The Catholic parish church of St. Mary of the Assumption is a late Gothic church in Anger in the Berchtesgadener Land district in Upper Bavaria . It belongs to the parish network of Anger-Aufham-Piding in the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising and can be seen from afar with its slender church tower.
History and architecture
The church, built from regular Nagelfluh blocks and consecrated in 1447, with a retracted choir closed on three sides, stands at the southern end of the spacious Angers of the town of the same name and is raised again. As a result of this, as well as the west tower, which was raised in 1739 and closed with a double onion dome, as well as the steep roof, the church has a long-distance effect in the landscape that is otherwise only found in pilgrimage churches.
The church itself is no less interesting. Together with the church in Burgkirchen am Wald , the church in Eggelsberg and the Braunauer Spitalkirche, it is part of a group of Gothic churches with originally three pillars in the nave, arranged on an equilateral triangle, i.e. a hybrid form between hall and hall church, the one in southern Germany and Bohemian space occurs. In Anger, however, a centralizing room was created through the installation of baroque galleries and the removal of the central pillar in 1717. The vault in the nave is based on a hexagonal rib pattern, over the galleries it merges into a star vault. Ribs drawn far down on flat pillars with half octagonal services characterize the nave. The net vault in the choir rests on circular services, shows a tracery-like ornamentation in the crown of the vault and is related to the vault of the Church of St. Zeno in Bad Reichenhall. The southern entrance hall has a coffered oak door with Gothic iron fittings similar to that of the church in Saaldorf .
Furnishing
The tabernacle of the high altar is decorated with rococo figures , above it is a large-format rosary Madonna from around 1680 by Johann Schwaiger. To the north in the choir is a figure of the founder Ellanpurg from the 19th century.
Rococo paintings from the former collegiate church in Höglwörth are placed above the side altars . They depict the death of the Prince of the Apostles and were created by Franz Nikolaus Streicher around 1770.
A Vespers image from around 1550 has been preserved on the north side altar . The busts of bishops on the side altars and the carved figure of the Good Shepherd on the south wall date from around 1660/70. The stucco and the fixtures of the sacristy are from the 17th century.
The organ is a work by Ludwig Eisenbarth from 1984 with 18 stops on two manuals and pedal .
