Sammarei ( Bavarian for: Sankt Maria) is a Catholic pilgrimage site and part of the Ortenburg market near Passau in Lower Bavaria . The name Sammarei is a popular variant of Sancta Maria, which was first Germanized to Sankt Marei and then shortened to Sammarei.
location
Sammarei is located on the Wolfach about four kilometers southwest of Ortenburg and about one kilometer west of Rainding .
history
A manor with this name was documented as early as the end of the 13th century. The pilgrimage goes back to the fire of a farm in 1619 in the immediate vicinity of a small wooden chapel, where the chapel survived the fire in the courtyard unscathed. The Aldersbach monastery then undertook the reconstruction and expansion of the chapel on the condition that the monastery be granted lower jurisdiction and church protection . The present baroque church, consecrated in 1631, was built around the chapel by the builder Isaak Bader . On October 8, 1636, Elector Maximilian I granted the monastery jurisdiction and church protection at the court. In 1752 half of the farm belonged to Hofmark Reisbach near Ortenburg .
In 1690 Abbot Engelbert Fischer laid the foundation stone for the stately pilgrimage priest's house, in which four Aldersbach Cistercians worked for a time. During the secularization in Bavaria , the monastery was closed in 1803. It was not until 1862 that the pilgrimage was incorporated into the Rainding parish.
After the community was formed, Sammarei was separated from the community of Beutelsbach and became part of the community of Iglbach, which was formed in 1821 . In 1970 the new community Wolfachau came into being , which was incorporated into the Ortenburg market in 1978 as part of the regional reform in Bavaria . Ecclesiastically, Sammarei belongs to the parish Rainding.
