Furnishing

Adoration of the miraculous image of Genazano

The high altar is made of marbled wood and dates from 1730/1740. The rotating niche tabernacle is from an older time. To the right and left of the modern altarpiece, next to staggered free columns on consoles, there are the figures of Saints Theodore and Alexander. Both figures are painted white. The archangel Raphael is shown in the elevator picture of the high altar . This portrait can be ascribed to a master of the Ottobeurer circle, probably Franz Anton Erler . The two side altars are also superstructures made of marbled wood and come from the same time as the high altar. The left side altar shows St. Magdalena on the painted antependium and a rosary Madonna with St. Dominic and St. Catherine of Siena on the altarpiece . The altarpiece is labeled F. Herman fecit 1666 , meaning Franz Georg Hermann the Elder . The side altar on the right also has a painted antependium and shows St. Peter. The altarpiece from the 18th century in the style of Johann Friedrich Sichelbein III depicts a crucifixion group.

The marbled wood baptismal font dates from the middle of the 19th century. The basin is on an octagonal pillar. The lid bears the group of figures of the baptism of Christ.

The pulpit , also made of marbled wood with partially gilded decor, was created around 1790 . The articulated basket carries the figures of the four evangelists . The stalls were made from softwood in 1790 . The ceiling painting was created in 1920 by the Haugg brothers.

There are several paintings in the church. These are the stoning of St. Stephen from 1730, Mary of the Good Council from 1768 and the veneration of the miraculous image of Genazano from the middle of the 18th century. The wooden figures of the crucifixion group, Maria and Johannes, date from the 18th century. Just like the figures of Christ with angels and apostles on the Mount of Olives.
