description
The Gothic chapel, consecrated to St. George , was built around 1400 as a rectangular hall building with an open bell cage above the east gable. The white plastered brick building is illuminated through five small window openings. Access is via a stepped, ogival portal on the north side.
The interior is spanned by a simple beamed ceiling, the Gothic diamond ornaments of which may have been painted on or renewed in the 19th century. The fresco cycle with depictions of the Passion of Christ comes from the construction period . Next to the entrance there is a larger than life representation of Christophorus . Above a painted drapery you can see, among other things, the capture, crucifixion and resurrection of the Savior Jesus Christ . On the front wall, St. George is fighting the dragon. The paintings were restored in 1992/93.
The old block altar has stood in front of the east wall again since 1970. The baroque high altar on the south wall is marked on the back with the year 1686. Two twisted columns frame the altarpiece with St. George. To the side there are groups of figures of St. Mary between Joachim and Anna and Jesus between Mary and Joseph .
The renovation of the chapel and the restoration of the wall paintings were supervised by the Association for the Preservation of the Chapel of St. Georg Roggenstein , founded in 1969 . The association makes the chapel accessible on a regular basis. There are also concerts in the chapel.
