The Roman Catholic parish church Kaisersteinbruch is located in the Kaisersteinbruch cadastral parish of the municipality of Bruckneudorf in the Neusiedl am See district in Burgenland . It is consecrated to the plague saints Rochus and Sebastian and belongs to the Deanery Neusiedl am See in the Diocese of Eisenstadt . The building is a listed building . It is the former guild church of the stonemasons and masons in Kaisersteinbruch .

history

The oldest known predecessor building was a chapel , which was demolished because the chapel was enlarged . During these years, the residents received pastoral care from the neighboring parishes of Winden am See and Sommerein . Therefore, the epitaphs of the master stonemasons Alexius Payos from 1591 and Cyprianus Novoalas from 1595 (currently in the Mannersdorf Museum) are at the Sommerein Church.

In 1617, when the plague was rampant in the imperial quarry on Leithaberg and in the surrounding areas, stonemasons made the vow to build a chapel if they survived. The Heiligenkreuz as manorial donated the land available.

In the same year 1617, the brotherhood of the Kaisersteinbruch Masters was given the status of an independent quarter drawer , which was assigned to the main drawer in Wiener Neustadt . To the quarter store belonged the stonemasons to Sommerein (until 1783, then to Bruck an der Leitha ) and Winden am See and Jois (until the end). The imperial privilege of the craft order regulated both secular and ecclesiastical coexistence.

start of building

On November 21, 1618, the Kaisersteinbruch Brotherhood, in the presence of Father Christoff Schwarzböck, Pastor von Winden and responsible for Steinbruch , the master bricklayer of Ebenfurth Steffan Friedrich the slip sheet , the order for precisely defined construction work according to their plan. (Excerpt) .. that according to his promises he would make the sacristy and a vault outside the church door and pave the church, all of this at his expense .. signed by the masters Andre Ruffini and Ulrich Payos from the quarry.

On this work November 21 received one hundred thalers .

Benefactor of the Church

Some special donors for the new church. The Roman Emperor , also King Matthias of Hungary and Bohemia, graciously allowed 50 guilders to be given to the building of this church on August 16, 1618, the Roman Empress Anna 20 gulden on August 30, 1618. The High Princely Majesty, Archduke Maximilian of Austria (Brother of the emperor) the same 20 guilders, October 26th, 1618 and the royal majesty of Hungary and Bohemia, Archduke Ferdinand II, also grants 20 guilders on December 1st, 1618 ... after 1623 the most serene wife Isabella, Duchess of Friedland, has a white, doppeltaftenes chasuble and albums revered.

The Italian-Swiss masons and stonemasons turned to Emperor Ferdinand II in 1624 with a request for their own craft regulations . But the German craftsmen retained their freedoms, the Italians had to accept the prescribed order. A conflict arose while the German stonemasons were celebrating at the wooden Peter and Paul altar at St. Stephan , while in Kaisersteinbruch it was an altarpiece with the Assumption of Mary , the Trinity and the plague saints Rochus and Sebastian. The stonemason brotherhood demanded the right to the church building and to appoint the pastor of their choice, opposite the Heiligenkreuz Abbey. Their argument was that with the money they gave and their labor they were the builders. They had the Viennese lawyer Dr. Rosei entrusted with this matter - the document has been preserved. The billing accounts of this time are all lost. In 1647 the brotherhood decided ... to complete the church and the cemetery and to let them be benedicated at their own expense, without any action or will, from your grace (Mr. Abbot), so that they keep Jus patronus (parish appointment right) themselves . This resulted in the " eagle dispute ", the imperial double eagle was painted on the church tower.

Consecration

The church was consecrated on July 30, 1652 by Abbot Michael Schnabel of the Heiligenkreuz Abbey. The brotherhood had originally asked Heinrich Wolter von Streversdorf , auxiliary bishop in Cologne , Kurmainzer advice and advice of the Archduke Leopold of Austria, for it. Pilgrimages to the church in the imperial quarry have been known since 1645 .

1683, burning villages around Vienna

The judge in the quarry, court sculptor Pietro Maino Maderno , extended the right to mount the Salva Guardia eagle on the houses and on a wooden pillar in the center of the village to the church tower and had the black double eagle painted there. This gave rise to the "Eagle Dispute", which shaped the entire history of Kaisersteinbruch.

