Pürgg, Gedeckter Übergang / Covered footbridge

            Eine Besonderheit der dem Hl. Georg gewidmeten Pfarrkirche in Pürgg ist der allseitig mit Holz vollständig gedeckte Übergang vom Pfarrhaus in die Kirche, die er an ihrer Nordseite in Höhe der Empore erreicht. Ich vermute, dass einer der Pfarrer vor Jahrhunderten aufgrund der damals in dieser alpinen Gegend  und auf der Höhe von Pürgg üblichen meterhohen Schneefälle im Winter diesen Übergang errichten ließ, um trockenen Fusses und vor Allem unversehrt und rechtzeitig zu den Messen in der Kirche ankommen zu können.

A special feature of the parish church in Pürgg, which is dedicated to St. George, is the footbridge from the rectory into the church, which is covered totally on all sides with wood and reaches the church on its north side at the height of the gallery. I assume that centuries ago one of the parish priests had this passage built because of the metres of snow that were common in this alpine region and at the height of Pürgg in order to be able to arrive at the church dry-footed and, above all, unharmed and in time for mass.
