St. Clemens (Eschenlohe)
The Roman Catholic parish church of St. Clemens is located in Eschenlohe in Upper Bavaria in the Garmisch-Partenkirchen district . It belongs to the parish Eschenlohe to parish community Murnau and deanery Benediktbeuern .
history
The late Baroque church was built from 1764 to 1782 according to plans by Johann Michael Fischer and Franz Anton Kirchgrabner on the foundations of the previous Gothic building. The order for this was given by the pastor Ignaz Kaltenhauser and the Ettal abbot Bernhard II von Eschenbach. For reasons of space it was not geosted , but is oriented to the north.
In the 1970s, the organ loft was lowered to allow more light into the interior through the window behind. The dismantling of this measure was part of the extensive renovation and maintenance measures from 1994 to 2009, which cost around 3.3 million euros.
Furnishing
The fresco in the choir is by Johann Jakob Zeiller . It shows the church patron Pope Clement I , who, along with many Christians on the Crimean peninsula , condemned to quarrying, begs the heavens for water.
The Rococo high altar, attributed to the sculptor Johann Baptist Straub , is dominated by a painting by Johann Baptist Schmons depicting the martyrdom of St. Clemens shows. The artist chose the city of Hamburg as the background , which was due to a generous donation from Eschenlohe merchant Johann Anton Eurl, who became prosperous in the Hanseatic city.
The ceiling painting in the nave was created by the Augsburg painter Ignaz Paur. In the middle it shows the transfiguration of the church patron. On a ring underneath there are five examples of martyrdoms and the seven notaries of Clement. The Pope used the latter for the districts of Rome in order to record the martyrdoms of persecuted Christians as witnesses.
A side altar is located in niches in the sloping northern corners of the nave.
Under the gallery there is a figure of St. John Nepomuk , patron u. a. the raftsman , which was donated by the Eschenloh rafters.
organ
The organ was built in 1906 by Franz Borgias Maerz from Munich . In 1930 a swell mechanism housing and a new gaming table were installed. Another renovation took place in 1973 in which high- pitched voices and an electric game action were added and the original wind power supply removed. The company Freiburger Orgelbau Hartwig and Tilmann Späth repaired the organ in 2006.