Destruction by war

During the second Turkish siege in July 1683, like in other places in the area, all houses and churches were set on fire. Two side altars by Giorgio Regondi and Antonius Pery were preserved and restored by Sebastian Regondi and Johann Paul Schilck .

New high altar

Seal by Joh. Georg Aichner, sculptor from Gumpoldskirchen

Elisabeth Cremserin, a widowed meat chopper , donated 400 fl in her will in 1692 for a new altar in the local church. On May 9, 1692, judges Ambrosius Ferrethi and Reichardt Fux received the amount. The altar was not rebuilt, but came from the church in Trumau . It was made of wood and was artistically designed for the local church. Contracts with Johann Georg Aichner, sculptor from Gumpoldskirchen , in addition to the carpentry and sculpture work, there were 2 statues of St. Matthew and St. Elisabeth . With Adrian Bloem, Viennese painter , because of an altar leaf and with Heinrich Wildernt, Viennese gilder , because of the setting of the altar.

Pastor Thomas Stocker von Wilfleinsdorf

On March 4, 1708, the written Wilfleinsdorfer Pastor Stocker an extensive, hand-written by him Testament . In it he asked .. he wants SSRochi and Sebastiani in salvation in the house of God. Kreuzer quarry to be buried . For this he also donated 20 guilders

Baroque finish completed

After the final victory over the Turks in Vienna, unprecedented construction activity broke out. The time of siege and destruction was replaced by a joie de vivre that was expressed in a completely different way of life. Vienna became a city of baroque architecture and had a strong pull on building professionals in the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation. The genius Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach realized all of this in the total work of art in the Karlskirche in Vienna . One of his employees, the stonemason Elias Hügel who worked in the imperial quarry and immigrated from Franconia, processed this spirit and the forms in his stone altars . The extension and baroque design of the now two-tower church based on plans by Elias Hügel was completed in 1745. The high altar was built in 1720 by the stonemasons' brotherhood , the side chapel with cross altar in 1738 by Elias Hügel.

The final high altar

The names of the Constructores are carved on a stone tablet : Elias Hügel, Johann Paul Schilck , Johann Baptist Kral , Simon Sasslaber , Franz Trumler and Joseph Winkler . These benefactors were prayed for in church services until the 20th century.

"St. Maria “bell

On April 22nd, 1726, the honorable stonemasonry decided to put a larger bell to go with the chimes of the local church. When bell-founder Franz Scheigl in Vienna, she commissioned a bell with eleven hundredweight and paid 627 fl . The brotherhood voluntarily took over 267 fl. The missing 360 fl was financed by the masters Elias Hügel, Simon Sasslaber, Johann Baptist Kral, Joseph Winkler, Franz Trumler and Johann Baptist Regondi on the condition that the bell should only be rung for the stonemasons and journeymen , everyone else has to pay the church 1 fl 45 kr .

In honor of the Blessed Virgin and Virgin Mary consecrated Abbot Gerhard of Stift Heiligenkreuz as a landlord on May 27, 1726 St. Mary bell. For the first time, the bell rang for Felix Freywiller .

Inscription from Elias Hill

The church accounts for many years have been preserved in the Heiligenkreuz archives and provide interesting information, the particularly important years from 1738 to 1745 have disappeared, the contribution of the stone masonry brotherhood cannot be traced. So it is significant that Master Elias Hill chiseled the words on his epitaph

... THE HOUSE OF GOD ALSO SPEAK OF ITS GLORY - WHERE THE TWO OF ITS OLD DRAWN AND BUILD ...

Church father

The church father , also the church father, was an elected or appointed representative of the parish who, together with the pastor, administered the material things, such as the control of the parish assets.

Son Michael

Some examples: 1672 Mathias Cremser, butcher master, 1682 Jonas Fückhler, butcher master, 1691 Reichardt Fux , 1738 Franz Abt, 1756 Andreas Kowalt, 1792 Bernhard Gehberger, carpenter, 1825 Balthasar Arnt, Herrschaft Königshof, 1869 Joseph Amelin, 1932 Ludwig Markowitsch. Without a profession, it is a master stonemason.

