Here, a committed young pastor from Winterthur takes care of the spiritual well-being of three autonomous congregations. With loving devotion, he is responsible for the Protestant church of Samnaun as well as for the five churches of Valsot, namely Tschlin, Ramosch, Vnà, Strada and Martina.
Description
His words are heard twice a month in Ramosch, twice in Tschlin, and the evenings alternate between Strada, Martina and Vnà. However, church services, once well attended, have recently experienced a major decline.
Donna Lupa
A fascinating symbolic figure. In 1949, the Tyroleans took notice. Donna Lupa cooked for people who were at a funeral in the church. Asked for whom she cooked, she answered courageously for the Engadiners, who were to arrive soon. The Tyroleans, frightened, withdrew, and Donna Lupa warned the congregation in the church. A symbol of emigration and determined resistance.
Restoration
50 years ago, the church was extensively restored. A restorer from Munich devoted himself to the frescoes, but 15 years ago a Swiss man dared to tackle the not so easy task again. The church of San Plasch, named after the martyr Blaise, not only hides historical secrets, but is also used annually for a concert with the mixed choir at Christmas and for a concert with the music society on New Year's Eve.
Interments
Funerals in Tschlin are unique. Every deceased person is honoured by the Tschlin Choir. Singing at the grave is a tradition that only exists here and shows the depth of the community. The choir sings a song from the Koral, which is requested by the suffering family.
Reformation
In 1670, Pastor Campell introduced the Reformation in the Engadine, which is now largely Reformed. Samnaun, Dorf Müstair and Tarasp, however, continue to hold on to the Catholic tradition. Pastor Campell thus initiated a historical change that can still be felt today.
