history
- History of the parish
A chapel in Haselbach was built between 1163 and 1169 at the instigation of Margrave Ottokar III. von Steyr († December 31, 1164) and his wife Gisela von Haselbach handed over to the Benedictine monastery of Garsten Abbey as their own church. The patroness of the chapel was Maria Magdalena . From around 1235 the small church was looked after by the mother parish of Tafersheim (Steyregg). On August 21, 1383 Haselbach is attested for the first time as a parish. The name "Haselpekher Pfarre" appears repeatedly in documents from the 15th century until the Haselbacher Pfarre lost its independence in the 16th century. In 1550 the fiefdom and bailiwick went to the Steyregg lordship , which in 1581 came into the possession of Jörger. From 1595 to 1621 the church was occupied by Protestant pastors. Thereafter, pastoral care went to the Roman Catholic Church of Reichenau in the Mühlkreis as a subsidiary church . The church patroness had meanwhile displaced the place name Haselbach and since the 17th century the place has been commonly called St. Magdalena. In the 18th century St. Magdalena was a branch church of Linz. From 1784 until the abbey was dissolved on May 1, 1787, the church was again the vicar church of Garsten Abbey. On June 1, 1858, St. Magdalena again became an independent parish.
- History of the parish church
The 13th to 14th centuries are assumed for the lower part of the masonry of the church tower. The upper part of the tower was built in the 15th and 16th centuries.
The originally Romanesque , then late Gothic nave walls were built at the end of the 15th century and a formerly higher nave with a flat ceiling was newly vaulted. In 1768 the church was redesigned by the Linz builder Franz Xaver Krinner (1736–1798). From 1913 to 1914, the side aisles were added according to the plans of the master builder Matthäus Schlager and a staircase was built in the corner of the tower for the west gallery.
From 1981 to 1982 renovations were carried out with the architect Anton Zemann . The northern choir annex was expanded and a spiral staircase was added. The southern choir annex was also extended, the sacristy was enlarged and the gallery above was enlarged and provided with a larger arcade to the church interior.
Church building
The originally single-nave medieval building with a ribbed vault in the nave was expanded in the neo-Gothic style with cross -vaulted side aisles to form a three-aisled nave church. The late-Gothic single-bay choir in the width of the nave has a parallel rib vault with a rib star at the five-eighth end . The gallery expansion of the choir by Matthäus Schlager and Anton Zemann created a transept effect . The church tower was asymmetrically attached to the mighty west facade as early as the Middle Ages and has small gables and an onion roof. The church is under a single massive in the East hipped roof and has, due to the additions of galleries and stairs a non-uniform external front.
Furnishing
Wall paintings by the painter Andreas Strickner from 1924 in the choir and on the west gallery were whitewashed in 1960. Figurative glass window Noli me tangere , Christ with Simeon and the baptism of Christ painted by Margret Bilger in 1960 . The remarkable acanthus frame altar was probably created by Marian Rittinger in 1693, at the same time Johann Karl von Reslfeld painted the altarpiece Descent from the Cross or Lamentation of Christ . The people's altar was created in 1960 from parts of the former tabernacle of the high altar from 1693. The pulpit was created in 1693 by the sculptor Ignaz Kurz. There is a figure of mother with child from 1480 on a console from 1960, a crucifix from the 1st half of the 18th century, the figure of St. Joseph from 1960, the figure of St. Mary Magdalene from the 18th century. Two baroque angels from the high altar are by Marian Rittinger. The late Gothic baptismal font is from the 1st half of the 15th century, the neo-Gothic holy water font from the beginning of the 20th century.
The two-manual organ with 17 registers was built by the Upper Austrian Organ Builders in 1985 . The organ case was based on a design by the architect Anton Zemann .
There is a bell by Johann Hollederer from 1836 with the reliefs of Mary with Child , Crucifixion and decoration.
