Pilgrimage Church of the Name of Mary

As early as 1382, there was a small church “To Our Lady” in Trautmannshofen, which belonged to the Litzlohe provost, but its origins probably go back further. The pilgrimage church was built between 1686 and 1691 based on a design by Leonhard Dientzenhofer. The construction, however, was in the hands of two older brothers Georg and Wolfgang Dientzenhofer. What is certain is that the tower of a previous medieval building was integrated into the new building.

The high altar with a high baroque style was made in 1689, based on a design by the Jesuit brother Johannes Hörmann, by Erhard Wirsching from Neumarkt, who was one of the most sought-after sculptors and carpenters in the region. In front of the winding columns entwined with vine leaves stand the two almost life-size, artistically very appealing figures of Mary's parents Joachim and Anna with the baby Jesus. The altarpiece shows the Assumption of Mary into heaven and was created in 1874 by the Augsburg painter Caspar Wiederhut, replacing the previous picture from 1691. Wiederhut also made the extract painting with God the Father, who is framed by two angel figures with palm branches.

The two side altars follow the high altar in concept and show rich sculptural figural decorations of angels and cloud formations around heart-shaped glass shrines in the main zone. While a statue of the Sacred Heart was inserted on the left, the miraculous image of the Trautmannshofen pilgrimage was placed on the right. Mary holds the baby Jesus in her arms; Both figures wear textile clothing with metal hearts in front of their chests and crowns on their heads. The miraculous image is venerated locally as the intact Mother of God with baby Jesus, which has come down from the Middle Ages.

The four smaller altars in the chapels each have a statue of the All Saints Mary as Immaculate Conception, Joseph, John of Nepomuk and Anthony of Padua) in a shell-crowned niche and flanked by round or twisted columns; The extract is decorated with two angels and acanthus tendrils.

The ceiling paintings are the work of the Auerbach artist Johann Michael Wild, the main painting shows the Trautmannshofen pilgrimage history.
