The Catholic Church of St. Georg is located in the Nonner Unterland in Bad Reichenhall . It is looked after by the Catholic town church of Bad Reichenhall, which was founded in July 2012, and is dedicated to St. George consecrated. In the vernacular it is usually just called the Nonner Kircherl .
history
prehistory
Like Gmain ( Bayerisch Gmain and Großgmain ), Nonn was one of the earlier hilltop settlements above Reichenhall. At that time the Saalach still flowed in several arms through the valley basin and made the present city area largely uninhabitable. Prehistoric finds and the documented mention in the 8th century as a villa suggest that here and in Gmain those people who belonged to the salt works in Reichenhall lived. The church of St. Martin was built as a wooden structure in the 8th century at the latest and was already granted burial rights at that time.
Church patron
After the church on Kirchberg was closed , the patronage of St. George was transferred to St. Martin's church in Nonn in the 15th century .
New building
The original wooden structure was replaced in the 12th century by a Romanesque hall structure and around 1500 the nave was raised and a Gothic ribbed vault was inserted in place of the wooden flat ceiling . A Gothic choir was added to the east and a yoke to the west . Renovation followed in 1692. In 1751 the gothic star vault was removed and covered with stucco, a pulpit and a stucco balustrade of the organ loft were built in the Rococo style. The Gothic carved altar from 1513 remained unchanged. In 1781 a way of the cross was installed, which in 1867 was replaced by a "contemporary" one by Carl Rudholzner. In 1875 the choir room was regotified, wall cladding with choir stalls was installed and four lead glass windows were installed by the Zettler court painting establishment from Munich . The sacristy was enlarged and a kind of oratory was created in the parament room on the first floor . In 1887 they wanted to build a separate tower instead of the ridge and cover the church with slate . From 1896 to 1898 the nave was regotized against strong opposition from the state authorities, with re-whitewashing of the interior and removal of the blue starry sky in the choir. The stucco parapet was removed, but the rococo pulpit remained in the church. The church was last renovated in 1978.
description
Exterior
Narrow, raised and closed structure with a western roof turret and a double-stepped onion hood . A vestibule with side chapels is in front of the south entrance, followed by the vestry floor from the 19th century.
Interior
The Romanesque core building is merged with Gothic extensions. The interior is characterized by the regotization, but the original Gothic spatial conditions (nave with three bays , choir with one bay and five- eighth end) are not significantly affected. On the south side there is a re-exposed Romanesque window opening, the north wall of the nave has no windows, but the choir has four, the fifth in the central axis is walled up.
Furnishing
In front of the large cemetery gate to the west is a bronze statue of Mary and Child by Paul Sayer on a marble plinth, which was cast by Ferdinand von Miller in 1895 . On the outside of the southern extension there is a stone pulpit from the beginning of the 17th century with a wooden sound cover. The death chapel is now a war memorial for the fallen of the two world wars with a fresco by Georg Gschwendner. To the left of the south entrance is a medieval bowl stone with seven hollows.
In the interior there is a Gothic winged altar from the workshop of the master Gordian Guckh from Laufen from 1513. When closed, the altar shows Christ on the Mount of Olives , carrying the cross, crucifixion and resurrection, on the side the standing figures of St. Florian (left) and Georg (right). The closed predella bears Augustine , Ambrosius , Hieronymus and Gregory on four wings . The latter two were added in the 19th century. When open, the central shrine shows the patron saint in shining armor, on his right St. Martin, opposite St. Ulrich . On the wings painting on a gold background: Annunciation, birth of Christ, homage to the wise men and Mary's death. The open predella shows two worshiping angels on the outside and two angels with the tools of passion on the inside . In conversation Enge is the cross, including Mary, John and Mary Magdalene, lateral Holy. Bishops Zeno (left) and Augustine (right) can be seen. On the back there are five medallions in Gothic foliage: in the middle St. George on horseback in an elaborate landscape, as well as Johannes, Matthäus, Markus and Lukas.
Two choir windows show scenes from the life of Mary, on the left the encounter with Elisabeth (Visitation of the Virgin Mary) and the marriage to Joseph, on the right the flight to Egypt and the return to Nazareth.
On the north wall a panel of the joys of Mary from 1470 by the master von Liefering . Two small figures of St. Pantaleon and probably St. Vitus .
The pulpit is the last remnant of the Rococo furnishings from 1751 with stucco work made of foliage and banding with shell motifs. Opposite a cross that used to stand in the cemetery.
The Way of the Cross from 1867 was painted by Carl Rudholzner from Reichenhall based on the example of the Viennese Josef v. Responsible.
In the second yoke on the north wall, the large votive picture for the fallen from the communities of Nonn and Karlstein in the First World War by Ludwig Glötzle from Munich.
The organ from 1950 with seven registers by Julius Zwirner from Munich stands on a gallery from 1898.
