Tips from the Community
St. Martin's Parish Church The history of the parish dates back to the Middle Ages. The first record of such a church is from 1297, but a church certainly existed in Untertraubenbach around the year 1000. This former parish church was destroyed in the Thirty Years' War and subsequently rebuilt on the site of the also-destroyed castle. According to the date inscribed on the west gate, this was in 1719. On Maundy Thursday in 1813, a fire broke out, destroying most of the central and outer parts of the village, including the parish church. Reconstruction began just one year later. Until the 20th century, St. Martin's Parish experienced the turbulent events of history, even suffering the effects of World War II. Renovations were necessary time and again, the most recent taking place in 2002/2003. In 2009, the bell tower was expanded to include two additional bells. Upon entering the church, one is struck by its deliberate simplicity. A simple nave with an adjoining chancel is only enlivened by wall piers, giving the interior an almost medieval character. A barrel vault spans the entire nave. At the center of the chancel stands the high altar, framed by two altar guardians, St. Florian and St. Sebastian. This is a neo-Baroque work from around 1900. At the center is a festively framed painting of Mary, which was brought to Untertraubenbach from the pilgrimage chapel of Streicherröhren in 1718, as it was no longer considered safe there. It is a beautiful copy of the Passau Maria-Hilf painting, which is based on the original by Lucas Cranach. The patron saint of the church, St. Martin, is depicted in the altarpiece. On both sides of the sanctuary are beautifully carved choir stalls, adorned with charming ornamental carvings. Inside the nave, the wooden pulpit is a striking feature. It is a simple piece of woodwork depicting the four Evangelists and the Good Shepherd. The stained-glass windows show St. Michael and John the Baptist on the left and St. Barbara and Thérèse of Lisieux on the right.
