history

Horse statue on the outskirts

A Roman fibula of the god Mars was found near Demling in 2001. Two Roman tombstones are set into the outside wall of the church.

The place is likely to have originated in the course of the Bavarian conquest from 500 AD as a family settlement of a Tomalo. In 820/21 Sigfrid, Abbot of Engelbrechtsmünster , handed over his property in “Tomalingun” to the Regensburg monastery of St. Emmeram. In 1271 there is a document of "Tömlingen", 1544 of "Temling" and 1559 of "Tömling". In 1417 the village was already referred to as "Dembling". The village was burned down in 1504 during the War of the Bavarian Succession . In 1752 Demling consisted of 48 properties, which had to make landlord donations to the University of Ingolstadt , the Upper Parish of Ingolstadt, the Katharinenspital Regensburg, the Sankt Walburg Eichstätt Monastery , the Hofmark Münchsmünster , the Hofmark Biburg and the Kastenamt Vohburg ; There was little farm ownership. A school was founded in 1813, and a new schoolhouse was built in the south of the church in 1859.

Land consolidation was carried out from 1954 to 1959 . A community kindergarten has existed in the former schoolhouse since 1970. In 1983 the village of 356 inhabitants consisted of 13 full-time farms and 15 part-time farms as well as an inn.

From 1818 an independent municipality and belonging to the district of Ingolstadt , Demling joined Großmehring on May 1, 1978 as part of the regional reform in Bavaria . The last mayor, Martin Mayer, died in 2010.

Church in Demling

Only a few traces of a previous Romanesque church have survived in the tower and apse area . In 1650 the church "completely collapsed" and was rebuilt four years later. The present church is mostly from 1850; only the presbytery remained from the previous church. The baroque altars (18th century; the side altars with two pillars, the high altar with four pillars) come from the “academ. Mahler “ Melchior Puchner from Ingolstadt. The altarpieces were painted in 1957 by Georg Gschwendtner from Freilassing . Before 1749 the figures of St. Sebastian left and St. Rochus on the right above the passages next to the main altar. - In 1775 the sacristy was added. In 1873 the dome of the square tower was replaced by a pyramid with four gables. In 1897 the painter M. Hafner created a ceiling painting depicting the baptism of Christ. A crucifix with a Mater Dolorosa from around 1740 on the southern inner wall was probably made by Wolfgang Gächenberger .

Erlachhof

East side of Gut Erlachhof

The Erlachhof ("Erlhof" near Michael Wening ) is located in the Demling district on the site of a noble residence ( Erlhof Castle ) of the Erlach family, first mentioned in 1280 (and extinct in 1510). In 1331 the property became a court marque with lower jurisdiction , whose civil and aristocratic owners frequently changed. The freedom of the Hofmarks was later repeatedly confirmed. In 1670 the court came into possession of the secular priestly association of the Bartholomeans. During the secularization , the Erlachhof came into the possession of the Bavarian state in 1803, which first handed it over to the Anabaptists , then sold it to the Großmehring brewer Lorenz Weinzierl (from 1819 member of the Bavarian Estates' Assembly in Munich). The current building was rebuilt as a four-sided courtyard by the landlord Weinzierl after a fire on December 26, 1868. The palace chapel, consecrated in 1830, is dedicated to St. Consecrated to Joseph. In 1890 the Nuremberg merchant CH Nold took over the farm with its 162 hectares of fields, meadows and forests, which under him became a model agricultural estate. After the war over 100 people lived on the farm. In 1960 Otto Nold sold the farm to Shell AG .

As a result, the moat was filled in and the pavilion, the mill house and the west side of the Erlachhof were demolished. From 1962/63 a Shell refinery was operated here (and partly in neighboring areas) , which was given up in 1973 with the oil crisis . In 1983 seven people lived on the farm. Attempts to convert the site into an amusement park failed. In 1988, the former Shell site was sold to Terreno, which built Germany’s largest interconnected business park, Interpark , on the property .

Demlingen quarry

The Demlingen quarry natural monument
Reef dolomite of the Malm

The Demlinger Bruch, also called "Königsbruch" and mentioned as early as 1426, provided, among other things, material for the construction of the renaissance fortress of Ingolstadt. In 1820 296 people worked here. The quarry has grown over today and has been a natural monument since 1932 and 1950 because of its flora . It occasionally serves as a backdrop for open-air games and is a popular destination for excursions. In the quarry, fossil-rich reef dolomites and reef rubble limestone of the Malm Zeta 3-4 are exposed.
