St. Maria am Schuppach (Schwäbisch Hall)
St. Maria am Schuppach was a church in Schwäbisch Hall .
history
The sacred building goes back to a house chapel donated in 1322 in the courtyard of the Unmuß von Altenhausen family. The Gothic hall church was built between 1464 and 1467 in place of this chapel. After it was profaned in 1802 by the city, it served as a salt store and was demolished in 1812 in order to widen Schuppachgasse.
Architecture and equipment
The building was 102 feet long, 35 feet wide and 48.5 feet high. The single-nave church was supported by a vault of buttresses , three-part tracery windows provided light. To the south of the choir was the slender tower. The octagonal spire was covered with green glazed bricks. The shapes matched those of St. Michael stylistically , and the whole thing was similar to the church in Rieden near Schwäbisch Hall. The furnishings included three altars. The sacred building had "a lot of beautiful table" (Herolt), which a Lord von Asbach called Müller († 1549) had donated. An altarpiece depicting Pentecost is now in the shrine of St. Michael . Above the lower church door there was an inscription: "Anno Domini MCCCCLXVII do the bawen dy Capel started on Monday after Oculi".
