “Our Lady” and “Saint Jacob”. He demanded that the people inside the forest , who often missed the church [in Thalgau] because of the long distance or were unable to visit because of snow and storms, should visit St. Should visit fair, namely the residents of Faistenau ( Vaistenow ), Tiefbrunnau ( Tevffenprunneow ) and Kühleiten ( Chueleuten ). He also pledged to Thalgau pastor (1324-1395?) Ortwein in Faistenau reading fairs and indeed every Sunday, Easter Sunday, Boxing Day , at Christmas, on Wednesday the Pentecost weekend, on Women's Day and in Dult on Kirchweihtag or Jakobitag; in addition to baptizing the newborns, caring for the sick , etc. On all other days the Faistenauer would have to continue to visit the parish church of Thalgau. In addition, the document reads: If the pastor does not comply with these regulations, he has to pay the cathedral dean for each failure with 60 pounds and the third with 1/2 pound, if the founder or one of their heirs takes an oath with two countrymen to confirm the default. The pastor also vows to celebrate an anniversary for the donors in the parish church of T. [halgau] on the 8th day after Allerseelen. The cathedral chapter is not allowed to withdraw the foundation assets [to the parish church Thalgau] .

As a cooperator on his way home from Hintersee with his horse in the snow at the Paul Häusl in Faistenau stuck and in misery froze, the chapter raised Filialkirche 1622 to a Vicariate. The first Vicar from Faistenau (1622–1637), Johann Christ Stängelmayr, could henceforth live in a newly built vicariate house and did not have to ride back to Thalgau. In 1873 the Vicariate Faistenau was elevated to a parish .

When the first church was built in 1324, the so-called 1000-year-old linden tree was probably already planted; today it forms the center of the village square. What this church looked like is not known and could only be discovered through an excavation. The western areas of the geosteten building was probably built in the 15th century, to which also the roof suggesting, because the wood was felled by the same 1484th On July 25, 1517, the Bishop of Chiemsee , Berthold Pürstinger , inaugurated the cemetery around the church, and the next day he consecrated two altars: the northern one, on the side of the Gospel, in honor of the three holli. Women Maria , Maria Magdalena and Anna , and the southern, epistle-sided in honor of the three hll. Men Georg , Markus and Florian .
In 1625, the church was extended to the south with a Nothelfer chapel, in which St. Rochus was represented, probably as a request to be spared the plague , which was already rampant in several surrounding communities. However, it then spread to Faistenau in 1628 and claimed countless victims.
Presumably with a view to building a larger and higher church, similar to the parish church in Thalgau, the Gothic church tower was raised in 1707 . It received an octagonal bell-shaped projectile, which merges into a tripartite onion helmet at the top . The spire is crowned with a Lorraine cross , which stands on a gold-plated tower ball . The helmet onions were covered with wooden shingles painted red , in 1956 the tower was given a copper sheet covering, which had to be completely renewed in 1976. The tower clock made by Jeremias Sauter in 1688 was housed in the now inoperable bell room , with three-arched sound windows and double Romanesque columns .
After the church tower had been raised, the “New Church” was to be built, as 6000 florins had already been saved for it. But it didn't happen. Instead, the nurse and pastor from Thalgau u. a. proposed to break open a new (vault) at the top of the choir , possibly the time when the church was extended to the east with an enlarged choir in 1720. Furthermore, the windows at the apex of the stitch caps were bricked up and large windows knocked out underneath. Until then, the church was almost completely frescoed , which were exposed through the high windows. During the renovation of the church in 1948/49, overpainted frescos with the date 1517 were discovered and partially exposed; the frescoes in the form of ornamental ribbons found on the side walls in 1980 were not saved. The wall paintings have been visible in the reveals of the insert niches on the north side, namely in the western one, the “hll. Rupert and Virgil "," Annunciation "by the archangel" Gabriel ", in the eastern scenes from the Passion of Christ :" Christ before Caiaphas "and" Pilate washes his hands in innocence ", then" Jesus washes his disciples' feet "and the "capture of Jesus Christ".

