Parish church of Perg
The Roman Catholic parish church of Perg in Perg in Upper Austria's Mühlviertel is a three-aisled, Gothic hall church, is the only building on the relatively large main square and is dedicated to St. Jacob .
In place of a no longer verifiable wooden church, the citizens of Perg built a stone Jacob chapel in 1416, which already had a cemetery. Around 1500 and 1528, respectively, the chapel was expanded to become the Jakobskirche and on October 15, 1542 the parish of Perg was created by separating it from the old parish of Naarn .
The Perger parish church was last thoroughly renovated inside in 1972/73 and outside in 1987.

history
History of the parish
Christianity probably came via Lorch to the plain that was later called Machland . One of four mother parishes in today's Mühlviertel was the Naarn parish .
King Ludwig the Pious restituted the towns of Nardinum (Naarn), Reode ( Ried in der Riedmark ) and Saxina basilica duas ( Saxen ) to the Diocese of Passau as early as 823. Naarn was then a branch parish of Mistelbach near Wels and the main town of the Riedmark , which at that time also included the Machland included.
Only a few Christians are likely to have lived in the still sparsely populated area for a long time, as there were hardly any Christian finds in the 9th century burial ground on the local mountain of the Klammbauerngut in Auhof near Perg in the area of the Pergkirchen parish . The Christians who lived there were probably buried in the Christian cemetery in Naarn until the parish was founded in Pergkirchen in 1142.
A church consecrated to Saint Martin existed in Pergkirchen as early as 1088 as a separate church of the Lords of Perg . In contrast to this, Christian buildings in the area of the parish of Perg with the mention of a Marian altar in the church in Perg (branch church of the parish church of Naarn) can only be documented relatively late in 1363, although the citizens of the village were already occupied by King Ottokar on July 27, 1269 II. Market rights have been granted or confirmed by Bohemia .
Hieronymus Vereallus, bishop and papal legate (identical to Girolamo Verallo , * 1497, † 1555), granted parish rights to the Filialkirche Perg in Vienna on October 15 and since then baptisms , weddings and burials for the Pergians have taken place in this church. The exact location of the parish boundaries as they were established at that time is no longer known.
From 1823 the parish of Perg belonged to the deanery of Pabneukirchen . In some cases the deanery was also called Bergkirchen (= Pergkirchen) because the deacons came from one of the two parishes at times. Of the neighboring parishes, Mitterkirchen, Pergkirchen and Windhaag also belonged to this deanery, while Allerheiligen and Naarn belonged to the deanery Wartberg. After various efforts in 1878 and 1925, the Deanery Perg was established with effect from January 1, 1974 , to which 12 parishes belong.
The list of names of Perger pastors is incomplete. The Reformation played no role in Perg, there were never any Protestant pastors . On November 1, 1750, a second priest was hired.
History of the parish church
The wooden church (s) of Perg
The first church built at this point in Markt Perg was probably a wooden church , because during the renovation of the church now located there, no foundations of an older church building were found. As can be seen from a document from 1363, there was an altar of Mary in the church next to the main altar: Friedrich, the mitten, citizen of Perg, and Kunigunde, his housewife, created an eternal light, which has to burn day and night in a lamp in front of our Marien Altar in the church in Perg.
The Jacob's Chapel in Perg
Around 1416, the citizens of Perger built a first stone church, a Jacob's chapel , in the soft French Gothic style on the spot where the presbytery is today . The residents of the Perg market belonged to the Naarn parish back then and until 1542. On May 1st, 1416, the council of the market in Perg and Konrad Pestel, citizens of Freistadt , founded an eternal early mass in the Jakobskapelle in Perg with the consent of the pastor of Naarn.
The Jacob's Chapel was made up of two broad, rectangular cross-rib vaulted yokes with a 5/8 end, richly carved capitals and keystones with foliage (Lamb of God, St. James the Elder, rose). Six simple, narrow windows without tracery originally reached a meter lower.
The niche for the priests on the south wall is remarkable, where the Gothic vestry portal has been located since 1880.
The Jacob's Church in Perg
A three-bay nave was built around 1500 and the two side aisles were added in 1528 . Two pairs of pillars placed in it formed a three-aisled hall as a church, the central nave has a rich star rib vault , while the two side aisles are vaulted with net ribs .
The expansion of the chapel to the church around 1500 and 1528 included side galleries , which are supported by buttresses already inside . The east pillars of the three-aisled hall are fluted , the west pillars on which the massive gallery stands have smooth shaft surfaces .
