St. Martin (Deubach)
The Catholic parish church of St. Martin in Deubach , a district of Ichenhausen in the district of Günzburg in the Bavarian administrative district of Swabia , was built in 1739/40 by the master builder Johann Martin Kraemer on the site of two previous buildings. The frescoes were made by Johann Georg Wolcker (1700–1766) from Burgau .
architecture
In the northern corner of the choir rises the square tower, the octagonal structure of which is crowned by an onion dome with glazed bricks . The inner and outer walls are structured by Tuscan pilasters . The single-nave nave is covered with a flat barrel with stitch caps and closes in the west with a double gallery with curved parapets. The retracted choir opens into a semicircular closed apse and is spanned by a flat, frescoed dome.
Piece
The entire interior is covered with a stucco decoration made of shellwork cartouches , flowers and leaf tendrils and frames the fresco fields. It is attributed to the master builder Johann Martin Kraemer. On the pilasters and on the lower balustrade there are semi- reliefs in white with the depiction of the apostles . They are surrounded by gilded frames with green foliage.
Frescoes
On the large nave fresco, the four continents pay homage to the Queen of Heaven, Mary. Africa is represented as a Moor with a parasol, Europe as a female figure, in front of which the imperial crown and tiara lie next to each other . A red-skinned Indian personifies America and a figure with a turban and crescent personizes Asia. All four people hold burning hearts in their hands. In the center of the fresco, St. Martin , the patron saint of the church, behind whom the beggar crouches, towards the Blessed Mother Mary. She is shown with a scepter and holding the baby Jesus in her arms. Next to her, St. Joseph with a lily in his hand. At the feet of St. Martins flutters the goose, the attribute of the saint, surrounded by angels .
The ceiling fresco between the nave and the choir depicts the coronation of Mary by the Holy Trinity . The coats of arms of the Wettenhausen monastery (left) and the provost Bartholomäus Koppenhofer (1704–1740) (right) are placed in the spandrels of the curved choir arch , under the the church building was started.
The choir fresco reproduces the scene of the Visitation . Maria greets her cousin Elizabeth on the steps of a monumental palace. An angel hovers over the two women, holding a banner with the words “Benedicta tu in Mulieribus” (you are blessed among the women). The four images on the side deal with the marriage of Mary with Joseph, the Annunciation by the Archangel Gabriel , the presentation in the temple and the Assumption of Mary .
The parapet of the upper gallery is decorated with frescoes of angels making music who play various instruments such as horns, flute, harp, violin and trombones.
Furnishing
- The monumental high altar is supported by three blue and gold marbled columns and the almost life-size sculptures of St. Joachim (left) and St. Anna (right) flanked. It is crowned by a canopy under which God the Father is enthroned in the midst of clouds and angels above the dove of the Holy Spirit . In the altar niche is the so-called Brotherhood Madonna by the sculptor Christoph Rodt (around 1575–1634).
- The two side altars were created by the sculptor Johann Michael Fischer from Dillingen . They are considered to be the first rococo altars in the old Günzburg district. The left altar is dedicated to St. Dedicated to Martin. On the altar sheet he is shown sitting on a horse sharing his cloak with a beggar. At the bottom of the picture an angel spreads out a map showing Deubach in 1746. A sculpture of Sebastian pierced by arrows crowns the altar. The painting of the Joseph altar bears the signature of Johann Georg Wolcker, who also created the frescoes. It shows Joseph carrying the baby Jesus in his carpentry workshop. God the Father looks at the scene from the top of the picture. In the altar extract is St. Leonhard , the patron saint of domestic cattle. The glass shrine on the altar table contains the relics of the martyr Ursinus, a so-called catacomb saint .
- The pulpit is made of reddish stucco marble , the sound cover is crowned by a trumpet angel. On the pulpit is the coat of arms of Provost Melchior Gast (1740–1755), under which the building of the church was completed.
- The sculpture of St. Sebastian on the south wall is probably a late Gothic work .
- On the south wall there is also the Deubach miraculous image , a late Gothic Madonna in a halo from the Ulm school , which is attributed to the circle of the sculptor Daniel Mauch and dated around 1510.
organ
The organ on the upper of the two galleries dates from the time the church was built. It was built in 1749 by the Ulm organ builder Georg Friedrich Schmahl and is one of the few remaining works by Schmahl. The Deubach organ has been rebuilt several times over the centuries and was fundamentally restored in 1980 by Orgelbau Sandtner . The gaming table set up at the end of the 19th century was replaced by an originally existing play cabinet. In 2002 the organ was overhauled again and received a new bellows system .
The instrument has seven manual registers and two pedal registers. The attached pedal has a range of C – f.
