St. Georg (Stubenberg)
The Stubenberg parish church , consecrated to Saints Georg and Urban , is located in the Lower Bavarian community of Stubenberg .
history
The church was built, as was the patronage of the knight patron St. Georg is documented as the castle church of Stubenberg Castle . The nobles von Stubenberg built a church with their castle in the 13th century. Around 1270 a Wulfingus de Stubenberg is mentioned in the oldest church document of Stubenberg. After the Stubenbergs died out, the castle and church came to the Closen around 1500 , to the Paumgartner in 1513 and to the Höhenkirchner in 1569, a branch of the Baumgartner family. The last noble owners were the Lerchenfeld zu Aham .
In 1442 a pilgrimage to the image of Mary in the Stubenberg church is mentioned in a document. The pilgrimage to Stubenberg has become fashionable again in recent years. The occasion was the 550th anniversary of this pilgrimage in 1992.
During the War of the Austrian Succession , the castle was set on fire on May 9, 1743 and the Gothic church was also badly damaged. During the reconstruction, the church was extended on the north side by a two-bay aisle; today this forms the so-called women's chapel . In 1722 a large stream of pilgrims had started to Stubenberg, which made it necessary to expand the church. Pastor Antonius Käser (1739–1785) lists 96 wonderful incidents in his miraculous book, Directory of the good things demonstrated by the miraculous portrait of Mary , which are said to have formed the beginning of the pilgrimage. Including this: “In 1716 the Churbaier fusilier Weeger came to the church of Stubenberg to steal the ornaments left as votive offerings from the Virgin Mary. When he reached out for it, Maria took him by the hand and did not let go of him until he was arrested. She told him she would spare his life this time, but prophesied that in six years he would be executed because he could not stop the robbery. “This prediction is said to have actually occurred on May 6, 1722, because at that time he was executed on the gallows in Eggenfelden.
In 1812 Stubenberg and the neighboring parishes were separated from the Diocese of Passau and incorporated into the Archdiocese of Salzburg . This was reversed on July 14, 1816. Today Stubenberg belongs to the dean's office Simbach am Inn of the diocese of Passau .
architecture
The originally Gothic church was redesigned after the fire of 1743. It received a barrel vault that was painted with frescoes by Carl Johann Gasteiger. The former wall pillars were sheathed and transformed into pilasters with curly profiles. The three-bay nave is of a barrel vault with lunettes , the zweijochigen choir from a shell vault spans. The west gallery on square pillars with a ribbed vault comes from the Gothic church building. The church consists of plastered stone masonry ( Nagelfluh ). The three-storey, square church tower has a two-storey, octagonal structure with a pointed helmet . It is made of bricks. The church was renovated between 1973 and 1978 and re-consecrated on November 29, 1978 by Bishop Antonius Hofmann .
Furnishing
The frescoes in the choir and nave are by Carl Johann Gasteiger in 1773. In the choir, the twelve apostles are represented around a set table in a palatial building as well as the Last Supper . A second picture depicts the martyrdom of St. Viktor - ( Viktor von Xanten or Pope Viktor I. ). The frescoes of the nave represent the picture of St. George and St. Margarethe in heaven, the twelve apostles in the stabbing caps and the four church fathers in the vaults .
The baroque high altar is framed by two free-standing columns turned at the bottom. Four pilasters placed across corners support the entablature on capitals, over which a golden crown hovers. The altar was probably created by Martin Haller, a student of Joseph Deutschmann . The figure of Saint George is on the high altar. The high altar was painted by the Tyrolean Father Ignaz Keill, a pupil of Johann Jakob Zeiller . The altar was only erected here in 1978; he comes from the Portenkirche St. Margaretha in Fürstenzell .
The two side altars and the pulpit are from the Rococo period around 1773. The left altarpiece shows Anna Selbdritt , the right one St. Sebastian and extract the hl. Florian . Above the portal is a late Gothic Madonna holding her child with both hands (made around 1510 to 1520).
In and on the church there are sixteen tombstones, which come from the patrons and founders of the church. E.g. Peter Paumgartner, Chancellor of Landshut, Joseph Reichsgraf von Baumgarten, Carl Sebastian Adam Thaddäus Aloisius Reichsgraf von Baumgarten or Hans von Closen.
In the women's chapel, the miraculous image, a statue of Mary with a child, is placed on the front wall. In front of it is an octagonal baptismal font made of spotted marble from the time the church was built. In the ceiling paintings, the miraculous image is carried into heaven by angels. In the second vaulted dome the fifteen movements of the joyful, painful and glorious rosary are represented. In the midst of the mysteries of the Rosary, Mary is crowned by the Trinity of God.
On the chancel arch of the church the coats of arms of the nobility are painted and adorned with stuccoed crowns, in the center the large coat of arms of Count Max von Paumgarten von Frauenstein , which is supported by two griffins carrying beach species.
