St. Michael (Seeshaupt)
The Roman Catholic parish church of St. Michael is located in Seeshaupt in the Upper Bavarian district of Weilheim-Schongau . The parish of St. Michael is part of the Benediktbeuern deanery .
history
From around 1346 there was a Romanesque choir tower church in Seeshaupt , the nave of which was today's Anna chapel . The lower part of the tower with the choir arch probably even dates from the 12th century. A ribbed vault was erected there in the early 14th century . In 1352 the church was sold by Count Walram von Seefeld to the Augustinian Canons of Polling , which in turn sold it to the Canons of Bernried in 1479 . After the church was raised from there to a parish church , a new Gothic building was to be built. The old nave was not demolished, but integrated as a side chapel into the three bays long new nave. This church was consecrated on August 22nd, 1487. Around 1670 to 1680, an octagonal upper floor and an onion dome were added to the tower in the Baroque era , the pointed arch windows were replaced by arched windows and the rib vault was replaced by stucco . This work was probably carried out by Caspar Feichtmayr from Wessobrunn . Around 1708 the late Gothic reticulated vault in the Anna chapel was replaced by stucco.
During the great village fire on March 31, 1815, in which 29 Seeshaupter properties were destroyed, the church tower burned down and the bells melted. The rest of the building remained without major damage, which is why only the church roof and the tower had to be replaced. They were adapted to the taste of classicism with a flatter roof and a pointed helmet on the tower. From 1870, the baroque furnishings of the church were replaced by pastor Johann Baptist Held with new works of art in the style of the Neo-Renaissance and the Nazarenes .
From 1909 to 1911 the church was built according to plans by the architects Josef Eisner sen. and Josef Eisner jun. expanded. The yoke of the nave protruding beyond the Anna chapel was broken off and a four bay long new nave with pilasters and a barrel vault made of iron and rabitz was added to the west . The former nave was initially thought to be a place for children and has been used as a choir room since the liturgical reform . In addition to the expansion, the furnishings were also standardized in the Baroque style. Furthermore, the tower was raised by one story and its pointed helmet was replaced by a curved onion dome. It was partly financed by a donation from the industrialist Heinrich von dall'Armi .
In World War II, all the bells were melted down. In July 1950 the parish church finally received a new four-part bell. The bells Johannes Nepomuk , Michael and Maria are consecrated , plus the death knell .

On the back wall of the pulpit, the tablets of the Law of Moses are shown in relief . The sound cover , which is carried by two angels, is adorned with five cartouches with symbols and lettering of the religious aids in the temptations of life: chalice and host ( sacrifice AND SACRAMENT ), ciborium ( PRAYER AND ADORATION ), tiara ( LOVE OF THE CHURCH ) , Crown of Thorns ( PATIENCE IN ALL SUFFERING ), Gospel Book ( HOLY GOSPEL ).

Anna Chapel
The baroque altar, originally from Eschenlohe and donated around 1910 by Baron von Beck von Schloss Hohenburg , contains the group of figures depicting the instruction of Mary by Anna . The figure of Anne comes from the 18th century. The extract shows a dove of the Holy Spirit and the predella shows Mary's visit to Elisabeth . The gable is decorated with figures of angels.
Next to the altar there is a folk altar in the chapel, which was created by the sculptor Egon Stöckle in 1995, as well as an Easter candlestick depicting the prophet Jonah, whose liberation on the third day from the belly of a fish is interpreted as a sign of the resurrection of Christ. In addition, at the altar there is a boxwood cross above Adam's skull, which refers to the following passage from the Bible: "For as they all die in Adam, so in Christ they will all be made alive" ( 1 Cor 15:22 EU ).
Other equipment
In the choir room on the right there is a historical replica of the painting of the sermon of John the Baptist on the Jordan by Bonifazio Veronese , made by Hermann Ebers. Opposite the southern entrance hangs a half- length portrait of Christ attributed to Joseph Schlotthauer . Opposite the pulpit is a Gothic Pietà from the mid-15th century. A landscape painting of the Calvary by Karl-Hubert Frosch hangs under the gallery . The picture is probably the design of the one in Einsiedeln , which was inaugurated in 1893. Around 1909, life-size sculptures of the apostles Peter and Paul were set up on the former choir arch where the side altars were previously .
Lilly Schultz designed the people's altar in 1969 in enamel and old brass .
In the tower there are not yet fully exposed frescoes of rarity. The wall paintings in the room, which functioned as a choir until the 15th century, show the coronation of Mary in the east and the adoration of the kings in the south. A depiction of the Madonna and Child probably dates from the Romanesque period . Below these images are some saints . A late Gothic silver reliquary cross from around 1500 has been preserved from the medieval church treasure .
