Tourist Attractions
Rottenbuch monastery
A first cell made up of hermits is believed to date back to the 10th century; the monastery was consecrated as a monastery by the Augustinian Canons around 1073 by Duke Welf I of Bavaria. Rottenbuch was a papal monastery and im Investiture Controversy (1076 - 1122) the Popes with Henry IV. A place of refuge for those who were loyal to the Pope in the Empire.
In addition, the monastery achieved its first heyday in the 12th century and was of great importance as a mother monastery and for the reforming of the monastery communities at that time, including the Rottenbuch reform circle Prince Provost Berchtesgaden and the Dießen Monastery, the construction of the Romanesque basilica is classified in the period around 1085 - 1125.
Political circumstances, fires in 1262 and 1322, an attack by the Tyroleans in 1413 and the collapse of the church tower in 1417 indicate the decline of the monastery; it recovered in the 15th century, but then experienced the general decline in the peasant wars in the 16th century and in the Thirty Years War (1618-1648).
In the baroque period the ascent took place again, the monastery church was redesigned in baroque style, from 1750 the monastery complex was greatly expanded.
With the exception of the church, the monastery complex was built in a comparatively unadorned form; The reason for this was that the monastery convent consisted of up to 40 canons and employed over 100 people in the factories, but these mostly older and pensionable workers were mainly employed from a social point of view as pension recipients.
During the secularization in 1803, the monastery was closed and the workers fired. A manufacturer bought most of the buildings for demolition, only the church and a few outbuildings could be saved. The monastery library was housed in the paper mill. In 1963, the Don Bosco sisters took over the buildings that had been preserved.
Collegiate church
The collegiate church "Virgin Mary's Birth" was built as a Romanesque three-aisled basilica with transept and western vestibule in the 11th century; it was expanded in the late Gothic period and provided with a stone cross-ribbed vault. From this period (1483) there is still the figure of Our Lady (preserved in the left side altar, a work of the master) Erasmus Grasser.
The 67 m high and free-standing tower as a campanile dates from 1439 and is the landmark for the monastery and the place.
From 1737 to 1750 the church was dated Wessobrunn plasterer and builder Joseph Schmuzer and son Franz Xaver in Baroque style. The 25 main frescoes and the secondary frescoes are from Mathias Günther, they show the life story of St. Augustine and are considered a high point of the Rococo.
Altars and pulpit are from Franz Xaver Schmädl, the angels in Rottenbuch are particularly vital and happy. The organ prospectus also comes from Franz Xaver Schmädl, the prospectus is counted among the most beautiful and closed rococo ensembles in Bavaria.
