History and architecture
Hilzingen Church was built as the priory church of Petershausen Monastery after 1747, and the interior was completed by 1753. It is considered to be the work of Peter Thumb , who also built the Birnau pilgrimage church , which is related in the complex . The sculptural decoration was probably made by Johann Georg Gigl and Dominikus Hermenegild Herberger, the paintings by Benedikt Gambs .
The free-standing church, which does not face east, is structured on the outside by staggered components with colored pilaster strips and is illuminated by evenly lined up arched windows. The entrance front is characterized by the memorable tower with an octagonal bell storey, baroque dome and onion-shaped lantern . The sandstone portal is decorated with the coat of arms of Abbot Michael Sauter. The five-axis hall church is widened like a transept in the fourth yoke with oval ends; the sacristy is built behind the recessed rectangular choir . The walls are structured with pilasters with high entablature pieces, the room is closed off by a flat barrel vault with deeply cut stitch caps .
The ceiling paintings in the choir show the Lord's Supper in the main picture and typologically assigned scenes from the Old Testament in the subsequent lunettes . After this, a scene is shown in the nave in which the Mother of God has angels present a chasuble to Saint Ildephons as a reward for his writing "On the Virginity of the Mother of God" , followed by depictions of St. Benedict in the midst of the triumphant church and the relocation of the Hohentwielkloster to Stein am Rhein in 1005 by the later Emperor Heinrich II and his wife Kunigunde of Luxembourg , here with a church model. The four cardinal virtues are depicted in the lunettes , above the side altars the Saints Martin and Vitus , the four continents, the three main Christian virtues and allegories of vigilance and generosity.