Pilgrimage church

The order of worship of the 18th century, and certainly some decades before, shows a frequent sequence of incoming and outgoing processions . After Kaisersteinbruch the pilgrims came from Winden am See , Breitenbrunn am Neusiedler See , Höflein , Wilfleinsdorf , Sommerein , Göttlesbrunn , Reisenberg , Trautmannsdorf , Rohrau , Bruck an der Leitha , Purbach and Vienna .

These are clear signs that the everyday life of people during this epoch, the Baroque period, was more marked by pilgrimages than before and afterwards. The spectrum of baroque pilgrimages ranged from classic pilgrimages to local pilgrimages. The popular piety had the consequence that the surrounding area was occupied with holy places , thus a regionalization of the sacred .

Neusiedler pilgrimage

The pilgrimage from Neusiedl am See to Kaisersteinbruch took place on August 17th. It was a " plague promise " since 1645. In the book by Josef Rittsteuer "Neusiedl am See" you can read on page 144 :: .. so you had to get the approval of the brotherhood in Neusiedl when you started the pilgrimage To move the Kaisersteinbruch from the Rochustage to the following Sunday . After the community council and the brotherhood had given their approval, they did not go until the Sunday after Rochus Day (August 17th). Accordingly, Kaisersteinbruch was an important place of pilgrimage because of the plague, and Rochus was the plague patron. The rush on Rochustag was so great that the new settlers postponed the pilgrimage for a week.

Rittsteuer writes about the Neusiedler Rosenkranzbruderschaft , which took part in the procession to Kaisersteinbruch in 1673 and went along with it.

Pilgrimage of the Rohrau rule

The Rohrau rule held pilgrimages to the Rochus and Sebastian Church in the imperial quarry on Leithaberg - for example in 1746 because of a cattle disease. These were organized by Mathias Haydn, master magician and market judge von Rohrau. He was the father of two famous sons, Joseph and Johann Michael . Both boys received their first musical impressions at the great church music for which the procession after Kaisersteinbruch was famous.

Specification - the expenses incurred on the feeding of the clergy and their judges in Kayser quarry in 1746. First 20 pounds of beef , 1/2 pound of butter, milk cream and bread .. for the Hoch Ambt the pastor of Göttlesbrunn, a Father Capuziner for a Holy Mass, for the pastor of Scharndorf , for the clergyman in Haslau , for the sacrificial candles , for the church fathers and flag-bearers in Rohrau, the Hollernern , the Schönabrunnern , the Haslauern, the Göttlesbrunnern, the Scharndorfern ... the people in Steinbruch in their Dwelling , eating, and giving the same wood and kitchen utensils to the cook and other small expenses .. total 13 guilders 55 kreuzers .

From the Meierhof : 4 geese, 8 handlings and 20 young pigeons. Signature of Mathias Haydn Market Judge.

Bruck procession

The Bruck procession, traceable since 1721, always took place on September 20th at Matthäus . The Rosary Brotherhood organized pilgrimages to Kaisersteinbruch on August 17th. These were made on the basis of a vow made in 1645 because of the plague. On Rochus Day in August, the rush must have been so great that the new settlers postponed their procession to the following Sunday or for a week.

Spiritual brotherhoods

St. Sebastian and Rochus Brotherhood

St. Roch and Sebastian Brotherhood

It was founded on August 16, 1747 (Rochus Day) in Kaisersteinbruch. Master stonemason Franz Leopold Winkler was the administrator and kept the brotherhood account book, income from the brotherhood vineyards, payment of the pastor, etc.

Vineyards in Purbach

On February 6th, 1748 the parish abbot Robert Leeb reported about the newly founded St. Rochus and Sebastian Brotherhood and requested a new mass order. Mr. Maximilian Kayser, linen weaver in Waizenkirchen in Upper Austria , donated 2 vineyards in the Purbach area , giving him and his family 4 hl throughout the year for eternity. To read masses.

Counter-reformation

The local Roman Catholic priest was obliged to keep records annually , for example 1715 .. there is no person in the local parish who is obliged to adhere to this command and who has not performed the Easter confession and communion . There is no non-Catholic here, except for a butcher servant, who, however, has no will to remain there. Nobody is to be found here who has or reads uncatholic books, but all of them diligently and diligently attend to our Catholic teaching, diligent and diligent in attending the services , sermons and catechism .

