The Roman Catholic pilgrimage church of St. Anna is a late Gothic hall church in the district of St. Anna von Ering in the Lower Bavarian district of Rottal-Inn . It belongs to the Ering Parish Association in the Simbach dean's office in the Passau diocese .
history
The church in Ering was “started all over again” in 1520, as can be seen from an inscription on the buttress to the right of the south portal. Inside, on the west side of the choir arch, the year 1521 is painted. Older building materials were reused in the new building. More precise information is not known about the early days of the pilgrimage, which presumably began in the 13th century. The new building at the beginning of the 16th century is probably related to the increase in the veneration of St. Anne at the end of the Middle Ages and to the care by the Asbach monastery since 1439.
architecture
The medium-sized church is visible from afar on a rising forest belt above the Inn valley and is only surrounded by a farm and the former rectory. In contrast to the completely unadorned north side, the supporting pillars of which date from 1758, the south front is designed as a show side. With the avenue that runs from the northern exit of Ering to here, a connection between the pilgrimage church and the Ering parish church has been preserved.
Exterior
Instead of a west tower, the church has a roof turret over the west gable, which rests on a slim substructure divided by cornices and thus gives the impression of a graceful tower. The buttresses on the choir and on the south side of the nave have angular center pieces. A profiled base and a sill cornice, which is cranked up above the south portal, surround the church. The windows are mostly three-lane and have rich tracery . The portal is profiled with inserted round bars.
The family cemetery of the owners of Ering Castle is located along the southern, northern and eastern outer walls of the choir of the pilgrimage church, delimited by wrought iron bars . Most of the owners of the castle from the 19th and 20th centuries are buried here. Grave monuments remember the noble families Paumgarten , Lerchenfeld , Aham , Podewils , Sedlnitzky von Choltitz and Esterházy de Galántha .
Interior
The uniform, clear space is designed in the artistic forms of the latest Gothic. This phase is characterized by the pronounced proportions of width. The three-bay nave is followed by an equally high, only slightly drawn-in choir with two bays and a three-eighth end . The richly figured ribbed vaults rest over strongly profiled shield arches on semicircular, presented services . The top diamonds of the vault are enriched by curved ribs in the manner of those in the parish church of Kirchdorf am Inn . On the vault of the ship, the off-center placement of a circular pass in the apex is striking. In the choir, the lateral intersections and in the nave the vertex intersections of the ribs are provided with stuck-in and cut-off pieces of rib. The rib beginners are designed in an original way with loops, bars and hooks of the profiles. Similar forms can be found in the outer chapel in Burghausen Castle and in the Nonnberg Monastery in Salzburg. This execution of the details indicates the virtuoso skills of the late Gothic master builder. In the literature, Franz Dambeck disparagingly judged the building as "a very remarkable work on the outside, but a powerless ornament on the inside".
The colored room version was restored in 1964 and greatly expanded. It highlights the virtuoso design of the interior and consists of a structure in light yellow ashlar with differently colored marbled services and intersections of the ribs. Scattered over the vault are numerous floral depictions of herbs. At the end of the choir, the figures of St. Anne and the Mother of God can be found, which, through the depictions of plants, appear as if they were in a hortus conclusus .
The high altar dates from 1682–1684 and was possibly created by Johann Christoph Bendl from Pfarrkirchen. The side altars are older, the year 1636 is given on the predella of the southern altar. A baroque frame in the style of tortoiseshell was exposed in parts. Three glass paintings from 1523 shortly after it was built have been preserved. A harmonium is available for church music .
