Schönenbüel-Kapelle
St. Barbara (4 December)
Small prayer house quite inconspicuous in front of a gaden on the village side on Obere Hirschbergstrasse.
It is a simple, wooden prayer house with a tiled roof without a roof attachment. This is probably the smallest chapel in Innsbruck with the basic dimensions of 1.9 x 1.9 m. Inside there is a brightly painted altar structure in the style of Empire and Late Renaissance. The door dates from the early century with diamond-plated fields and an opening studded with plastic balusters. In the chapel rises the over two hundred year old painting of St. Barbara in rural rococo painting. In front of it is a vanitas relief with a sleeping turkey figure, which was created around 1600 by sculptor Risse from Wil. The vaulted panelled ceiling is strongly sloped on both sides; the floor is also made of wood. The chapel is closed.
History
On the basis of a gift of 50 guilders, the chapel must have been donated by Magdalena Speck before 1764. From the legacy, four Holy Masses are to be read annually from the interest for the donor. However, if the chapel should be dilapidated, the interest must be used for this. In 1973, the chapel received a new tiled roof. In 1975, it was completely refreshed on the outside.
