The listed parish church of St. Martin is a Catholic parish church in Illertissen in Upper Swabia . It belongs to the diocese of Augsburg . Their patron saint is on November 11th, St. Martin's Day .

history

Due to the choice of St. Martin of Tours as church patron, it can be assumed that a previous church was built around 750 to 800. Only the substructure of the tower remains from this medieval church. Around 1220, the possessions of the Benedictine Abbey of Einsiedeln can be found in Illertissen , which was a ruled imperial abbey from the 13th century to 1803 . In 1547 Erhard Vöhlin donated the northern side chapel. In 1590 the church was replaced by a presumably larger new building. The tower was raised by the octagon . In 1768 the church underwent a major interior renovation, the altars were painted in gold and white. The sacristy was added to the south side of the choir in 1788 and demolished in 1958. During another renovation in 1830, the west gable collapsed. The galleries and parts of the nave were destroyed. During the renovation, the lower mirrored ceiling and the two-story gallery were installed. In the northern chapel, the crypt chapel of Vöhlins broke in 1883 from a fire, parts of the late Gothic partly epitaphs were damaged. The pulpit , which was near the chapel, also burned down. 1958 to 1960 two choir extensions were added in the south and north according to plans by Thomas Wechs .

Bells

The original bells were melted down during World War I and World War II. Only the Hosanna bell from 1524 survived the wars. On October 2, 1949, four new bells were consecrated and hung in the bell tower. The largest bell is the Christ the King bell with a weight of 1180 kilograms. The Marienglocke weighs 825 kilograms, the Josefsglocke 490 kilograms. With a weight of 340 kilograms, the poor soul bell is the smallest of the five bells.

Carillon

In the church tower of St. Martin, one floor below the ringing bells, there has been a carillon donated by the Josef Kränzle family and manufactured by the Eijsbouts bell foundry in the Netherlands since 2006 . The carillon consists of 49 bells, the largest bell sounds on tone c 2 and weighs about 270 kilograms, the smallest with tone d 6 only 5 kilograms. The carillon has a total weight of approx. 1.5 tons. The carillon is played on a stick game table, which is in turn located one floor below. Every day at 10 a.m., 4 p.m. and 8 p.m., melodies are played that are played using electromagnetic hammers.
