Stephanskirchen is a village in the municipality of Bad Endorf with around 25 inhabitants. For the surrounding villages and especially for Hemhof , Stephanskirchen is important as a church and school location (partial elementary school).
geography

history
Early history
The Roman road between Salzburg and Augsburg , Via Julia , ran north of the village .
middle Ages
Stephanskirchen is mentioned for the first time in 1120. The place is also mentioned several times in the Codex Falkensteinensis . The church is first mentioned in 1360. The name "Stephanskirchen" and the hillside location on Römerstrasse, however, suggest a long history before this time. In terms of church law, Stephanskirchen belonged to the parish Eggstätt .
Modern times
Stephanskirchen was subordinate to the Kling nursing court , after 1803 to the court in Trostberg , then to the regional court in Prien . Since 1818 the village belonged to the Hemhof community. In the course of the regional reform , this was incorporated into the community of Endorf in 1978 .
The church had different legal statuses and from about 1600 until the secularization in 1803 was under the Augustinian canons of Chiemsee. After the church belonged again to the Eggstätt parish , it was added to the Endorf parish in 1978 ; initially as a curate community , then in a parish association .
Since 1876, Stephanskirchen has been important not only as a church but also as a school location.
Attractions
church
A Stephen - patronage , which appears in the name of the village, had only a small chapel. The previous building from the 15th century, which was replaced by today's church, already had a patronage of Rupert and Laurentius . The former refers to a connection with the Archdiocese of Salzburg .
In the 1890s, the old church was torn down and the new building began according to plans by the Hemhof master carpenter Augustin Mitterer and the Munich architect Joseph Elsner . The building in neo-Gothic style was consecrated in 1906.
In November 1944, the church was hit by an aerial bomb. The tower and the back of the nave collapsed. The reconstruction took place in the first post-war years according to plans by the Munich architect Friedrich Haindl .
The neo-Gothic furnishings (including the high altar , side altars and pulpit ) were designed by Joseph Elsner . Extensive interior and exterior renovation took place in the 1980s. Among other things, Solnhofer tiles were laid and a peace column was erected south of the church. The metal work of the Rosenheim sculptor Josef Hamberger (including the folk altar , ambo , sedilia ) is still influential today .
Mojerwirt
The listed former inn and the associated separate Bundwerkstadel from the first half of the 19th century are well worth seeing .
view
In particular, from the cemetery around the church, there is a beautiful view of Hemhof and the Kampenwand and the mountains next to it.