New organ

On July 12, 1795, Johann Gottfried Malleck , a bourgeois organ builder in Vienna, received the order for a new organ with ten stops and a pedal for the local church. The setting was carried out by Johann Pauler, gilder in Vienna. The organ was struck for the first time on April 19, 1796 with a pontifical mass and a well- attended music by Leopold Heldenmuth, organist at Heiligenkreuz.

Fire disaster

Seal of the quarry parish, 19th century

On July 26, 1814, a conflagration broke out in the quarry, which laid 22 houses and churches in the ashes. Many years later, in 1825, the towers were rebuilt . For this, the carpenter from Trautmannsdorf, Johann Terglautschnig, demanded large sums of money in 1850, he wrote to the pen .. not only for my little fortune, I am in outrageous debts and for my existence .

"Franciscus" bell

Summary of November 1, 1837: The “St. Maria ”bell from 1726 fell from the tower during the fire and broke. The honorable stonemasons decided to have this bell made at their own expense, as in the past. This bell was cast in Ödenburg by the bell caster Zettenhofer (Friedrich Seltenhofer), for which 403 fl 37 kr were paid. This bell was inaugurated on November 8, 1825 in the local church by Abbot Franz Xaver Seidemann as the landlord and the name Franciscus Xaverus was added and therefore called the Franciscus bell.

The entire honorable trade voluntarily paid 308 fl, the following master stonemasons Michael Gehmacher, Carl Gehmacher, Laurenz Pansipp, Johann Pansipp , Joseph Winkler, Michael Stockinger, Mathias Drexler , Franz Gehmacher, Anton Gehmacher, Philipp Perchthold paid the lost 96 fl.

Church service on Sundays and public holidays 1839

The very highest ordinances of His holy majesty Emperor Ferdinand I are repeatedly announced and recommended to everyone: (in extracts) ..

  • No craftsmen dare to do their business on Sundays and public holidays.
  • That in most places all inns and taverns are already overcrowded with drinkers on Sundays and public holidays in the mornings , and that the drinking party in the inns continues until late at night and often until the next morning .. accordingly, it is ordered until the end of the afternoon service to preserve the devotion of the visitors.
  • From now on it is strictly forbidden to load or unload wagons on Sundays and public holidays, every carter should load one day before the public holiday.
  • No carter may undertake to continue his journey at these times of devotion. The local chiefs have to keep a watchful eye on this.

The Corpus Christi procession was the main festival of the stonemasons from the beginning, until the end, with the wearing of the large guild flag , the exact clothing regulations up to the ice cream gloves. Towards the end, in the 1930s, almost all of the boys had to work abroad as unskilled workers, a few were able to find work in Master Amelin's Blauer Bruch , no longer for building blocks, but for gravel extraction , the stonemason era was finally over.

Abbot Gregor Pöck sold the church building, after which it was destroyed by war and occupation

In 1938, in connection with the incorporation of Austria into the German Reich , the resettlement was ordered in Kaisersteinbruch, the prisoner-of-war camp Stalag XVII A needed space, the Heiligenkreuz Abbey left the local parish immediately and permanently and Abbot Gregor Pöck sold the church building to the German Settlement Society 75,000  Reichsmarks . The Apostological Administration of Burgenland in Mattersburg asked the abbot on March 31, 1939 whether the altars of the former parish church Kaisersteinbruch could be given to a parish church in Burgenland, if the latter would bear the costs of transport . Seen in this way, it is “lucky” that the high altar and the hill altar in particular have remained in the church. However, two side altars, a Marien altar 1732 by Hügel and its opposite, a Joseph altar, were sold to Hundsheim in 1969 and in 1972 to Wolfsthal after the church consecration in 1962 . From 1940 until the end of the war, Josef Franzl, chaplain in Bruck an der Leitha , held services here. Documented as the parish rector of Kaisersteinbruch, he was allowed - which was actually forbidden - to celebrate masses with French and Polish prisoners of war in the barracks. Already in the peace of 1945 he held the “ Corpus Christi procession of his life” with soldiers from many European countries .

