The Catholic parish church of St. Mariä Himmelfahrt is an originally Gothic, later Baroque-style hall church in Feichten an der Alz in the Altötting district in Upper Bavaria . It belongs to the parish association Feichten in the diocese of Passau .
History and architecture
The church was originally a pilgrimage church , the origins of which are not certain. Georg Steinbrecher began building the new three-aisled hall church in 1502 and it was consecrated in 1522. The three-and-a-half-bay hall church has a choir of two bays with three-eighths of the same width as the central nave and is provided with buttresses. The west tower dates from 1478 and was built by Jörg Waltl from Haid. In the tower ground floor there is a paradise vestibule with a vestibule portal with framework. The octagonal tower top with a slim onion dome was completed in 1763. A renovation took place in the years after 1987.
The interior was completely redesigned in Baroque style first in 1650 and then in 1763–1765 under the direction of Franz Alois Mayr from Trostberg. Little is therefore still visible of the older interior design. This includes the west gallery on five arches from 1523 with Gothic marble capitals; The upper gallery from 1650 is younger. An older painting was carried out according to a dating in the south aisle in 1520.
During the Baroque era, the barrel vaults with stitch caps and the lower transverse barrels in the side aisles were renewed, the cantilevered pillars of the nave were converted into columns with Corinthian capitals and the walls were divided by pilasters with high entablature pieces.
The rich stucco decoration from 1749 in mature rocaille shapes contributes to the standardization of the room and is partly transformed into painted decorations; a rich drapery is attached to the choir arch . The ceiling paintings were made by Franz Joseph Soll in 1763/64. In the choir they show Mary as the Queen of Heaven, surrounded by archangels, martyrs and fathers of the Old Covenant ; in the central nave, the death and assumption of Mary are depicted. In the south aisle there are scenes from the life of Mary, in the north aisle the legend of the Rosary Brotherhood .
Furnishing
The spacious high altar was created in 1713 by the Kistler Wolfgang Plumberger, the carved figures are the work of Ferdinand Oxner. It depicts the Assumption of Mary with the saints Margaretha , Katharina , Aegidius and Georg on the side, a carved Trinity group is depicted in the altar extract , flanked by the holy bishops Nikolaus and Rupert .
The side altars were created in the years 1738–1742. On the north side altar is the miraculous image , a statue of the Virgin Mary from the first quarter of the 15th century in soft style made of cast stone .
The wall altars were designed in 1785 by Kistler Joseph Dersch and the sculptor Johann Georg Kapfer. The tabernacle is a late Gothic stone carving, which is dated on the lattice to the year 1576. It was moved here from the old tower of Salzburg by Archbishop Wolf Dietrich and decorated with figures of angels in 1651. The pulpit, oratorios and stalls were made around 1700. The cross in the choir arch dates from 1635, the choir arch grille with the Toerring coat of arms from 1688.
Numerous valuable priest gravestones, some of which are provided with incised figures, were created in the 15th century. A coat of arms epitaph for Georg Steinbrecher († 1521) is attached to the sacristy east wall.
