history

At the site of today's church there was once a hermitage , which was inhabited by the blessed Heinrich vom Starnberger See in the 12th or 13th century. At the beginning of the 14th century, a stone church was built - probably instead of an older wooden chapel - which was consecrated in 1324 . On May 12, 1480 , Duke Albrecht IV the Wise donated a daily mass, since at this time the pilgrimage to the miraculous image of the painful Mother of God flourished. This fair read the Beuerberg Augustinian Canons , who also implemented maintenance and renovation measures. In 1626, the nave was expanded and a stone tumba was built for the grave of Blessed Heinrich, the cover plate of which is now under the gallery on the wall. During these reconstructions, the late Gothic ribbed vault was probably replaced by a stitch cap vault and the church interior was reorganized with Tuscan double pilasters .

Until secularization the church belonged to the parish of St. Vitus Iffeldorf , then in the course of the reorganization of the parishes due to the shorter distance, it was assigned to the parish of Seeshaupt in a letter of 23 September 1805 , to which it still belongs today. Iffeldorf received the Nantesbucher Höfe from the parish Benediktbeuern .

At the end of the 17th century the high and side altars were renewed. In 1773 a new sacristy was built with an oratory above . Around 1780 the choir was stuccoed in Rococo - Rocailles, presumably by Franz Edmund Doli from Wessobrunn .

On July 27, 1902, the nave and tower burned down after a lightning strike , the choir and many furnishings were largely spared. The destroyed parts were reconstructed from 1903 to 1905 by Michael Kurz from Augsburg-Göggingen with small deviations. B. the stitch caps are now rounded. The new stucco in the nave comes from Josef Schuler, the one on the gallery and the Bavarian royal coat of arms on the triumphal arch from Josef Brandl's workshop. The coat of arms reminds of the care of the royal family for this church. While the high altar could be preserved, two new ones were bought from the Franciscan church in Mühldorf am Inn to replace the destroyed side altars .

The church tower will be repaired in 2018.

Description and equipment

The east-facing hall church is built in the baroque style. On onion dome in the West is a sundial attached.

The pulpit from the beginning of the 18th century comes from the parish church of St. Michael in Giebing and was acquired in 1904. Below the gallery is the tomb of Blessed Heinrich with a rough depiction of the hermit as a relief . In the choir room you can see the remains of late Gothic frescoes of the Blessed, on the one hand standing, on the other hand at the moment of his death.

As a side picture on the north wall of the choir room is a painting that shows how Duke Albrecht IV donated the mass for the pilgrims in 1480.

Altars

In the center of the high altar is the miraculous image of Mater Dolorosa with the body of Jesus on her lap. It has probably been revised several times and originally dates from the 15th century. In this portrait, the other parts of the altar refer to: In the altar extract is a plastic of the Cross of Jesus, which is surrounded by angels that the Arma Christi carry lance and vinegar-soaked sponge and continue your call as the ordeal in memory. Next to the miraculous image are portraits of the presumed half-sisters of the mother of Jesus, Salome and Maria Cleophae , who hold vessels for embalming the body of Jesus. The tabernacle is located below the image of grace .

The side altars date from the end of the 17th century, but Franz Xaver Glink did not paint the pictures until 1850 in the Nazarene style . The left contains a picture of St. Anne with her daughter Maria , as well as an excerpt from another portrait of Mary . Baroque sculptures of Saint Barbara of Nicomedia (left) and Catherine of Alexandria stand on consoles attached to the side . The right side altar acts as a counterpart to this altar with female saints, on the altarpiece of which Saint Anthony is shown carrying the baby Jesus. The painting in the excerpt shows the baby Jesus in the arm of St. Joseph of Nazareth . The figures of saints on the consoles probably show St. Paul (left) and St. Francis of Assisi , which is due to the origin of the altar from a Franciscan monastery church. The extracts from both side altars are adorned with putti .