Furnishing

High altar

The high altar was made by an unknown carpenter and delivered in 1716 by the painter Josef Andrä Eisl. The structure with a pair of pillars / pilasters on each side is reminiscent of the high altar of the Franciscan Church in Salzburg. The altarpiece, the Rosary donation to the established on October 7, 1714 Confraternity of the Rosary is that of vicar (1714-1722) Johann Michael Boyfriend was launched and is probably shown on the right as a minister in the image. The altar is flanked by the statues of St. Johann B. and Johann Ev. , Over the rafters of the church towers patron Jacob with the attributes pilgrim's staff , Pilgrim , Pilgrim shoes, Pilgrim book and pilgrim coat with scallops as a stocking . 1721 sculptor delivered Paul Mödlhammer from Neumarkt two Dachungsengel for the altar, as well as leaves and Feston - hanger , with which 15 circular images might be meant by the context in Shape (= ring garlands) and connected with carved loops now attached to the top in the sheet of the chorus and were arranged around the high altar before 1980. The 15 secrets of the three rosaries are shown with their five laws each. A sarcophagus canteen and a rotating tabernacle complete the altar.

Side altars

The designs for the two side altars were made by the painter Mathias Wichlhamber from Neumarkt in 1684 and are preserved in the AES . The altars are black caught with gilding provided. The entablature rests on two Solomonic columns on each of which are gilded grapes - reliefs , a symbol of the two Eucharistic figures bread and wine . The left side altar was made by the Thalgau carpenter Wolf Reitlechner in 1687, the right by the carpenter Wolf Hauser in 1689/90. The altar sheet on the Gospel side (= women's side) shows the Holy Family , the tondo above St. Georg , both painted by Mathias Wichlhamer. On the epistle side (= men's side) you can see Maria , who teaches her mother Anna to read (painted after a composition by Rubens ), above is St. To recognize Leonhard ; both paintings are by Christof Scheen.

Rest of the facility

Not far from the rosary pictures, a crescent moon Madonna with a halo hangs from the ceiling, which is framed by a prayer chain , it could have come from Simon Fries . Noteworthy are the statues of the so-called Immaculate Conception as Mary stepping on a snake and the Risen Jesus with a chalice and cross. Then two more Jesus (before Pilate) as Ecce homo and Maria (under the cross) as Mater Dolorosa , these were created in 1702 by Meinrad Guggenbichler . The pulpit from 1768 is probably a workshop in Neumarkt and cost 100 guilders , possibly it was made by Andreas Altmann, Sebastian Eberl's successor.

organ

Reconstruction study: Karl Mauracher organ 1825 in the choir

The church in Faistenau had no organ instrument for about 500 years. The first organ was purchased by Johann Waibl, who was vicar in Faistenau from 1823 to 1826. It was delivered in 1825 by the Tyrolean organ builder Karl Mauracher (* 1789; † 1844). A gallery was set up for the parapet organ and the primary school children at the front left, by the altar. The case with the decorations carved from linden wood was supplied by the bourgeois master carpenter Johann Hacksteiner from Laufen , it was approx. 279 cm high, 140 cm wide and 62 cm deep. Hacksteiner's choice was obvious, because Karl Mauracher also created the new organ of the St. Nikola Church in Oberndorf (near Laufen until 1816), which Franz Xaver Gruber played on until 1829 . The first organist in Faistenau was called Franz Strobl. He was both an elementary school teacher and sacristan and presumably commissioned to introduce the folk song that Archbishop Augustin Johann Joseph encouraged and demanded. This instrument was dismantled by Matthäus Mauracher in 1863 and taken over for 70 guilders . The gallery and the pillars on which the organ had stood remained. Only the gap in the parapet was closed.

For this purpose, Matthäus Mauracher (* 1818; † 1884) built a new organ, which he set up on the western gallery, for which Franz Mitterecker, since 1857 Vicar of Faistenau, had church chairs moved from the rear to the front gallery. The organ had the following disposition : “ Principal  8 ′ (the lowest octave made of wood), Coppel 8 ′, Octav 4 ′ (the ten lowest notes made of wood), Flute 4 ′ (the lowest octave taken from the“ Octave 4 feet ”. ), Mixture 2 ′ (triple), octave bass 8 ′ (12 notes). ”The following is to be read:“ The range of play in the manual with 4 full octaves. At the same time, Mr. Orgelbauer ensures simple ornamentation and the like. Version of the organ case [s]. "

After the Second World War , when there was a shortage of raw materials everywhere, the Mauracher organ was dismantled and replaced by an instrument by Max Dreher (* 1886; † 1967), with the Salzburg cathedral music director Joseph Messner in charge of this process . From the beginning this instrument was prone to failure and was criticized for its optical, technical and tonal appearance.

