The Roman Catholic parish church of St. Johann Baptist (also: St. John the Baptist ) is a Gothic hall church in Tyrlaching in the Upper Bavarian district of Altötting . It belongs to the parish of St. Vitus (Kirchweidach) in the Altötting deanery of the Passau diocese .
history
A first church on site from the 10th century is said to have been destroyed during the Hungarian invasions . This first church is said to have stood by a lake that was used for baptism, which is where the name Kirchbründlweg comes from. Tyrlaching is mentioned as a church in 1449 in a certificate of indulgence; the church at that time was a branch church of the parish Feichten . In 1640 Oberbuch was subordinated to the parish vicarie Tyrlaching. In 1738 Pastor Mangold arranged for a renovation, with the church being repainted and given new pews and a marble floor. The Scapular Brotherhood was introduced in 1798 , but was not properly organized until 1804. It was not until 1834 that the church received an organ. In 1891 a new sacristy was built in place of the older one in the tower. In 1894 Tyrlaching was raised to a parish. The last extensive restoration of the interior took place in 1979–1981. In 1983 the church received a fourth bell again, which had been missing since the Second World War. For the centenary of the parish in 1994, an exterior renovation was carried out.
architecture
The simple late Gothic building without buttresses was built from Nagelfluh around 1450 , the builder is not known. The tower is 48 m high; it wore gothic lace and was originally covered with wooden shingles. In 1959 it was covered with copper sheet. The windows were given their neo-Gothic shape in 1880. The interior is characterized by a late Gothic reticulated vault and has retained its uniform neo-Gothic furnishings. It was created in the years 1890–1894 and was restored between 1979–1980 by the Schlee company from Altötting. The designs for the furnishings were developed by the Neuöttingen pastor Alois Schott. The painting of the ribs and the gusset of the vault was added in 1979 after the remains of the Gothic painting were uncovered.
Furnishing
The altar retables were made from solid oak by the carpenter Franz Baumgartner from Halsbach. The 7 m high high altar shows the baptism of Jesus. The figures were carved by Emanuel Basler the Elder from Simbach and painted by the painter Franz Zattler from Wurmannsquick . The figures in the side shrines were created by Leo Wöhrl from Würzburg. On the left they represent St. Anna , on the right St. Joseph and St. Florian in the air . The confessionals are also by Franz Baumgartner. The doors and the central window of the confessionals were not added until 1980.
The side altars were also made in 1893 by the carpenter Baumgartner according to plans by Alois Schott. The figures also come from Wöhrl and were taken by Zattler. The left side altar is the altar of the Scapular Brotherhood and shows Mary with the Scapular and St. Sebastian in the air. On the right side altar, St. Leonhard is depicted in the shrine and St. George in a burst. The pulpit was also designed by Alois Schott. Seven relief images show Jesus as a Good Shepherd, as a teacher, Moses with the ten commandments, Jesus as a sower and as a fisherman and the saints Boniface and Rupert.
All 14 stations of the cross were created around 1880 and originally had larger frames than today. The impressive cross from the choir arch is placed above the door to the sacristy. Below are two paintings on the Scapular Brotherhood, which were probably acquired for the centenary in 1898. One painting shows the presentation of the bull by Pope Pius VI. to a priest and three citizens, above the crowned Mother of God with the baby Jesus and the scapular in her right hand. The second painting shows Our Lady with Child on clouds above the town of Tyrlaching, who hands over the scapular to Saint Simon Stock .
The gallery parapets of the two-story west gallery with finely crafted tracery ornaments were created in 1892. The door of the main portal still shows Gothic iron fittings.
