Tannerl Chapel

The Tannerl pilgrimage church is a 17th century chapel dedicated to the Scourged Savior , in the middle of the Thurn-und-Taxis- Forest in the Falkenstein market in the Cham district .

The pilgrimage to the Scourged Savior originated in the late 17th century, when numerous believers made a pilgrimage to a miraculous image hung on a fir tree .

history

Around 1685 a woman from Falkenstein discovered a miraculous image behind the stove with her relative, the bricklayer Bernhard Fleischmann, who lived in Wörth on the Danube . It was an old Ecce Homo breast picture. The woman warned the owner to hang this picture on a public path for worship. So he made his way to Falkenstein. In the vicinity of the then still existing Pönnhof he hangs the image of grace on a small fir tree. This is how the pilgrimage for “devotion to and adoration of God began with this Ecce homo image”.

With the help of donations, a small wooden chapel with an altar was built in 1694 to keep the picture. In 1729 the stone chapel was built. In addition to the pilgrimage chapel, there was also a farm that belonged to the Count of Toerring . A bloody event took place in the farm in April 1809. Six soldiers from the French army under Napoleon wanted to rob the then tenant Georg Pohmann. But Pohmann resisted and stabbed all six intruders. On August 4, 1905, the wasteland burned down and was no longer rebuilt. Only the small pilgrimage church of the Scourged Savior remained. Over the years the chapel has become dilapidated and was renovated in 1949 by Pastor Hofstetter.

In the choir altar is the figure of grace, a half-figure of the painful Savior. The small wooden figure dates from the 17th century. It is popularly called "Our Lord of the Tannerl". On both sides of the altar there are baroque figures of St. Joachim and St. Anna . In 1988 the pilgrimage church was renovated inside and out by the parish of Arrach. The parishioners made the renovation possible through donations and voluntary work. Since the renovation, there is also a figure of the Mother of God in the pilgrimage chapel . It was made available on loan from the parish of Rettenbach . The Princely House of Thurn and Taxis had the large cross renovated in 1988.
