St. Rasso (Untergammenried)
St. Rasso is a Roman Catholic pilgrimage church in the Upper Swabian Untergammenried , a district of Bad Wörishofen . It is located in the middle of the hamlet on the east side of the road.
history
The chapel was built by the brothers Georg and Sebastian Zillober (also known as Zihlober), two old unmarried farmers from the hamlet of Untergammenried and Georg Huber, also a farmer, in 1714. The two brothers are said to have seen a picture of St. Rasso in their dreams , to whom they entrusted the patronage of the chapel. They received a picture of the saint from Grafrath , an old Rasso pilgrimage site in Upper Bavaria, which was inserted into the altar . In 1716 the chapel received the licentia celebrandi , Auxiliary Bishop Johann Jakob von Mayr consecrated it on September 13, 1723. Even then, there were many votive plaques on the walls. Because of the great popularity of the pilgrimage in Untergammenried, the chapel was rebuilt larger. The plans were mainly supported by the Wörishofen clerk Johann Joseph Hechenrieder, pastor Franz Joseph Anton Schönagl from Wörishofen and the prioress of the St. Catherine's Monastery in Augsburg, Baroness von Bodmann. The prioress obtained permission for the new building from the bishop in Augsburg and gave the community a Rasso relic that she had received from the provost of Diessen in Grafrath. The three farmers who had already built the first chapel again bore part of the cost of the new building. Ulrich Huber made the building site, his garden, available. The foundation stone of the pilgrimage church was laid on June 13, 1746 by two councilors from nearby Mindelheim . They also brought a donation from the citizens of Mindelheim. On June 19, 1747, the first rasso festival was celebrated in the church. Auxiliary Bishop Franz Xaver Adelmann von Adelmannsfelden consecrated the church on October 13, 1756. It was closed from 1807 to 1814, and in 1855 an extensive renovation took place. The color scheme, especially of the furnishings, was falsified. Outside it was renovated in 1970, inside a little later.
Building description
Interior
The choir has moved in and has a semicircular ending. At a height of about two meters there are profiled cornices interrupted by the altar structure on both sides. In the north and south, about half a meter above, the apexes of a round-arched window touch the profiled cornice under the valley of the flat ceiling . The end of the choir begins after the eastern windows. On both sides of the west axis there are arched stitches. The floor of the choir is raised by one step. The re-entrant choir arch has pilasters and entablature pieces in front of the reveal as well as a semicircular end. The nave is designed like a hall. The east corners and the three axes are rounded. In the outer axes there are arched windows of the same type as in the choir and in the central axis on both sides below round arched panels with figures. Smaller windows in height are drawn in at the top and bottom and close in a rounded arch. The wall structure in the nave is made up of pilasters and a painted cornice. Two galleries in the west sit on two wooden pillars each, the lower ones of which have already been renewed. The parapets with cornered square balusters swing in a concave-convex-concave front and enclose a transversely oval installation for the gallery staircase placed inside in front of the center of the west wall. This is also the substructure of the tower . You enter the east side of the built-in unit through a rectangular door. In the west wall on both sides of the tower substructure there are arched arches at the bottom and rectangular windows with recessed, round-arched vertical sides above the second gallery. The arched arch portals on the west axis of both longitudinal walls have double door leaves and fittings. The mirror ceiling is above a painted cornice.
Exterior
The profiled eaves cornice is cranked over the masonry ashlar at the four corners of the nave. In the apex of the choir under the gallery of the two-story high altar there is an arched door to the sacristy and to the south of it a transverse rectangular window. On the west side, about a third of the height and in the gable, small arched windows illuminate the staircase. Above the gable with profiled slopes, small arched openings and transverse oval holes are made on the main sides. The pointed helmet is covered with sheet metal.
Furnishing
Piece
The stucco of the church was created around 1747. A slightly oblong oval painting field on the choir ceiling has a profile frame and loosely rocailled decor with ribbon work and flower chains all around . The base and the apex of the reveal of the choir arch are decorated with rocailles, which are continued on the crointhing capitals of the choir arch pilasters .
Frescoes
The frescoes of the church created Joseph Hartmann in 1747. At the choir ceiling of the holy Rasso in white robes priest is shown in glory as intercessors for the needy. On the end of the choir wall, two scenes are marked with 1747 and JOSEPH HART- / MANN / PINXIT on both sides of the upper altar . On the left, they show Saint Rasso as an Augustinian canon in prayer. Above this an angel hurls lightning at the devil . The right picture shows Rasso as a general on horseback in the battle against the Hungarians. On the large, curved central field on the ceiling of the nave, Saint Rasso desires the Bavarian Duke Heinrich to be released from military service. The reason for this was the construction of a monastery, which the angel symbolizes above the scene with the plan of a church. Cartouches in the four vertices of the main picture are shown with the four elements of need, in which St. Rasso is supposed to help. The eastern picture uses reapers on the way to the cornfield to establish a connection to the earth. The inscription reads: The love of the fruit of the earth, / To be sustained by you. The southern fresco, showing the help against fire, shows a weeping family in front of a burning house in which lightning has struck with the inscription: Before thunder, hail, schaur and lightning / wird, die Vertruen, Rasso Schitzen . The northern cartouche symbolizes the dangers from the air. One man holds on to a tree trunk in the storm, another asks Saint Rasso for help. To this fresco belongs the inscription: Bey Saus und rous, the storm, winds, / Through Rasso you can find help. A ship in distress in the western picture indicates Rasso's help against the threats to the water with the inscription: Rasso never helps too spoth / in danger of death and water shortage .
Altars
The three altars of the church date from the middle of the 18th century. They consist of wood in ocher-yellow, brown, gray and olive-green tones.
