St. Martin (Pietling)
St. Martin in the Fridolfinger district of Pietling is a branch church of the Roman Catholic Fridolfinger parish church of the Assumption of Mary .
history
At the end of the 8th century, in 792 or 793, Pietling is first documented in a list of donations to the church in Salzburg - the Breves Notitiae . The St. Martins - patron saint of the church indicates a foundation in the 8th century. Remains of a Romanesque predecessor of the Pietlinger church could be found under the floor of the current building; it is mentioned in a letter of indulgence dated June 13, 1422.
The completion of today's late Gothic Pietlinger building falls in 1497, when Johannes Veichtner was pastor in Fridolfing for thirteen years; an inscription on the inside of the choir arch provides information about this . This was a period of increased church building that lasted until the first quarter of the 15th century, which was also reflected in numerous new buildings in the archbishopric of Salzburg under Archbishop Leonhard von Keutschach - this is where the parish of Fridolfing belonged. The financial basis was mostly private foundations, but also local government debt. As in other places back then, a very spacious building was built in Pietling for the size of the place.
Renovations of the church were completed in 1619, 1878, 1922 and 1992, as evidenced by inscriptions on the choir arch. After the top floor of the tower had been built, the baroque onion dome was put on in 1738, with some windows in the tower bricked up and new ones broken out.
During the renovations in 1878, the church was restored to a condition that is based on the time it was built. In place of rectangular windows dating back to the Baroque period, pointed arched windows with tracery were used again ; the windows on the north side were broken out for the first time.
Location, building and interior of the church
The church of St. Martin is located on a hill at the western end of Pietling. The late Gothic building is made of tuff stone blocks and the outside is unplastered. On the west side the five-story tower stands on a square floor plan; it is crowned by a triple, clapboard-covered onion cap. Below the top - baroque - tower storey, a late Gothic frieze indicates the original masonry tower height.
On the southern wall of the church there are three porches with a pent roof : between the portal vestibule with the Nagelfluh portal in the shape of a donkey's back and the two-story sacristy stands the flat structure of the former poor soul chapel.
The nave of the church has a single nave, the vault has four bays with net ribs in an unusual shape - similar to the Assumption of Mary in Asten . The choir, which is only slightly retracted, adjoins it in the east, vaulted with two bays. In the west, a gallery rests on two round columns and three-quarter columns on the walls, which support two vaulted yokes. A second mezzanine floor was added later.
The restored and recreated late Gothic painting inside the church accentuates the architectural elements and gives the church interior a very colorful character: the pillars are marbled red, the net ribs are yellowish, the points of intersection are set off with reddish cuffs, and in the choir are also emphasized with yellow and green rosettes . The capitals are also reddish and finished in blue. The stitch caps over the windows are decorated with green tendrils .
Furnishing
Nothing has been preserved or handed down from the original, late Gothic furnishings. The current furnishings of the church essentially come from the last quarter of the 19th century and are in the neo-Gothic style. It is the last in a series of consecutive outfits. The sheet of the earlier high altar has been preserved from the Baroque period, it shows Saint Martin on horseback.
High altar
The high altar was made between 1883 and 1885; the central sculpture of the altar shows St. Martin in the bishop's robe flanked by depictions of St. Sebastian and St. Barbara . Saint Aloysius , John the Baptist as well as Catherine and St. Apollonia can be seen above. In the altar extract, Jesus Christ is depicted as the judge of the world, next to St. George and the Archangel Michael .
Left side altar
The left side altar from 1881 shows St. Erasmus in the middle , next to St. Leonhard and St. Wendelin , in the altar extract Maria Immaculata .
Right side altar
The altar was made in 1882. In the middle stands Mary with the child, next to her parents Joachim and Anna , in the excerpt St. Joseph .
Further equipment
A remarkable piece of equipment is also a small altar from the 18th century, built as a kind of backdrop architecture . This altar stood in the chapel of the poor souls and previously served as a framework for the exhibition of the Holy Sepulcher and the Christmas crib . The valuable baroque nativity scene can be viewed every year between Christmas Eve and Candlemas .
