It belongs to the parish of St. Peter and Paul Stötten in the Marktoberdorf deanery of the diocese of Augsburg . Immediately next to it is the Stötten rectory with its baroque interior design.
History and architecture
The Church of Stötten was first mentioned in 1314 in a document from the Stams Monastery . It was probably founded at the end of the 12th century by the Ottobeuren monastery .
The late Gothic building from the 15th / 16th centuries. Century was increased in 1719/1720 by Thomas Wind according to plans of the 1717 deceased Füssen master builder Johann Jakob Herkomer and then extended to the west in 1780/1781 according to a design by Benedikt Nigg and increased again.
The church is a four-axis hall building with a flat ceiling over lateral stitch caps , the walls of which are divided by double pilasters with a common base and entablature. The retracted, three-sided closed choir is closed by a barrel vault with stitch caps. To the north is a sacristy from 1774. To the northeast of the nave there is a mighty, late medieval tower with a gable roof, which has four-part, round arched sound arcades .
The choir was richly stuccoed in the years 1698/1699 by Franz and Johann Schmuzer with strong acanthus tendrils , bay leaf sticks and cherubs busts . Simultaneous canvas paintings by Johann Georg Knappich with depictions from the Passion of Christ are arranged in the recessed fields. On the north wall of the choir there are paintings, presumably from the first half of the 17th century, showing the false windows and, to the east of them, the Last Supper in an architectural setting and below them Abraham and Melchizedek and the coats of arms of the donors.
The frescoes in the nave and an illusionistic frame system were created by Joseph Keller in 1781–1783 . Ecclesia with three false teachers, above the church patron at the feet of Christ, above the gallery King David and to the side of it the church fathers and divine virtues are depicted in illusionistic monumental architecture . The undersides of the galleries show the vocation of Peter and the farewell of the princes of the apostles below, as well as the eye of God and the Christ monogram above . Saint Cecilia and angels playing music are depicted on the parapets .
Furnishing
A late Gothic crucifixion group from around 1510/1520 is placed in the high altar. The stucco marble baptismal font was created by Abraham Bader in 1736/1737. The pulpit from 1956 shows evangelist figures on the basket, which were created in 1695 by Johann Ludwig Ertinger the Younger.
The chairs with openwork backrests were made by Xaver Fichtel in 1782/1783, the cheeks were made by Ignaz Eberle in 1782/1783. The Way of the Cross was created as an oil painting on canvas by Joseph Rieger in 1774/1775.
A seated figure of St. Anna Selbdritt was created around 1510/1520. Ten apostles come from the years 1757/1758 by Johann Paul Seitz, as is probably the life-size dungeon Christ in the separate room of the southern annex. There is also a priest's tombstone with an incised half-figure with the date 1502 and an epitaph with Arma Christi from 1510. In the sacristy there are two inlaid cupboards, one of which was created in 1668 by Jörg Pfeiffer and the other in 1689 by Stephan Angerkofer.
