The Roman Catholic parish church of St. Andreas , a Gothic hall church in Trostberg in the Upper Bavarian district of Traunstein , belongs to the Trostberg parish in the Baumburg deanery of the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising . It is located in the center of the city on a terrace on the steep slope above the Alz.

history

A previous building was consecrated in 1347. From a new building consecrated around 1420, the choir without the (renewed) vault rib network and the women's chapel have been preserved. The sacristy was built in 1485, the nave and gallery in 1498–1504 (according to a building inscription on the outside). In the years 1866–1869 the nave was lengthened by a yoke and equipped with a two-storey vestibule in place of the St. Ursula soul chapel, the gallery was moved and the church was regotified. Renovations took place in 1973/1974 (outside), 1976/1977 (inside) in the version from 1504.

architecture

The three-aisled, five-bay hall church with buttresses made of Nagelfluh ashlars is provided with a plastered choir closed on five sides. The sacristy is located at the apex of the choir, on the south side there is a rectangular tower with an octagonal shape in the upper part and structured with cornices. The tower end is designed as a double dome with a lantern . The women's chapel stands in the northern corner of the choir, on the south wall the west portal from around 1500, moved in 1867, in the west that of the demolished Ursula chapel from 1517. On the south outer wall is the gravestone of Gerhard Schirnegker († 1493), created by the stonemason Franz Sickinger has been.

The central nave is unusually broadly proportioned. The space is divided into yokes by slim round pillars; the eastern pair of pillars is octagonal and fluted. The ribs of the intricately formed, asymmetrical brick vaulting, which is supported on the outer wall on brackets, grow out of the pillars. Fine ornaments made of plant motifs are painted on the vaults.

In the west, the brick gallery with tracery parapets is built in over a keel arch with crab trimmings , which are supported on red marble columns. In the south-eastern nave window there is a three-part glass painting from around 1500 depicting the martyrdom of St. Andrew , which is flanked by saints and the family who founded Hans von Pienzenau, the keeper of Trostberg.

Furnishing

Altars

The altar group in the choir was put together in 1956 and consists of the former choir arch crucifix, which is flanked by carved figures of Maria and Johannes (allegedly from Ettal Abbey ); all figures are from the middle of the 18th century. On the north wall of the choir is a stone figure of a holy bishop, probably Erasmus, from the beginning of the 15th century. The side altars are designed as stone retable altars with a gilded angel figure at the end and were created in 1828 by Johann Poschner from Tegernsee. The northern one shows a figure of Mary on the globe from around 1760, which is attributed to Johann Georg Kapfer from Trostberg, the southern one an oil painting of the Holy Trinity, created in 1901 by Ludwig Glötzle . In the gallery are carved figures on console busts from around 1504, with depictions of Saint Eligius from around 1530, Antonius from the 17th century and a Vespers picture from the second half of the 18th century. The organ is a work from 1959 with two manuals and a pedal.

Bells

In the tower of the parish church of St. Andrew hang four bells in the tones h 0 -dis 1 -fis 1 -gis 1 (Salve Regina). All four bells were cast in 1949 by the Landshut bell foundry Johann Hahn.

Tombstones

There are numerous red marble tombstones on the nave walls, including three memorial stones for Hans III. Hertzhaimer, the founder of the late Gothic church: on the north side a representation of a knight in high relief with Maximilian's armor from Salzburg around 1510, as well as a knight kneeling in front of the bust of Our Lady, which was probably created by Hans Valkenauer in Salzburg after 1512. Both were attached to or in Heretsham Castle Chapel until 1866. On the south side there is a three-part epitaph with a coat of arms, inscription and a kneeling knight, which was probably created in 1497 by Franz Sickinger from Burghausen. A coat of arms tombstone of the noble von Eschelbeck family was created around 1410. Also on the south side are the gravestones for Wolfgang Zunhamer († 1626) from Solnhofer Stein, a full-figure relief for Vicar Georg Ranzhofer († 1530) and a memorial stone for Jörg Ernst († 1541) and his wife Anna († 1532), who Shows spouses in prayer in front of a Vespers picture. Next to the entrances there are two holy water basins with the dates 1500 and 1514.

Chapel and sacristy

The women's chapel was built around 1420 and is closed on three sides in the east. It was ribbed in 1689 and restored in 1991, with the neo-Gothic stencil painting from 1869 being restored. The altar was created in the second half of the 18th century. A relief panel with the birth of Christ, which probably comes from the late Gothic high altar, was made towards the end of the 15th century. The sacristy contains carved figures of Maria on the Crescent from around 1500 and Saints Catherine and Barbara, which were temporarily in the castle chapel and date from the second half of the 15th century, the latter figures were revised in the 19th century.
