St. Georg is a Roman Catholic branch church in the Upper Swabian Mittelrieden , a district of Oberrieden . It is in the northeast of the village. As early as October 15, 1380, St. George's Church was mentioned as a branch of Pfaffenhausen . Schwigger VII. Von Mindelberg sold the church with all rights to the Augustinian monastery in Mindelheim . In 1527 and 1531 the church was mentioned as Sant Jörgen Kapell . Carpenter Jakob Hayfelder from Westernach made new stalls in 1630. The parish received the permission to paint the wooden ceiling on February 25, 1682. Johann Caspar Zimmermann received 25 guilders for the order. The building was rebuilt and equipped around 1700. In 1964 a renovation took place.
Building description
The choir is drawn in and has two bays with a three-sided end and groin vaults . At the end of the choir there are three stab caps instead of the vault . The shield arches are stilted. The wall outline form baseless pilasters with cornice - capitals . They are kinked in the corners and only half-shaped in the west. In the north there is a retracted round arched window in both yokes, in the south only in the eastern yoke. In the west yoke is the entrance to the sacristy to the south . A round arch niche is located in the apex of the choir. The choir arch is only slightly receding with carnies on the fighter and has a rounded arch. The nave is designed as a hall with two broad axes with retracted, arched windows. The wall structure is formed by Tuscan pilasters, which are single at the ends of the longitudinal walls and double in the middle. Above the pilasters there is an architrave and a frieze , which are cranked. Only the richly profiled cornice is led around on the east and west walls. On the west wall this is cranked around the two pillars supporting the tower with bases. These flank the rectangular door. The parapet of the gallery on the west side has seven almost square fields with paintings.
On the outside, the nave is divided by pairs of slender, baseless Tuscan pilasters with pieces of entablature. At the corners, these meet with the individual pilasters on the west and east walls. At the west end of the choir walls there are pilaster strips . The surrounding, strongly profiled cornice is also on the sole and on the slopes of the west gable. In front of the center of the western front are two templates of Tuscan capitals that interrupt the gable cornice. In the gable field these are limited by a round arch cover. The tower rests on strong beams in front of the top of the gable. It has a square basement with rectangular panels and a cornice cornice. The octagonal upper part of the tower has narrower diagonal sides and broad, bent, Tuscan corner pilasters and arched windows on the main sides. The entablature is cranked with transverse oval openings in the frieze. The onion hood is covered with tin. To the south of the choir is the sacristy with a carnies cornice and a quarter-hipped roof .