Linder organ

In May 2015, the Faistenau parish organ committee awarded the order for a new organ with 18 stops to Orgelbau Linder , who, in consultation with Heribert Metzger , took over 82 Mauracher pipes that had been preserved in the Dreher organ. The organ consecration by Auxiliary Bishop Hansjörg Hofer , with Roman Schmeißner on the organ, took place on July 25th at Jakobi 2018. The instrument was heard for the first time with the organ prelude in C major by Johann Sebastian Bach (BWV 545).

Bells

Until 1916/17 there were 5 bells in the Faistenau church tower. According to the bell ID from 1916, these were: an Immerdorffer bell with a diameter of 124 cm from 1774, two Oberascher bells from 1877 with a diameter of 100 cm and 84 cm, one with a diameter of 78 cm from 1486 and one with 46 cm in diameter from 1580. On June 13, 1916, a delegation from Faistenau appeared at the State Conservatory Office for the Duchy of Salzburg to prevent the removal of the Gothic bell from 1486, which apparently succeeded. According to the bell pass, the Oberrascher bell from 1877 with a diameter of 84 cm was also excluded before acceptance. In a letter dated October 3, 1917, the Prince Archbishop's Consistory vehemently advocated the preservation of the Immendorfer bell, which was already stored on the Kirchbichler wood site , [...] because otherwise no bell from the 18th century would remain in the country . How many of the bells ended up in a so-called bell cemetery in 1917 cannot be determined at the moment; after 1945 only the Gothic bell from 1486 was preserved. In letter no. 5492 the Immendorfer bell is described as follows: The bell bears the inscription: Gaspar Immendorfer poured me MDCCLXXIV in Salzburg and the sculptures: Crucifixion, Maria im Strahlenkranze, St. Rochus and two Landsknechte. On the edge of the beating is a simple baroque ornament, but on the upper edge there is an ornament that alternates with the heads of Christ and Mary in Rococo ornamentation. A second stripe shows an ornament that replicates the banister in the Mirabell Castle and is therefore particularly interesting. In the ÖKT from 1913 the same is described somewhat differently, namely that the big bell with the representations of the apostle James , the hll. John and Paul , the crucifixion of Christ and St. Maria was provided and the inscription: Caspar Immerdorffer poured me in Salzburg in 1774 . The preserved bell from 1486 bears the ( minuscule ) inscription: o rex gloria sum usui in pace MCCCCLXXXVI .

Peal

Since 1949, the church has a four-part with ringing tone sequence is 1 -ges 1 -b 1 -c 2 . Of the four bells, three come from the Oberascher bell foundry . The currently smallest bell was cast in 1486 by an unknown bell caster, presumably on the Faistenau village square. The Jacob's bell (1) forms the basic bell for the full bells for high mass. The homecoming bell (2) is rung at the other masses and during the weekday masses, as well as for the weekday Angelus at 6 a.m., 12 p.m. and 8 p.m. To divorce ringing on Friday afternoon at 15 o'clock heard the Jacob Bell (1). Finally, after the evening angelus, the death bell (4) can be heard to the ringing of the poor soul .

Reconstruction and expansion plans of the church

As the church became too small with the increase in church attendance, plans arose to expand it. The first indications date from the years after 1700 and refer to a completely new building. On June 15, 1727 e.g. For example, when submitting an application to the consistory, it is pointed out that the community had already donated 3,600 guilders in 1708 and a further amount of 6686 guilders would be left for a new church. In 1869 a new building was planned for the church, in 1911 Karl Pirich , from whom the war memorial (changed in 2013), the exedra in the cemetery and the fountain house (which was destroyed in 2005) come, plans for a side aisle with neo-Gothic galleries. In 1934 Pastor Bäumer took the old plans to expand the church in Wörgl in 1912 in order to enlarge the Faistenauer in a similar way. In the 1960s, solutions were discussed, such as the expansion of the parish church in Maxglan 1952–1956, and a new one was built in the 1970s and 1980s , larger choirs discussed. The architects Clemens Holzmeister and Hans Hofmann provided plans for this . In the course of such a measure, the intention was to move the cemetery to a field at the foot of the Kugelberg.

However, only measures that interfered with the overall impression of the church were implemented: a western people's gallery built in 1693, which protrudes far into the nave, in 1825 the installation of an organ gallery in the choir, with several capitals of the northern pilasters being removed and the symmetry in the presbytery disturbed, and before 1913 the knocking out of the six services in the Gothic part of the church.
