St. Michael (Seehausen am Staffelsee)
The Roman Catholic parish church of St. Michael is located in Seehausen am Staffelsee in the Upper Bavarian district of Garmisch-Partenkirchen . The listed church belongs to the deanery Benediktbeuern in the diocese of Augsburg . The address is Seestraße 2 .
history
In 1773, Prince-Bishop Clemens Wenzeslaus and Elector Maximilian from Ettal Abbey were able to obtain approval for the construction of a new village church in Seehausen. Before that, all residents of the parish always had to go to the island of Wörth to the island church there, which was the parish church. St. Michael was built from the beginning of April 1774 to 1776 under Leonhard Matthäus Gießl. The stones from the recently demolished island church were used. The church consecration took place on July 21, 1782 by the Augsburg prince-bishop Clemens Wenzeslaus. The church - like the rectory and the school - was donated by the publisher Matthäus Rieger, who was born in Seehausen .
In 1882 a renovation took place in which various furnishings were painted over in the taste of the time. Also in 1960 the church was renovated inside and outside. However, new work was necessary as early as 1975: the walls were drained and the baroque appearance was restored.
The Seehaus Corpus Christi procession has been taking place from St. Michael over the Staffelsee to the island of Wörth since 1935 .
Description and equipment
The onion dome is located on the west side of the late Baroque centralized hall church . The choir has moved in a little.
Like the stones of the walls, large parts of the church furnishings , such as the baroque stalls , the confessionals , the Michael and Raphaels figure of the high altar and an altar panel of the Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament from 1674, come from the broken island church.
The frescoes painted Johann Georg Kaiser. In the vault of the choir the veneration of the Infant Jesus by the Three Kings is shown, on the left the miraculous multiplication of bread , on the right the wedding in Cana . In the nave , the crucifixion of Jesus is depicted on the ceiling , on the walls there are paintings of the four evangelists and the western church fathers , framed by painted stucco .
On the left and right of the baroque high altar are figures of the Archangels Michael and Raphael . The altarpiece shows Jesus' Last Supper , painted in 1790 by Franz-Xaver Strobl. The altar extract contains God the Father in a halo.
Both side altars probably date from a later time than the high altar. The left one contains, among other things, a small reverse glass picture of the "Seehauser Mother God", the right one of St. Joseph . The carpentry work comes from the Kistler Predl from Murnau am Staffelsee and Anselm Bußjäger from Schöffau .
The pulpit comes from the Zwinck workshop in Oberammergau .
Bells
Until three bells had to be handed in in 1917 , there was a four-part chime in the tower, the individual bells of which came from the years 1487, 1784, 1851 and 1863. The oldest bell was preserved and three new ones were added in 1924. Since all bells except the oldest were withdrawn during the Second World War , Seehausen received four new steel bells in 1948, cast by the Bochum Association :

In 2014 these four bells were replaced by new bronze bells from the Innsbruck bell foundry Grassmayr , which now combine with the still remaining historical bronze bell to form a five-part ring.
