Parish church St. Margaretha in Ebertshausen

The Roman Catholic parish church of St. Margaretha is the village church of Ebertshausen , a district of Üchtelhausen in the Lower Franconian district of Schweinfurt . The church is one of the architectural monuments of Üchtelhausen and is registered under the number D-6-78-186-9 in the Bavarian list of monuments . Like Üchtelhausen, Hesselbach , Hoppachshof and Reichmannshausen, Ebertshausen is part of the Schweinfurt Rhön parish community .

history

The church was renovated in the post-Gothic style in 1614. The year 1521 is noted on a stone with a hen on the church tower , especially in the lower area it is probably even older.

Ebertshausen belonged to the Maßbach parish until the 16th century . Around 1580 the village became temporarily Protestant and in 1587 under Prince-Bishop Julius Echter von Mespelbrunn again a Catholic and independent parish.

A Benedictine monastery in "Enbertshausen" (Ebertshausen) must have been wealthy in the past, because in 1310 Ebertshausen sold it to the Teutonic Order House in Münnerstadt .

Description and equipment

The church consists of the flat-roofed nave and the eastern Julius Echter tower . In the basement of the church tower is the choir with groin vault . The church has ogival windows. The high altar in the Rococo style with a depiction of the church patroness St. Margaretha in the altar leaf dates from 1750. In 1796 the side altars with figures of the Mother of God (left) and St. Joseph (right) were created by the Hofheim artist Karl Albrecht. The font on a twisted column decorated with garlands was created around 1700.
