St. Peter (Hörlis)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
St. Peter in Hörlis

The Roman Catholic St. Peter's Chapel in Hörlis , a district of the Kirchhaslach community in the Unterallgäu district ( Bavaria ), was probably built around the middle of the 15th century at the same time as the hamlet itself. The church building is a listed building.

history

The existing building dates from 1683, when the farmer Johann Bertele from Hörlis had the chapel rebuilt. The first service was celebrated on April 13, 1684. In the west wall there is a stone window frame with the designation 1559 . This indicates either that this was used again as an older individual piece or that structural components of the previous building have been retained in the new building. A restoration took place in 1893, around 1965 and in the 2010s.

Building description

North view of the chapel in Hörlis

The chapel consists of a hall with a three-sided end. In the nave there are two transverse oval windows on both sides. These can also be found on the oblique axes of the apse . Access to the chapel is through an arched door on the north wall. In the lower area of ​​the western gable side there is a barred opening. On the inside of the opening, which is surrounded by stone walls decorated with diamond fields and rosettes, the year 1559 can be found in the vertex . The inside of the window is surrounded by an arched screen with sloping side reveals. A flat ceiling is built into the nave .

The facade of the three-sided end is decorated on the outside with segmental arches closing panels. The kinked pillar templates between the panels contain bulbous cornices . With the exception of the west side, a plinth runs around the chapel, which is closed off by a cranked, wide beaded cornice. The base is also led around the portal columns and the choir pillars. A profiled eaves cornice runs below the roof . A clock is built into a wooden gable above the final axis of the choir. An aedicula is built around the access portal on the west side . This consists of thin half-columns flanking the entrance door. The pillars sit on bulbous plinths and have no capitals . A cranked, strongly profiled triangular gable rises above it. The entrance door is from the end of the 18th century. On the outside of the door there is a rich, flat, ornamental carving in early classical forms. A roof turret with a square base rises above the west gable. The lower part of the roof ridge is closed off by a profiled cornice. The upper part of the roof ridge with its narrower diagonal sides is octagonal . He has a tin-covered, renewed tail cap with a tip. Just like on the rest of the roof, a profiled eaves cornice runs underneath.

Interior

An ornamental fresco in Neurococo shapes is attached to the ceiling of the nave. In the center of the fresco is the St. Peter's Chapel with the miraculous image of Kirchhaslach.

The altar dates from around 1683 and is made of wood. It is marbled olive brown and decorated with gold decor. The ornaments are made in the auricle style. The stipes of the altar bulge towards the top. On the altar there is a convex rococo plinth with a crucifix on top . The four wooden candlesticks are from the 18th century. The altar structure has two columns. A wide auricle cartridge is present on the predella between the bases of the columns. On the two outer sides, neo-Gothic figures of the apostles Peter and Paul are placed on volute consoles . The altar is closed by a cranked entablature with segmented gable pieces, which are located on the sides of the low altar extension . In this an auricle cartridge with an inscription is inserted.

The stalls probably date from the 18th century and have curved plank cheeks. There is also a mounted crucifix on the outside of the choir apex and a lecture crucifix on the inside, both from the end of the 17th century. The colored copper engravings of the Way of the Cross were created by Johann Michael Probst from Augsburg and date from the second half of the 18th century.