At that time the first cemetery was created around the front of the church. Remnants of walls and bones were found there during road works in the early 1960s. Further information on the Perger cemeteries can be found in
The renovations of the parish church of Perg
The period from 1416 until after the devastating fire of 1708
In the Jakobskapelle and later church there was a Gothic winged altar , which was probably removed after the great fire of July 16, 1708, in which the church, part of the rectory, the school and another 108 houses burned down within a short time.
This altar , donated by a bourgeois family around 1500, consisted of four panels with the following motifs: the birth of Christ , the encounter of women , St. James the Elder on an apostolic hike and the beheading of St. James .
The two Jacob's pictures (oil paintings, panel paintings, 91 × 67 cm in size) came to light again in the art trade in the 19th century, were purchased by the Federal Monuments Office and are now in the Linz Castle Museum . The two Marian tablets are lost. The pictures were later called Perger panels . Theodor Bohdanowicz , painter, sculptor and academic restorer from Linz (* 1925, † 1977), copied the tablet St. James the Elder on an apostolic hike = James as a pilgrim and this was placed in the apse of the parish church of Perg at Easter 1975 .
After the fire in 1708, the Perger parish church had no roof for two years. The vault threatened to collapse because the wooden locks were burned out. In a request for a generous fire tax, the pastor wrote that this church was the poorest church in the country because it owned nothing. We haven't even been able to put a roof on the church until now.
As a result, so much was donated by the cities and markets of Upper Austria and the monasteries of Lower Austria that 14,000 roof tiles could be ordered in Passau . The farmers in the area donated wood so that the church received a roof structure and a roof again before the onset of another winter. The damage to the church during this long roofless period was noticeable until the renovations in the second half of the 20th century. An iron clasp that was pulled into the gallery area at that time bears the year 1710.
The period after the fire from 1708 to 1958
As a result, the church was only gradually furnished in a makeshift manner. The main altar, a very simple wooden box , was only installed in 1802, and in 1844 major renovation work was carried out on the masonry, primarily to support the vault. In 1849 the whole church was whitewashed with lime and the roof structure of the tower was renewed. In 1851 the tower received the still existing 12 meter high pyramid roof and the four oriel towers on top of the 33 meter high masonry. The tower has a height of 48 meters including the 3 meter high tower cross with a ball.
Jakob Wöß, pastor of Perg from 1871 to 1890, carried out the first major interior renovation in 1880. The whitewashed ribs and columns were exposed again, the extremely damaged vault renovated, and a new sacristy added on the south side. In place of the wooden box from 1802, the neo-Gothic high altar and a pulpit , which were used until the interior renovation in 1972 , were commissioned from Engelbert Westreicher , Linz. The pulpit was placed opposite the previous one on the south side and made easily accessible from the new sacristy. The old tower sacristy became a confessional chapel. In 1882 the first two painted glass panes from Innsbruck followed for the windows to the left and right of the new high altar.
In 1911 Johann Ev. Stauchner, pastor of Perg from 1900 to 1928, introduced the electric light into the church and in July of that year a new major interior renovation began. The cheeks of the neo-Gothic benches were created by the wood sculptor , politician, mayor and honorary citizen of Perg, Josef Dirnberger (* 1872, † 1937), after whom a street in Perg is named. The church received a new terrazzo pavement , new confessionals , seven more painted windows and the church door on the main portal, which is still in use today .
Under the Perger honorary citizen, Konsistorialrat Karl Mayer , pastor of Perg from 1929 to 1958, an exterior renovation of the parish church (without tower) took place in 1930. The church was colored light gray and the Gothic portal from the time the church was built around 1500 was exposed on the south side. In 1931 the interior was renovated with a new color. During the Second World War , the very damaged church roof was the pastor's problem child. Only after the end of the war could it be re-covered in three stages in 1955, 1956 and 1958.
The period from 1958 to date
Pastor Franz Auzinger had the tower clock and the bells electrified in 1960, a warm air heating system installed for the interior of the church in 1971 and a 70 square meter extension built on the north side in 1972, which was connected to the tower chapel and the church interior and set up as a penance zone according to architect Rudolf Schwarz .
The thorough interior renovation of the church carried out in 1973 took into account the liturgical reorganization according to the specifications of the Second Vatican Council , during which, with the consent of the Federal Monuments Office, the interior of the church was completely cleared and the neo-Gothic furnishings (including the altar and pulpit by Westreicher) were permanently removed. The renovation of the church building was completed in 1987 with an equally thorough exterior renovation.
The interior renovation in 1973
Execution only began after eight years of planning, in which five architects were involved. In terms of interior design, noble simplicity should be conveyed.
