Unterjoch is a district of the market Bad Hindelang with about 350 inhabitants, which is at an altitude of 1013 m above sea level. Today it is shaped by tourism .

history

The first evidence of the existence of the place comes from the year 1471. In 1690 the Hindelang branch chapel in Unterjoch received the permission to perform , in 1726 a manual chaplaincy was set up and since 1868 the place has had its own parish . After salt traffic over the pass finally came to a standstill in 1823, there was no longer any extensive contact between Unterjoch and other localities. This changed with the construction of the new Jochstraße from 1895 to 1900, which also stimulated tourism. The proximity of the border with Austria also meant that the customs office was relocated from Oberjoch to Unterjoch.

The community Unterjoch was newly formed on January 4, 1867 from areas of the Hindelang community and reintegrated on April 1, 1972.

At the end of the school year on July 29, 2014, the dwarf school in Unterjoch was closed; From the following school year, first to fourth graders attend the dwarf school in Jungholz, Austria . The school building still houses the local kindergarten.

Culture and sights

Churches, chapels and wayside shrines

The Holy Trinity Parish Church

The parish church of the Holy Trinity, a plastered broken stone building with a saddle roof, has a late Gothic roof construction on the east side, but is essentially baroque: a chapel existed as early as 1680; the altar shows the year 1673. This chapel, however, was not yet consecrated when the permit was granted. In 1820 it was extended to the church by adding a yoke on the west side, at which time it also received new windows. In 1843 it was enriched by a sign and received new altars. In 1845 it was consecrated to the church by Bishop Peter von Richarz and a new cemetery was built. In 1870 the sacristy and tower were rebuilt. In 1910 the building was again extended to the west, and in 1925 the sign was renewed.

The plastered ceiling has a flat arched barrel vault . Today there is a fresco with the holy family in the nave. It comes from J. Huwyler, who in 1911 removed the neo-Gothic wall decorations that had existed up to that point. In the choir you can see the allegories of faith, hope and love, works by Franz Osterried from 1843. On the high altar there is a group of the Holy Trinity carved by the hands or the school of Johann Georg Bschorer . The pulpit dates from 1843 and is decorated with paintings of the evangelists. The first version of these pictures was by Johann Baptist Müller , but it was replaced by paintings by Huwyler during the 1911 redesign. Franz Osterried's oil paintings of the Stations of the Cross were also heavily modified in 1911.

The marbled baptismal font with a dove of the Holy Spirit on the lid dates from 1846. Apart from a few early classicist benches in the gallery, the stalls were from the renovation in 1911. Wendelin Matt designed the tabernacle decorations and the Pietà of the altar cross by Ludwig Huber from Oberammergau.

The sculptures of the Archangels Michael and Gabriel as well as St. Alexander and Georg by Michael Beisch date from the high baroque era. The dungeon Christ from the workshops of Melchior Eberhard in Hindelang was probably created around 1750.

The church today has three bells that form a major chord.

At the Steineberg, two wayside shrines from the late 19th century are a reminder of the concerns of a local resident for their descendants.

Also on the Steineberg is the Anna Chapel from 1877, which was built on the basis of a vow - here, too, the builders wanted viable offspring. The chapel was renovated and blessed in 2007.

In the district of Krummenbach there is the Trinity Chapel from 1799, which was built in thanks for the fact that the place was spared from plundering Napoleonic troops. One of the bells that originally belonged to the Unterjocher parish churches hangs in this chapel. It has a neo-Gothic altar; the two side figures - a John the Baptist and a Saint Ulrich - date from the middle of the 15th century. A votive picture from 1680 shows the coronation of Mary in combination with a herd of cows.

The Marienkapelle bei Hotzen from 1875 goes back to a vow made by a farmer who wanted children capable of survival.

The Lohwies Chapel, which was consecrated in 2002, is located near the eastern entrance to Unterjoch. It contains a statue of the Sorrowful Mother of God.

The Chapel of the Assumption of Mary in the Untergschwend district was built from stones that were left during a large mudslide. On a wooden plaque above the entrance is the inscription: This chapel is owned by Joh. Georg / Hehl. in year 1838. in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary a. her / divine Of the Son of Jesus Christ. There are stucco rosettes in the ship. The altarpiece from 1837 shows the Assumption of the Virgin. In 1996 the chapel, which is not open to the public, was renovated.

Other structures

In front of the morgue of the cemetery is an early Classicist crucifix, possibly by Johann Richard Eberhard (1734–1813).

At the bridge over the Wertach at the western end of the village, the sculpture of St. John Nepomuk can be seen on the gable of a barn .

House No. 2 - the Gasthaus zum Zinken - is a late baroque farmhouse. It has a central stable and a shingled living area.
