The St. Ursula Chapel is a monument in Harthausen near Friedberg .

history

The popular pilgrimage church of St. Ursula, probably from the 12th century , used to be on the road to Dasing . This was demolished in 1848 and instead a chapel was built in the town center . Today the chapel is owned by the city of Friedberg. The services are organized by the parish of St. John Baptist .

Building description

St. Ursula is a simple, unstructured hall building with a three-sided end . The nave has three arched window axes . Above the sign in the west is a square roof turret with a hood , the design of which, like that of the choir , is based on Gothic models.

Furnishing

Most of the high-quality furnishings come from the previous chapel. The choir altar around 1680 shows a canvas painting by an unknown artist, on which the glorification of St. Ursula is shown with companions. Saint Kordula kneels in front of her and below her the poor souls in purgatory are depicted. On the two columns of the altar rests a cranked cornice with blown gables and a cartouche with an angel's head. On the side there are figures (around 1510/20) of St. Blaise (right) and St. Sebastian (left). As was the case in late Gothic fashion, the latter is not shown as a martyr , as usual, but as a triumphant nobleman who only carries an arrow in his hand as an identification mark. The figure of St. Ursula in the middle of the north wall of the nave was probably made by the same artist. Two other unknown female martyrs with palm branches (around 1480/1490) represent the companions of the saints. The figures on the south wall of the nave come from the early ( Lamentation ) and from the second third (Corpus Christi) of the 18th century. The figures were later recast .

Two colored glass windows in the neo-Romanesque style in the choir were created in 1914 by the royal Bavarian court glass painter Joseph Peter Bockhorni . The peasant saint Isidor is shown in the left window and St. Florian is shown in the right window .
