St. Jakob (Plattling)
The Roman Catholic St. Jakob cemetery chapel is a Romanesque, Gothic converted basilica in Plattling in the Lower Bavarian district of Deggendorf . It belongs to the parish of St. Magdalena Plattling in the Deggendorf-Plattling deanery of the diocese of Regensburg .
history
The former parish church is located southeast of the village on the right bank of the Isar, at the site of the oldest settlement, which was first mentioned in 868 as a royal estate. The church is a Romanesque pillar basilica from the second half of the 12th century with a tower facing to the west. In the late 13th century the choir was rebuilt with a north side chapel and a south sacristy . During the baroque period, alterations were made, which were removed again in 1855/1856. The building was restored between 1974 and 1981.
architecture
The central nave and the choir of the same width are covered with a common roof. The lower part of the Romanesque tower is finished with a pyramid helmet from the 19th century. The outer granite portal is provided with an oblique transom , the inner portal is simply stepped. The arched windows of the nave were restored in 1855. The two-part windows of the Gothic choir are provided with four-pass tracery. The southern portal dates from around 1500 and has a grooved granite wall with rods inserted through it.
Inside, the five-axis nave is characterized by the arcade arches, which appear squeezed in proportion due to the raised floor. The pillars with a square floor plan have profiles of throat, bulge and plate on the north side, and beveled transoms on the south side. The central nave has been closed with a wooden flat ceiling since 1855, while the side aisles still have groined vaults from the Baroque period. The stone-sighted choir arch in the full height of the central nave is provided with profiled fighters.
The Gothic choir is the same height as the Romanesque nave and is almost as long as this. The walls of the first, almost square yoke date back to the Romanesque period, the second yoke is transversely rectangular. The star vaults are supported on consoles that sit over the arched pillars. The simply grooved ribs end at plate-like keystones with pegs . In the two-bay north side chapel, the vault shows a double diamond star. The passages to the chapel were created in the 19th century. The Gothic forms of the choir and the chapel are derived from the late Gothic building school in the Landshut and Rottal regions.
The rustic, heavily restored wall and vault paintings in the choir date from the early 17th century and show ornamental grotesques and passion scenes. The limestone sacrament house dates back to 1515 and was supplemented and decorated with figures in the 19th century. It is crowned by a high pinnacle above a burst of branches .
Furnishing
The high altar was created after 1500 and, according to tradition, was bought from Tyrol. The paintings in the predella , however, show more connections to the Danube School with a Lamentation of Christ in an atmospheric forest and mountain landscape . The model for this figure composition can be found in Albrecht Dürer's Glimm'scher Lamentation in the Alte Pinakothek . In the shrine there are full figures and in the wings there are relief figures under rich sprinkling, which represent the Mother of God, Maria Magdalena and Jakobus Major as well as the Saints Nicholas and Catherine.
The neo-Gothic side altar in the chapel is furnished with re-used wing paintings from around 1520/1530, which show St. Nicholas how he rescues convicts from execution and gives golden apples to three poor virgins. This latter scene is depicted in Renaissance architecture, with virgins in fashionable period dress. On the back of the wings, Saint Sebastian and a standing Anna are depicted.
Several carved figures from around 1500 complete the furnishings, including a seated Jakobus Major from around 1520 and a choir arch crucifix from the early 16th century. A glass painting in the choir depicts St. John Evangelista. The original of this glass painting from the third quarter of the 13th century was brought to the Diocesan Museum in Regensburg. Several grave monuments from the early 15th to the middle of the 16th century are preserved in the side aisles. The three bells of the church date from 1404, 1674 and 1948.