The triggering moment for the renovation were alarming wall cracks on the south wall and on the right-hand vault. The laying of the water pipe and the sewer along the southern church wall had enlarged the cracks, so that there was a need for action. The south-west corner of the church building had lost its hold due to the southern entrance door that was broken out in 1710 next to the choir staircase, where there is now an arched window. This is where the foundation was reinforced the most. On April 2, 1972, a stone weighing 1.75 kg detached itself from the southern parapet during the Easter celebration. Fortunately, no one was injured. However, some people left the church in panic.
First of all, the floor was provided with a massive substructure, and the building was thus stabilized from below. Then the central apse window and the gothic south portal walled up in 1710 were opened. The other windows in the lower area of the church made a uniform overall solution of the window question necessary. The graphic artist and painter, Prof. hc Rudolf Kolbitsch , Linz, (* 1922, † 2003), who had the reputation of being particularly good at dealing with space and light, designed the new church windows , with the interior consisting of two church rooms tied together optically into a unit and was able to give it an Easter radiant appearance.
The church interior was furnished with simple benches as a means of seating. The baptismal font from 1514 with a rococo lid (baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist, middle of the 18th century) was assigned the penance zone because the church fathers called penance the laborious baptism . With the installation of benches along the north and south walls in the front, light part of the church, comparable to the choir stalls in many churches, additional space was created for the faithful without the priest constantly turning his back on someone.
The altar stands after the renovation of the community no longer against, but still in her and the priest seat , the Community of him. In this way it was possible to overcome medieval level thinking, which provided for one level for the clergy, two for the princes and three for God. In the spirit of the Second Vatican Council and the society determined by the principle of equality, everyone stands on the same ground of human dignity and baptism, as do the public officials.
The ambo as the table of words and the altar as the table of bread were artistically designed in the same way. The altar was not intended to be a barrier, but to include the faithful equally on all four sides and was therefore designed to be square. In order to preserve the character of a table, it was kept free from everything and the candlesticks were shaped to stand on the floor. For the first time in the Diocese of Linz , the reliquary grave was not walled into a stone, but glued with a wooden panel. On the first Sunday of Advent in 1973, Diocesan Bishop Franz Salesius Zauner inaugurated the altar.
The stone and bronze tabernacle with the relief Agnus Dei was made by Peter Dimmel in 1973 and is now firmly attached to the building, like a sacrament niche. The Stations of the Cross picture wall (18th century) hang in the late Gothic style on the north-facing wall so that they can receive light from the southern windows.
The late Gothic Madonna (end of the 16th century), which had been re-Gothicized through a restoration, came from the tower chapel on the triumphal arch wall and the Johannes Nepomuk picture from the Calvary Church (2nd third of the 18th century) was the counterpart on the right Side attached.
The stairways were given wrought-iron bars. The door handles of the church are also noteworthy, because when you go to church you have something in your hand . The tympanum window above the main portal , which is the only one with a figurative design, represents the hymn of creation.
The church window
The windows of the church were manufactured in 1973 by the glass workshops in Schlierbach Abbey based on designs by Rudolf Kolbitsch and were thoroughly renovated in 2010. The aim of the redesign in 1973 was to make the interior look bright at Easter even on cloudy days. The yellow-tinted windows on the gallery in the nave contribute in particular to this. The Gothic vault is brightly lit and appears light and floating. Most of the windows are abstract. In contrast to this, the window above the west-facing main entrance is specifically designed using etching technology and shows the hymn of creation (Genesis 1-2,4).
The exterior renovation in 1987
A thorough overall renovation was urgently required because of the long time that had passed since the last work (tower in 1849 and church in 1930). The work was carried out from the end of March to mid-September 1987:
On the church building, the plaster was only completely removed on the gable and in the presbytery and plastered in the same way as the tower. All stone parts were sandblasted, cleaned and re-consolidated. The other outer walls on the south, west and north sides were only repaired and painted in a similarly light shade. All sheet metal on the church was also made of copper, for the first time snow guards and a weathercock installed above the presbytery . All four wooden church doors were freshened up and the front part of the church was insulated against moisture with roll gravel.
To improve the quality of the room, to protect against condensation, noise and cold, all the church windows were removed after only 13 years and reinstalled with double glazing, a painstaking detail.
The window sills of the six apse windows inside were rebuilt with a hidden water channel. When the external plaster was removed, it was surprisingly found that these windows originally extended a meter further below, thus expressing the dematerialization of the Gothic chapel space even more strongly.
