The Roman Catholic pilgrimage church of the Holy Trinity is located in the hamlet of Dreifaltigkeitsberg in the Rimbach district of the municipality of Moosthenning in the Lower Bavarian district of Dingolfing-Landau . The patronage festival of the pilgrimage church is celebrated on Trinity Sunday, the first Sunday after Pentecost . The square between the church and the neighboring restaurant is open for two days (Saturday and Sunday). In addition, Pentecost is traditionally celebrated with a solemn triduum.
location
The pilgrimage church is located on the Dreifaltigkeitsberg ( 469 m above sea level ), which is one of the highest points in the vicinity. The church is located around 100 meters above the Isar Valley, which is only 1.5 kilometers away . It is located on State Road 2141 , which connects Landshut to Straubing . It is around 2.5 kilometers to Trinity Mountain from Weng and around 6.5 kilometers from Mengkofen .
history
An old inscription tells us about the origins of the pilgrimage : In the forest next to Rimbach there was only a badly papered HH on a damp tree ( spruce ) for several years . Trinity Image; bit instead in the year 1687 Mr. Georg Stiller, Closter-Richter zu Nidern-Viebach ( Monastery Niederviehbach ) and Hof-Marchs-Administrator ( Hofmarksverwalter ) von Hofdorf (while in Nacher Hauß-Reitten he got lost three times and was taken three times to the aforementioned damps ) because of vows that have been made, a taffel (so now the image of grace is) had it ground and hung up .
The mentioned image of grace is considered to be the trigger for the pilgrimage to this place. In 1689 it was framed by a wooden shed, and a wooden chapel was built the following year . This was replaced by a brick church only a year or two later. Due to the willingness of the population to make sacrifices, it was soon possible to build a larger pilgrimage church. The construction of this baroque church, which still exists today, began in 1693, but the work dragged on over several decades. The builder is the Dingolfing city mason Georg Weigenthaler. On June 13, 1714, the church was consecrated by the Regensburg auxiliary bishop Albert Ernst von Wartenberg . At this point in time, most of the construction work should have been completed. However, the tower was not completed until 1739 and had to be rebuilt by the Landshut court mason Felix Hirschstötter after it was destroyed as a result of a severe storm in 1770.
Shortly after the pilgrimage church's centenary, which was celebrated in 1816, three men from Weng and Oberköllnbach founded a Messbund brotherhood that still exists today . This was approved by the pastor in 1824 and pardoned. Since then, a service for the Messbund has been held on the Trinity Mountain every last Sunday of the month . Around the same time, the beneficiary Wiesbeck von Marklkofen , a native of Rimbach , donated a Eucharistic Triduum for Pentecost , which is also celebrated to this day. After a cooperator from the parish of Hofdorf had previously provided pastoral care to the pilgrims, there was a separate pastoral care center on the Trinity Mountain from the elevation to the exposition in 1877 until 1964. Since then, the church has been looked after from Dornwang and Ottering . The Expositurkirche Dreifaltigkeitsberg belonged with the branch churches St. Nikolaus in Rimbach and St. Wolfgang in Ottering to the parish of Hofdorf until 2001 . In 2001, however, the Expositur was incorporated into the parish of Ottering - but without Ottending, which remained in the parish of Hofdorf.
architecture
.jpg)
The pilgrimage church is a spacious three-bay hall church with a slightly drawn-in, two- bay east choir with a three-sided end. What is striking is the very thick masonry of the church, measuring 1.38 meters. A stately, three-storey onion dome is built over a square floor plan on the west side . Access to the interior of the church is through the lower tower floor, which used to be used as a bell house . On the north side in the rear area of the church there is a small chapel which contains a figure of the scourged Savior. Inside and outside, the yoke is structured by flat pilasters . In the interior, the belt arches of the needle cap barrel , which spans the church, arise from these . The church is sparingly stuccoed and, apart from a few color elements, not painted. During renovation work, however, remnants of church painting work could be detected. These probably come from the church painter Kainz from Pfaffenberg , who painted the church in 1894 in neo-baroque style with motifs from the Lauretan litany . However, these were removed again in the 20th century.
Dimensions
- Inner nave (length × width): 20.00 × 11.00 meters
- Inside choir room (length × width): 13.60 × 9.70 meters
- Total length inside: 41.90 meters (including 7.25 meters anteroom on the tower ground floor)
Furnishing
Altars
The east-facing hall church has three four-column altars from the time the church was built, which are decorated with rich acanthus carvings. The high altar was probably built in 1698, as was the altar sheet painted by Felix Finkenzeller from Landshut. This shows the coronation of Mary by the Holy Trinity . In the lower part of the picture a pilgrimage from the town of Dingolfing to the Trinity Mountain is shown. The altar panel is flanked by life-size figures of Moses and St. Paul . Above the tabernacle framed by the figures of angels in the early Rococo style is the miraculous image from 1687. Despite its small dimensions, it stands out because of the surrounding halo of clouds. The coronation of Mary by the Holy Trinity can also be seen on it. The upper end is a Jesus monogram IHS, from which a halo emanates. This is flanked by putti and figures of Saints Joachim (left) and Anna (right).
The two identically constructed side altars on both sides of the choir arch came to the pilgrimage church in 1720. They were created by the painter Johann Georg Heigl and the carpenter Franz Perger, both from Dingolfing. Above one of the altar leaves flanked by two pairs of columns there is an extract picture framed by acanthus carvings . The north (left) side altar shows the diocesan patron Wolfgang in the main picture and St. Joseph with the baby Jesus in the extract . The southern (right) side altar has a main picture depicting St. John Nepomuk and an extract of St. Dominic as the patron of the rosary .
Other equipment
The acanthus- cheeked stalls and the rococo pulpit on the north side , crowned by a figure of the “ Good Shepherd ” on the sound cover, are from the middle of the 18th century . The latter originally comes from the church of St. Leonhard in Hagenau (parish Hofdorf) and was no longer needed there in the course of a neo-Gothic redesign. The crucifixion group attached to the south wall opposite is also assigned to the Rococo style . It is a crucifix with a larger than life body and a Mater Dolorosa representation. Also noteworthy are the artistic door lock by the Dingolfing locksmith Johann Penz at the southern entrance to the sacristy from 1711 and the numerous votive pictures - including a picture from 1714 on the southern side wall showing ten Scottish clerics . This can be explained by the fact that the parish Hofdorf was previously incorporated into the Schottenkloster in Regensburg. Some commemorative plaques can also be seen in the church from the surrounding parishes, which regularly go on prayers, processions and pilgrimages to the Trinity Mountain. To mark the 300th anniversary of the pilgrimage church in 2014, a modern baptismal font made of Danube limestone and bronze was set up by the Dingolfing sculptor Jutta Wimmer.
organ
On the organ gallery in the rear area of the nave there is an artfully designed, three-part prospectus , which is stylistically at the transition from Rococo to Classicism . This should originally come from Ponholz in the Upper Palatinate . In 1924 Michael Weise from Plattling installed an organ work with a total of nine registers on two manuals and pedal in the following disposition :
|
|
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
- Pairing : II / I, II / P, I / P, Super II / I, Sub II / I
This organ work is no longer preserved today. Instead, there is an electronic organ in the historical prospectus . Behind the no longer played prospectus pipes are four large loudspeaker boxes that adequately fill the church with sound . The side mounted playing table is constructed similar to a pipe organ. The disposition is also similar to that of a pipe organ.
