Lienz parish church
The Roman Catholic parish church of Lienz zu St. Andrä is located north of the city center on the Pfarrbichl at 692 meters above sea level. Its architectural core is a Gothic building and has been rebuilt several times during various epochs. It is the oldest parish church in Lienz and one of the oldest parishes in East Tyrol .
history
As early as the 5th century there was an early Christian church on the Pfarrbichl, north of Lienz. In 1204 the Bishop of Pola consecrated a Romanesque church. It had a single nave, was decorated with frescoes and probably had a flat ceiling. The two portal lions that still stand at the main gate today come from this church.
In 1430, the Görzer Bauhütte, commissioned by the Görz counts , who lived in Lienz , began extensive renovations into a three-aisled Gothic basilica. It was also decorated with frescoes and received a crypt under the choir . The Innsbruck sculptor C. Geiger created the grave slabs for the last Count Leonhard († April 12, 1500) and for Michael von Wolkenstein-Rodenegg and his wife Barbara von Thun from dark red marble .
In 1737 a lightning bolt destroyed the tower and church roof. The chancel has now been redesigned in Baroque style . The main altar is the most magnificent baroque altar in East Tyrol. The tower received its current neo-Gothic shape after the redesign of the upper part in 1907/09. At the end of 1949, after it had been “confiscated” during World War II , a new chime consisting of seven bells was purchased and consecrated.
In the 19th century, the church furnishings (benches, pulpit, baptismal font, windows) were regotified and received their present appearance during the last renovation from 1967 to 1969. In the north of the church, the district war memorial with the war memorial chapel was built in 1924/25 by the architect Clemens Holzmeister . It contains a cycle of paintings by Albin Egger-Lienz . The artist is buried there.
After belonging to the Archdiocese of Salzburg for centuries , the parish was subordinated to Bressanone in 1808 , Laibach for a few years , then Brixen again. After the First World War , the Innsbruck-Feldkirch Apostolic Administration was set up, which was converted into the Innsbruck diocese in 1964 .
The organ on the west gallery was originally built in 1618 by the Passau organ builder Andreas Butz . After a renovation by Franz II. Reinisch in 1888, the Butz case that has been preserved has housed an organ from the Reinisch-Pirchner company since 1972 , into which some of the preserved pipes from Butz were integrated.
The patronage is celebrated on November 30th.
Bells
There were bells before the First World War, but they were removed for war purposes. Founder and date of casting are not known. Nine years after the end of the war (1927) seven bells could be purchased by the Grassmayr bell foundry . These had to give way again to war purposes in 1942. It was not until 1949 that today's bell, again consisting of seven bells and made by the Grassmayr bell foundry, could be purchased and consecrated. It is interesting that there are two bell-celebrations. One is from June 24, 1949, the second from February 4, 1950. The reason for a second certificate was the unclean bell disposition from the 1949 casting, so that bells three and six had to be cast in the following year. Bell 7 seems to be of an older date. Presumably it is the leftover bell from the ringing of 1927.
Although the chime is always indicated on a recessed h 0 , bell experts agree by arrangement. It sounds in a raised b 0 .
The belfry has two floors and three sections. The system is electrified and all bells are equipped with clapper catchers .
