St. Martin (Zeilarn)
The Roman Catholic parish church of St. Martin is a Gothic hall church in Zeilarn in the Lower Bavarian district of Rottal-Inn . It belongs to the parish of St. Martin Zeilarn in the Simbach deanery of the Diocese of Passau .
history
A church in Zeilarn was first mentioned in a document around 788. Components of a building from the 13th / 14th centuries Century (substructure of the nave and the tower) can still be seen in today's church. The church was destroyed during the Thirty Years War and then rebuilt. In the years 1886-1891, the church was extended to the west by Johann Baptist Schott and furnished in a neo-Gothic style. The ribs of the choir vault, which had been chopped off in the baroque period, were restored. The bells had to be delivered in 1942 and were re-cast in 1950. A renovation was made in 1961. In 1988 a new marble sculpture of St. Martin was erected by the sculptor Toni Preis from Zeilarn.
architecture
The nave is connected to a retracted choir and lies with this under a common roof. The buttresses of the choir show the angular middle section typical of the region. The tower is built on the north side of the choir. Its lower three floors are stilted pointed arch friezes between corner pilaster strip divided, the upper part of the tower and spire were created during the neo-Gothic extension. In the south there is a sign with a star rib vault. On the south side of the choir is the Gothic sacristy, which was probably extended to the west in 1634.
The nave consists of five original and two neo-Gothic bays. The net vault is developed from a regular figuration with three parallel ribs each, which are caught by coarse brackets on profiled shield arches . The two-bay choir ends in a five-eighth section , on the north side the older tower jumps in slightly. The room is closed off by a net vault over flat, profiled shield arches, which develops from the semicircular services in front of it with capitals reworked in a neo-Gothic style.
Furnishing
The furnishings were carried out in a uniform neo-Gothic style by Emanuel Basler from Simbach am Inn and Sebastian Höfele from Pfarrkirchen in the years 1891/1892 according to a design by the builder's brother, Alois Schott . On the altar on the north side, older wooden figures have been reused, some of which have been reworked. The southern side altar was transferred to Gehersdorf in 1989. At the end of the choir there are four priest tombstones made of red marble with full and half-figure representations in relief, which were created in the late Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque periods. The organ is a work by Michael Weise from 1980 with 16 stops on two manuals and pedal .