Three bells

Mayor Josef Wolf wrote the last years of its long history in poetry in 1962 (excerpts)

  • Nineteen and fourteen took the big bells , melted them down and turned them into cannons. Instead of delighting us with its sound, it now had to spew death and fire.
  • Nineteen thirty and nine , then they got the little one too. Instead of sounding brightly, it too must bring pain and suffering to mankind.
  • Nineteen forty and eight, they brought the middle one to Sommerein . From there you can hear her screaming every day, "Get me at last, I want to go home!" ...
  • You came home on November nineteenth, sixty and two, and the church was consecrated by Bishop László . And with the first stroke of the bell, the “ Te Deum- Laudamus” sounded as a hymn of praise!
Before the restoration in 1991

Easiest restoration

Seriously damaged by the consequences of the war during the years of Soviet occupation , only a ruin remained. Demolition was considered, the Diocese of Eisenstadt, as the new owner, decided on a simple restoration without paying particular attention to monument protection . With the consecration of the church in 1962, a new beginning was set in the village. Today the building has been magnificently restored - with God's help - from our own Kaisersteinbrucher. Kaisersteinbruch has been part of Bruckneudorf since 1971. Bruckneudorf does not have its own church building, is assigned to Bruck an der Leitha , i.e. the Archdiocese of Vienna . Kaisersteinbruch with the large church, based on its stonemason history, is today the pastoral care center of the Diocese of Eisenstadt . In the past, this was looked after by the pastor of Wilfleinsdorf or by the pastor of Bruck an der Leitha in the Archdiocese of Vienna. Since 2014, the Eisenstadt diocese has taken on responsibility again and entrusted the pastor of Jois and Winden am See with pastoral care in Kaisersteinbruch.

The four preserved altars

They are made of the hard white imperial stone .

  • High altar, 1720 a work of the brotherhood, 1995 "reappeared"

  • 2016 with the putti in full ornament

  • Hill Altar, 1738, with a crucifixion group from the late 19th century.

  • the restored Regondi altar with the picture "Whitsun miracle"

  • Pery altar, restored by Schilck in 1717

Consecration of the Cross

Kaisersteinbrucher Way of the Cross

The new, now complete Way of the Cross was inaugurated with a truly ecumenical celebration as part of the Margaretha Ruffinin Symposium on July 1, 1995 . Helmuth Furch, chairman of the museum and cultural association and Protestant, organized the celebration. The festival mass was celebrated by Diocesan Bishop Paul Iby and the final blessing was donated by the Romanian Metropolitan Nicolae Serafim. The sculptor Alexandru Ciutureanu , Romanian Orthodox Christian about his work: I am fascinated by the material ( bronze cast on a stone frame) and the light. The church is circled by the sun. It is very beautiful how the rays of the sun fall on these cross-reliefs in the church. I created 47 figures in the 14 stations. These figures - I think - can tell what the Way of the Cross has to tell .

Most of the funding came from private donors , plus a subsidy from Kulturkontakt Austria . The picture below shows the "Crucifixion of Christ" as a quote .

"Stalag XVII A"

Consecration of the bronze relief Stalag XVII A

The ordered evacuation of the place and the establishment of the prisoner- of- war camp Stalag XVII A with all the terrible consequences (camp cemetery) was commemorated on November 28, 1999 by the Museum and Culture Association . A bronze relief of the camp by the Romanian sculptor Alexandru Ciutureanu (1939–1999) was consecrated by several priests. A television team from Radio Burgenland with editor Helmut Manninger interviewed contemporary witnesses, reported on the camp cemetery, museum and the ceremony in the church. The ecumenical consecration was carried out by Pastor Josef Franzl, Joan Marin Malinas, Archimandrite of the Romanian Uniate Church, Herbert Sojka, from the Polish Church in Vienna, Peter Okeke, local pastor from Nigeria and Armin Cencic, Protestant pastor from Bruck an der Leitha.

