history
Stein is one of the first parishes in the Swabian Oberland. These go back to the activities of St. Magnus von Füssen and the bishops of Augsburg . Stein im Allgäu appears under the name "Staine" in the year 1275 in the directories of the Konstanz parishes.
The oldest parts of the Church of St. Mauritius date from the late Gothic period around 1200. In 1450, Caspar von Laubenberg had a St. Mary's Chapel built on the south side of the church. The Gothic font from 1475 was donated by the knight Caspar von Laubenberg. The patronage of the Laubenberger over Stein ended in 1647. For a few years, until 1652, the patronage lay with the barons of Pappus-Tratzberg, and then passed to the Counts of Königsegg . The crypt of the Marienkapelle remained in use by the barons of Pappus-Tratzberg.
In 1660 the old Gothic high altar was removed from the church and replaced with a Renaissance altar . In 1669 the church received a new tower gable and a new tower roof. In 1750 it was equipped with side altars.
With the "construction of the chapel", which is mentioned in a testimony from the year 1725, a redesign of the Marienkapelle was probably meant. This was probably rebuilt at that time and provided with an opening to the nave of the church through pillar arcades.
The Marien Altar was erected in 1750. For its central figure, a former Maria supporting pole was used.
In 1762 the rectory was built.
St. Mauritius was rebuilt in 1773 and 1774 by Franz Abrell and Joseph Hornstein . The nave was then given a new plastered vault. Three altars were set in 1798 by Joseph Herz "on Arth marble according to neyestem taste".
In 1803 the church received its pulpit that still exists today.
In 1863 there was another renovation: instead of a wooden porch, the western sign was added. In its lower part it contained two side staircases and a main entrance with a flight of stairs. In the upper part, two passages to the gallery were created.
A few years later, in 1867, the floor of the choir was covered with Solnhof panels. In addition, the sacristy was renovated at that time, the choir stalls were made and the dining grill replaced. A new Madonna was purchased the following year. The choir altar was given a new picture, which comes from Josef Zink from Munich and shows the crucifixion of Jesus.
The six silver altar candlesticks that Katharina Krebs donated in 1873 cost 115 gulden.
In 1880 the crypt was enlarged. At that time the church was restored and painted and the furnishings were redesigned. The new floor in the nave was laid in 1881.
In 1903 Jakob Huwyler II painted the ceiling painting showing St. Mauritius and a mural.
In 1939 the choir was restored and in 1949 the interior of the church was renovated. Another renovation of the interior took place in 1984.
organ
In 1869, the Immenstadt organ builder Fidelis Haser built a church organ with a neo-Gothic case for St. Mauritius. It cost 700 guilders , which were raised through donations.
The organ was rebuilt by Julius Schwarzbauer in 1905. This is recorded in his catalog raisonné as “Fidelis Haser's pneumatic conversion”.
In 1931 Josef Zeilhuber from Altstädten expanded the organ to eight registers. It was also the Zeilhuber company that cleaned the organ around 1970.
In 2005 a new organ was inaugurated. It comes from the Siegfried Schmid organ building workshop in Knottenried , and was taken by Günter Hörmann from Ruderatshofen . This new organ has 13 registers.
