Parish Church of St. Margareth in Schabs

Schabs essentially consists of three districts: Schabs Dorf, Raut and Förche.

history

The origin of the old name Scouves (in the year 827) is still unclear. It could mean grape comb (stem of the grape) and mark the northern border of the Tyrolean wine-growing region. In earlier times, the place was not used in Schabs , but on , on or from the Schabs . Schabs formed a Malgrei of the Rodenegg court. The Malgrei (village) shop steward opposite the court was called a lawyer . From the Malgrei, the political community of Schabs was formed in the 19th century, which in 1928 under fascism was merged with Naz, Raas and Viums to form the community of Naz-Schabs.

On July 26, 1897, there was a devastating fire in the village. After a lightning strike near the Kellerhof, the fire spread extremely quickly to the closely-packed, neighboring houses. Only a few houses and the church were spared, 99 villagers, including 65 children, were made homeless. As a reaction to the fire disaster, the village street was widened, the houses were no longer built so close to each other and in 1899 the volunteer fire department of Schabs was founded.

Parish Church of St. Margareth

Today's parish church in Schabs is built in the late Gothic style; it was consecrated around 1281, but the church was not mentioned in a document until 1330. The present building was completed as a chapel in 1454 by the Brixen construction works and consecrated in 1455 as Schabs sub liminibus parochialis ecclesie de Netz by Cardinal Nikolaus Cusanus , Bishop of Brixen . The interior of the church was redesigned in Baroque style at the end of the 18th century and expanded in 2003 due to lack of space. The ceiling paintings in the church show the martyrdom of St. Margaretha and St. Katharina von Johann Mitterwurzer around 1787; in the side chapel the life of the Virgin Mary (district Aegid Schor 1687). The square portal with the three marble cartridges, the round picture in the side chapel and the unusually high and slender church tower (72 m) are worth seeing.
