St. Peter and Paul (Unterirsingen)
The chapel of St. Peter and Paul in Unterirsingen , a district of the Türkheim market in the Unterallgäu district , Bavaria , was built either in the early 17th or early 18th century, according to different sources. The chapel, whose predecessor buildings date back to the 13th century, is a listed building .
history
In place of the existing chapel there was originally the parish church of the parish of Irsingen. According to literature, the assumption is made that it was the parish church of the Franconian Reichshof Wiedergeltingen. In 1283 the knight Eberhard von Schönegg sold the patronage rights of the two parishes - Ober- and Unterirsingen - to the Steingaden monastery . The latter was given the two churches by the Augsburg bishop Hartwig in 1284 . The parish was incorporated into the monastery in 1296 , while the monastery ceded the fiefdom of the church to the bishop. Both the parish and the village are likely to have gone in the 15th century. Only the customs house and the chapel, which now belongs to the parish of Oberirsingen, remained.
The chapel building is a simple baroque new building and dates either from the early 17th or early 18th century. The auxiliary bishop Johann Jakob von Mayr carried out the consecration on May 9, 1733. This date is also not clear, so the year 1864 is also mentioned as the year of consecration. Restorations of the building took place in 1919 and between 1946 and 1953. During this time, the ceiling and the roof structure including the roof turrets were renewed. The architect of the restoration work was Josef Ruf from Mindelheim . The chapel was reopened on June 29, 1955.
Building description
The chapel, not far southeast of the Zollhaus manor, is a three-sided closed building. Inside there is a new field ceiling made of wood . There are two arched windows in the longitudinal walls and one arched window in each of the slopes. A whitewashed gallery is built on the inside of the west wall , under which there is an arched door with square peepholes. The door leaf with fittings dates from the 18th century. There is a sideboard with rounded corners in the south wall. An eaves cornice with carnies runs along the outer facade . The octagonal roof turret with onion dome at the western end of the roof ridge is completely covered with shingles and renewed. The vestibule on the west side is more recent than the chapel and was added in the 18th century. The vestibule is covered with a pent roof , which rises to the base of the gable of the chapel. A retracted round-arched door leads into the vestibule on the north side and a segmented arched door on the south side. The floor of the vestibule consists of brick paving, which is closed on the inside by a flat ceiling .
Interior
There used to be two oval ceiling paintings in the chapel. These were probably created in 1733 by Josef Anton Hafner from Türkheim. The altar dates from the end of the 17th century and has been partially changed. The two-column altar structure with acanthus-framed shell niche is made of marbled wood . In the niche there is a wooden figure of Our Lady from around 1700. Next to the altar columns, there are pilasters and figures of Saints Peter and Paul placed at right angles. The figures of the apostles probably date from the second half of the 16th century. In the altar extension, which is bordered by baluster-like pilasters and volutes, there is an arched, closed painting of Saint Norbert from the end of the 17th century.
The wooden crucifix dates from the second quarter of the 18th century, the painting Mariahilf from the first half of the 18th century. A votive picture with the Mother of God, painted on canvas , bears the inscription: Anno 1767 / Sage ich endts / Gesezte besides God Alhiesiger Graces / Mother Maria schuldigisten thanks, Before liberation / really rampant vicious addiction, which I am with peculiar / licher Honoring the Saturday as well as the UL women vorabente (s) / with free adjustment of handworkh anhiehero engaged, to which / I do not want to have my dear Nachkömling connected, but faithful / admonished.
