The chapel bauverein Breitbrunn inaugurated in the village there is a Stele in honor of Francis of Assisi. It was designed by a broad Brunner artist.
Breitbrunn – With Abbot Notker Wolf and Dr. Georg Denzler of the chapel bauverein has been able to win breitbrunn, two Emeriti, to dedicate a Stele in honor of St. Francis of Assisi. A place of Reflection now also in the sub-village of the Lord chinger district.
With the Stele in a place with oak trees, a bench and the views of the Ammersee everyone “you can about the wonderful canticle to think about the creation of nature”. Hans Greimel, Chairman of the chapel bauverein wanted. As reported, the 78-Year-old the idea for this Stele in this place. Together with the wide-Brunner, Church historian Denzler (90) – both in friendship closely connected – has been implemented finally. Denzler reminded strolled brunnern in the summer evening atmosphere on Saturday in front of a large round Wide to the Holy, while the other after the completion of your sun bath with the kids and Stand-up-paddle-Boards of the congregation pass from the lake to home.
To the entirely different relation of St. Francis to nature and the praise and song, the “canticle of the sun,” said Denzler with all the more force in the voice.
wide-Brunner artist Marianne Schweigler expresses all of this with the tuff stone Stele. On the Tuff of the mendicant monk with a bird in the Hand and his sun are shown singing with earth, Wind, moon, fire, water and death. Everything was implemented with great attention to Detail. Even the tufa, not from Breitbrunn, but certainly a good reference. The Greimel sure, after all, the name of the town to running water. In fact, tuff prior to coming to broad Brunner hallway even.
Abbot Notker Wolf called Pope Francis a model for the whole of the Occident, of Christian poverty. The Benedictine monk, the next weekend its 80. Celebrates birthday, is connected with the wide brunnern since the construction of the Europe chapel closely. He had supported the club at that time and is since then a member, to be invited like a guest to the Board meetings.
That it is of his home monastery of St. Ottilien, a stone’s throw, was demonstrated by the agile monk immediately. He had quoted an incorrect time and drove off in St. Ottilien, as a pastor Simon Rapp welcomed the guests. To the consecration of the Emeritus was still on time and also for the weather blessing, with which he wished the wide brunnern, you lightning, hail, and every evil will stay away. In fact, the County, and thus breitbrunn of the storms of night, noticed only a little.
The club that has made the Stele and the Meeting is possible, there are already for 25 years. With the Francis Stele, the members now serve 15 objects on wide-Brunner hall. You make sure to renovate this, as currently the roof of Europe, a chapel, and to entertain. The Stele in the value of 10 000 Euro was financed solely from donations. 2000 Euro contributed by the municipality of Herrsching to the mayor Christian Schiller style attended real in leather pants of the consecration, and rejoiced over “the right place, here we have chosen”. The passing returnees from the lake could not illustrate better: The pandemic have proved to the residents of the five lakes country, “That it is missing to us at nothing.” Schiller said that it’s not too bad, “if each of us takes a little bit of Francis”.