The church roof, which was only erected in three stages from 1955 to 1958, was not renewed until later, in February 2000, as it was damaged in many places and endangered pedestrians in the immediate area of the church due to broken bricks. Church beaver, round cut in natural red, was used for the new roof.
The church tower renovation in 1987
In the northern corner of the choir, the very defensive church tower was built in 1480 , which was raised by one floor in 1528, supplemented with four small oriel turrets and provided with the frescoes rediscovered in 1987 during the exterior renovation of the tower. Initially, the tower had a low gable roof (with two crosses), which was replaced by a high pyramid roof in 1849 .
The church tower in its current form is 48 meters high, with 33 m on the masonry, 12 m on the roof and 3 m on the cross with the ball.
In 1987, the pastor Franz Auzinger carried out a thorough renovation of the church tower as part of the overall exterior renovation of the parish church.
After setting up a compact scaffolding, the very damaged tower cross was removed, the roof covered, and the roof structure was thoroughly repaired and lathed in weeks of work. All sheet metal parts were then processed in copper and the top of the tower was re-covered with plain tiles from Straubing .
The tower was crowned with a new cross made of stainless steel by the plumber Benito Zambelli from Sattledt , which was coated with copper and gilded. The sphere was also made of copper sheet, octagonal and with a profile around the middle. The building of the tower cross took place on Sunday , May 24, 1987 at 8 p.m.
The masonry of the tower should only be repaired at first, it turned out that the plaster was so rotten that it could only be completely removed. At the suggestion of the Federal Monuments Office, only pure lime mortar plaster was applied with yellow sand and then smoothed with a trowel.
The church bells
The church tower had four bells until the First World War , whereby the 12 and 11 bells listed below had to be removed on January 22, 1917 and delivered for war purposes:
- The 12 bell was originally cast by Johann Hageneder in Steyr in 1733 and had 12 hundredweight old. It burst during a funeral in 1854. Pastor Auer had the bell cast in Salzburg by the "formerly Gugg'sche bell foundry" and the weight increased to 15 hundredweight. The images of Saints Karl Borromeo, Jacob, Sebastian and Saint Mary and an inscription were attached to this bell (960 kg). The 11th bell from 1854 was also cast in Salzburg (Gugg). It weighed 11 hundredweight old and there were pictures of Saints Leopold, Florian, the Virgin Mary and an inscription on it (686 kg).
- The changing bell from 1430 was consecrated to the four evangelists and the three wise men and was originally preserved in the parish due to its ancient value. It is no longer available today (250 kg, diameter 78 cm) because it was sold to the Arbing parish in 1923 and has been serving on the Arbing church tower ever since. An attempt by Pastor Mayr to buy back the bell in 1935 was unsuccessful.
- The former death or train bell from 1520 is dedicated to Saints Sebastian and Rochus and was originally in the Sebastianikapelle in the old cemetery in Linzer Straße, initially hung on the church tower of Perg and was given away in 1923 (87 kg, diameter 49 cm ), its whereabouts are unknown.
In 1917 the bell of the Perger church tower was supplemented by a bell from the Perger Kalvarienbergkirche :
- Death bell with a weight of 87 kg, diameter 58 cm, tone h. The bell bears the inscription " Carl Poz poured me in Linz 1755". The pictures show the crucifix with Magdalena and the queen of heaven with baby Jesus. This bell continues to serve as a death bell.
In 1923 the peal of the Perger parish church was supplemented by four new steel bells:
- the Sankt Jakobsglocke (warrior bell) with a weight of 1634 kg, 150 cm diameter, tone d,
- the Marienglocke with a weight of 875 kg, 120 cm diameter, tone f sharp,
- the Sankt Josefsglocke with a weight of 538 kg, 100 cm diameter, tone a and
- the St. Michael's bell with 396 kg, 90 cm diameter, tone h.
The last four bells listed had to be delivered for war purposes during the Second World War. The later replacement bells, which are still on the tower today, are a total of 1,460 kg heavier.
The rediscovery of frescoes
The big surprise in the course of the church tower renovation in 1987 was the discovery of the frescoes on the east and south sides of the tower, which was raised in 1528.
On the east side on the right, the coat of arms of the Habsburg Ferdinand I (1503 to 1564) was visible, who after the unfortunate battle of Mohács (1526) against the Turks, in which his brother-in-law Ludwig II, King of Hungary and Bohemia , was killed. his successor was based on an inheritance contract.
Ferdinand had a special relationship with Linz , where he had married in 1521. Out of joy at this unexpected rise of their sovereign, the residents of Perg painted their coat of arms on top of each other twice on the tower, the Bohemian lion and the Hungarian stripe pattern. G. Kleinhans from the Federal Monuments Office called this a hurray patriotism.
