history
The first mention of a church in the Haslach valley dates from 1262 , but without any further details of the location. The Premonstratensian Monastery of Mönchsroth incorporated the parish Haslach in 1350. In 1381 Konrad Fruenbis, a former serf from Haslach, became Abbot of Mönchsroth. At that time there were only 24 places to live in the area of the village. In 1441 the current parish church was built at the instigation of Abbot Martin Hesser.
In 1703 a miraculous miraculous image, the nodding Madonna , was found at the Mühlgatter and placed in the church. In 1711 the church was redesigned in Baroque style in the style of the Haidgau chapel. Abbot Hermann Vogler had the rectory and messner's house built in the form of a castle with four oriel towers below the church in 1714. In 1741 the brook path from Haslach to Rot was expanded into a paved road. In 1760, Abbot Mauritius Moritz brought the Barbara Brotherhood into being in the community. From 1779 to 1781 the later and last abbot of Rot Nikolaus Betscher worked as a pastor in Haslach. In the wake of the troop movements around the Battle of Ostrach , Haslach was ravaged and devastated by French looters in 1799. In 1803 the village was taken over by Count Ludwig von Wartenberg. His nephew, Count zu Erbach-Erbach, took over the community from him, took on the title of Count zu Erbach-Erbach and Wartenberg-Roth and sold the town and its subjects to the Kingdom of Württemberg in 1844 . The noble house, however, exercised the right to church patronage until 1918. In 1889 the present choir was added.
In 1914 the church was connected to the power grid . Despite the tense economic situation, the nave was enlarged in 1923. In the ideologically difficult environment of the Hitler era , the church was expanded again in 1937 with consecration by Bishop Joannes Baptista Sproll . In 1942 the three bells were confiscated for war purposes. In the course of 1949 the community acquired four new bells. In 1950 a heater was installed in the church. 1961 was the investiture of the long-time pastor Josef Heiß and the consecration of the 53 hundredweight Joseph bell. In 1988 Pastor Hot died, who until then had celebrated Holy Mass without a people's altar.
On October 27, 1991, after extensive renovations, additions and renovations, the folk altar and ambo by the sculptor Tagwerker from Leinfelden-Echterdingen were consecrated.
Structure and equipment
The church has a Gothic beaver-tailed west tower with four bells, two sound openings and a clock with two dials. The high altar picture is by Andreas Brugger and shows the Assumption of the Virgin Mary . The high altar and pulpit date from the Baroque period. The pulpit in the nave on the left can be reached from the outside via a staircase.
The ambo and the people's altar date from 1991. The sculptor Gerhard Tagwerker from Leinfelden-Echterdingen based the design on a passage from the Bible by the Evangelist Johannes (21.1-14), which tells how the risen Jesus told his disciples at the lake from Tiberias appears and helps them to catch rich fish.
The church has a ceiling with listed wooden panels in stucco frames, a statue of the Virgin Mary from 1460 and statues of the Apostles from the 18th century on the walls. In the choir there are choir stalls on both sides. The font is in front of the right side altar. There is a confessional on both sides of the nave . The church has a gallery with an organ that can be reached via the tower. The organ was purchased from Tiberius Hecht in Spaichingen in 1869 . A second older font is in the entrance area.
On the outside of the church is a small marble plaque with the inscription In memory of Vinzenz Lendle Veteran 1812/1813 R * J * P - requiescat in pace or rest in peace. A sundial is attached to the south wall of the church .
