St. Martin (Waging am See)
The Roman Catholic parish church of St. Martin in Waging am See , a municipality in the Upper Bavarian district of Traunstein , was built in the 17th century on the site of various previous buildings.

The church is one of the protected architectural monuments in Bavaria.
history
The patronage of St. Martin of Tours , which is particularly widespread in the Franconian Empire, means that the church was built in the 8th / 9th centuries. Suspect century. In the middle of the 15th century a new building in the late Gothic style was built, from which the oldest parts of today's church, the basement of the tower as well as parts of the choir and the surrounding walls originate. In 1611 a fire destroyed this church building, which was rebuilt in 1612. In 1688/89 the west tower was renewed from the bell storey, the multiple-coupled hood was put on in 1760/65. In the years 1697 to 1699 the interior was redesigned into a baroque wall pillar church , the nave was vaulted with a lance cap barrel and covered with stucco by the Salzburg plasterer Joseph Schmidt . In 1722/23 the old choir was demolished and rebuilt by the Salzburg court mason Tobias Kendler as a cross-shaped structure with brotherhood chapels on the side . Joseph Höpp (or Hepp) from Burghausen carried out the band work piece. In the third phase of renovation in 1895/96, under the direction of the Munich architect Joseph Elsner senior, the former chapels were converted into aisles and the choir was extended by a yoke .
During the exterior renovation of the church in 1971/72, a painted frieze on the cornice of the nave was exposed again, which is dated to the late Gothic period.
architecture
The three-aisled nave is divided into three bays. It is covered by a barrel cap with double belt arches that rest on strong double pilasters with elaborately carved capitals and cranked entablature pieces. A multi-profiled cornice runs at the base of the vault . Wide arched arcades above mighty pillars open to the side aisles and the chapel-like transept arms. Over the passages to the side aisles, balconies with protruding balustrades protrude into the central nave. The semicircular closed choir, which is the same width as the central nave, is illuminated by high windows that cut into the vault. The western end of the nave is formed by a double gallery resting on two columns and on brackets on the wall .
Piece
The stucco decor in the nave on a pink background from the baroque construction phase is characterized by acanthus leaves . The capitals are carved with colored putti heads and fruit garlands. A clear difference is the finer band work in the choir and the transept arms from the Rococo period. In the center of the choir vault, angel heads float above clouds amid a halo of rays, two putti hold the cross. Angel sputtles with cartouches can be seen on the crossing arches. The capitals of the pilasters are decorated with stylized foliage and an egg stick . The stucco on a gray background in the extension of the choir at the end of the 19th century is based on the rococo forms.