Celebration of the consecration 350 years ago

On July 30, 1652, Abbot Michael Schnabel consecrated the Kaisersteinbrucher Church (see above). The Kaisersteinbruch Museum and Culture Association asked Abbot Gregor Henckel-Donnersmarck of the Heiligenkreuz Abbey on July 14, 2002 to commemorate this consecration and to renew it. In the sense of the numerous documented conflicts, the mutual forgiveness lead to peace and harmony . The stone reliefs of the 5th  European Symposium Kaisersteinbruch were presented on the same day .

"Apotheosis of Elias Hill"

Europe devotion with Pastor Josef Franzl, Otto von Habsburg

The most outstanding master of the Kaisersteinbruch brotherhood of stonemasons , Elias Hügel , died in 1755. To commemorate the 250th anniversary of his death, the museum association commissioned the Vienna academy. Painter Raja Schwahn-Reichmann with the oil painting “ Apotheosis of Elias Hill” for the Kaisersteinbrucher Church. The presentation and consecration took place on May 26, 2005, on the occasion of the 8th European Symposium.

Image description: Elias Hügel is depicted as a Freemason . He fought for freedom , for some rights, such as the choice of pastor, teacher, landlord etc. and had to bear the consequences for this. He had to practice his brotherhood with the fellow masters of the Kaisersteinbruch Brotherhood, although he was often in charge. There is no template about its appearance, so the artist has oriented a little on Emperor Franz Stephan , husband of Maria Theresa .

His master's mark as a coat of arms , the circle of the draftsman, the church builder, like the Windener , the Kaisersteinbrucher church expanded by him and baroque . Five angels raise the picture to a spiritual level. At the bottom is the Stotzinger Marien Altar , his completely preserved old work, above it many plans, including his collaboration with the Karlskirche in Vienna , his stonemason's tools , all for the greater glory of God.

Scroll: Born in Gemünden , Franconia in 1681 , married Maria Elisabetha Trumlerin here in 1706 , b. Ferrethin , becomes court stonemason of Charles VI. , Karlskirche in Vienna , Hofburg and lastly 1749-1750 Stotzinger Marienaltar. † August 22, 1755 .

At the top an angel holds out the laurel wreath for him , for an artistically rich life.

Hermitage "Maria Schnee"

From 1732 to 1745 lived next to the parish church of Kaisersteinbruch, the hermit Maria Kießlin, who looked after a chapel with a picture " Maria Schnee ". A considerable donation of 600 guilders from the wig maker Maria Magdalena Diebergerin from Vienna was set up for the maintenance of this place of worship . The interest went to the hermit. After a hard argument between this and Abbot Robert Leeb , the woman had to leave the field.

Letter from the abbot on April 2, 1746: Hermitage in a quarry. It is an old saying that when you start with women , you do not come from them with honor and without shame . I had to find out about this from the hermit .. I would have nothing to do with her, her Clausen and Capellen .. The hermit was then settled in the forest north of Eisenstadt (where the Gloriette is today). This clause is documented from 1748 to 1773.

There is evidence of a hermitage in a quarry in 1747. Father Adalbert Winkler writes in his book that “ a certain Regondi ( Johann Baptist Regondi )” had this hermitage built . The first resident was Brother Conrad Link, who was born in 1715 and professed his hermit in 1742 . In 1743 he was in the Clause zu Raab, from around 1745 to 1752 he stayed in the quarry. His successor was brother Crispin Millberger. That was the first post for him. In 1770 he received "200 Bürtl wood" according to the forest bill of the Königshof estate management . He stayed until his death on October 11, 1780 and was buried at the entrance to the sacristy on the left side of the chapel.

Grave slabs of the Kaisersteinbruch Church

Arcades with the grave slabs of the Regondi family and Martin Trumler (right)

Epitaphs were laid in the church floor from the hard, white stone. Beginning in 1620, the master stonemasons designed grave monuments in the church for themselves, their wives and children, for some pastors and a special journeyman.

  31. ↑ Before the church and the rectory were sold, Abbot Karl Braunstorfer and Father Hermann Norbert Watzl went there to take the inscriptions on the tombstones. Due to the events of the Second World War and the subsequent occupation, some gravestones and inscriptions were destroyed, but several were "found again" by the museum and cultural association Kaisersteinbruch in 1990 and attached to the church by master stonemason Friedrich Opferkuh. Some epitaphs had come into private hands.