On the south side, on the left, the very clearly recognizable Perger coat of arms, the unicorn standing on a mountain of three , was exposed and underneath the large writing tablet with Perg in the M. (M. for Machland ). In addition, some smaller signs and wreaths of leaves that could not be assigned.
Immediately under the oriel turrets, a small window frame in black lines and the valuable year 1528 in a framed field were uncovered. The fresco dials painted on the corners were from a later time, from 1708, the year of the church fire, and were still very well served. The restorer found an older layer underneath to the same extent. He is of the opinion that it is each a sundial from 1528.
In order not to cover any of the paintings, the clockwork of the tower clock has been moved back to its original position on these two sides . The diameter of these fresco dials is 3 meters, while the polyester dials on the opposite sides, as before, are only exactly 2 meters high.
The organs of the parish church of Perg
The organs from 1416 to 1983
In 1665 Georg Hagenauer, market judge , had a beautiful new organ made. From this it can be deduced that there was one before. There is no information about the builder or the condition of the instrument. The schoolmaster Richard Christoph Haimb worked from 1673 to 1677 and was expressly referred to as an organist for the first time . Presumably the organ was damaged or destroyed in the fire of 1708.
In 1828 a new organ built by Sebastian Schwarzmayr in Wippenham was purchased. About contracts, disposition, etc. there is nothing to be learned about this organ either. It was used until 1861.
Under pastor Carl Auer, an organ with 12 registers was built in Ybbs by organ builder Franz X. Meindl in 1862/63. It was set up on January 20, 1863 and approved on the same day by Anton Bruckner , then cathedral organist in Linz. The master did not want to please one tone of the work and he did not give up until the organ builder had corrected the mistake. As a result, Bruckner came to Perg more often and played the organ there, which was one of his favorite instruments. The organ is one of the organs that Bruckner played. The organ was repaired and tuned by its builder in 1875.
In 1884 Anton Bruckner dedicated a small courtesy composition to the Perger leather master and organist Karl Diernhofer, with whom he was friendly, the organ composition Perger Prelude in C major (catalog raisonné Anton Bruckner No. 129). The city of Perg honored the friendship and, moreover, family ties of the artist to Perg with a plaque in Herrenstrasse.
In 1903 the organ was cleaned and repaired by the organ builder Breinbauer in Ottensheim. Although Pastor Johann Ev. Stauchner already purchased a new organ for the interior renovation from 1911, but from pencil inscriptions that came to light when the old organ was dismantled in 1983, it can be determined that repairs and replacements took place in 1917, 1941, 1950 and 1973.

The acquisition of the new organ in 1983
The new organ was inaugurated on March 23, 1983 by Diocesan Bishop Maximilian Aichern .
The overall planning and execution of the new organ was carried out by Upper Austria. Orgelbauanstalt GmbH St. Florian. Organ builders were Wilhelm Zika and Helmut Kögler. The disposition of the organ was made by Augustinus Franz Kropfreiter and Harald Rüdiger Ehrl, St. Florian's Priory , after a design by Hermann Kronsteiner, Linz. The disposition meets artistic requirements to a high degree and promises noble sound volume, rich colors and festive shine.
After the submission of unsatisfactory designs for the organ case by various organ building companies, those responsible decided to create the organ prospectus in cooperation with a sculptor or architect . With Hannes Hasle thickeners , academic sculptor from Steyregg , a suitable artist was found. Its simple design took into account the lines of the late Gothic church interior and the spatial relationships on the gallery. The new organ was given the appearance of a Gothic winged altar with a slender base as a substructure and two wide-reaching wings for the main part of the organ. The artist, who plays the violin himself , saw the organ case to be planned primarily as a musical instrument with a case that was as closed as possible and that emitted well into the church. The housing was made of solid oak and stained dark. The prospectus itself looks very calm. Since the essence of a pipe organ is made up of the pipes, he only placed these in a well-ordered manner in the prospectus, four strong wooden pipes on both sides and then 40 pewter pipes. The small ones in the middle indicate the breastwork behind with slightly higher set labia. Ornaments such as veil boards could be dispensed with, since the organ is built on the finely structured stone parapet in front of the room, which encloses the main nave like a gallery on three sides.
The organ has a total of 23 registers , ten in the main section, nine in the chest section and four in the pedal section, as well as the corresponding couplings and thresholds. The total number of pipes is 1516, of which 1276 are metal pipes, 98 are wooden pipes and 142 are reed pipes.
