location
Ebrantshausen is located in the Hallertau , the largest contiguous hop growing area in the world, about three kilometers northwest of Mainburg.
history
The legend tells of the blessed Heinrich von Ebrantshausen , who after a pilgrimage to the Holy Land lived here as a pious hermit for forty years without saying a word. Because the team of oxen with their corpses stopped in front of the village church, Heinrich was buried here and a chapel was built next to the grave. Heinrich became a popular saint , on whose memorial day the "Heinrichszeltl" are offered for sale as medicine for the cattle in exchange with victims.
The first documentary evidence of Ebrantshausen can be found in 1403 in the land register of the Münchsmünster monastery . It was the seat of a Hofmark and a benefit. The patrimonial Ebrantshausen community in the Abensberg district court emerged from the Ebrantshausen tax district and later belonged to the Mainburg District Office and the Mainburg District . The community used to be called Ebertshausen . In 1865 it was officially renamed Ebrantshausen . It was incorporated into the city of Mainburg on January 1, 1972 as part of the municipal reform. Ebrantshausen belongs to the parish of Lindkirchen .
Pilgrimage church to the blessed Heinrich
The village church of Ebrantshausen is a landmark in the hill country west of Mainburg. The original building in the 12th century is based on the unusual life story of Heinrich von Ebrantshausen , who lived nearby as a pious hermit. The originally Romanesque brick church was built in the 14th and 15th centuries. Century through the Gothic north extension of the Heinrichskapelle as part of the Heinrichswallfahrt with two aisles. At this time, the tower was also raised. The choir-free interior contains a reticulated vault, neo-Gothic altars, a late-Gothic pieta and votive tablets from the 19th century. The seated figure of Heinrich with an open book is a replica of St. Jakob von Hans Leinberger in the Bavarian National Museum. The bust reliquary of St. Heinrich dates from 1689. A bell hangs under the organ gallery because the blessed Heinrich used a bell to make his requests for maintenance.
Wagner Chapel
The chapel was built in memory of the Catholic parish priest Augustin Wagner (born August 17, 1898 in Reichenbach ). On April 27, 1945, he had a white flag laid out in the church tower to indicate the surrender to the advancing US Army and to prevent the village from being shot at. The plan was betrayed and Augustin Wagner was picked up by SS men early that night on April 28, 1945 . His body was found in the forest that summer. The two perpetrators, SS-Obersturmführer Werner Hopf (five years in prison) and SS-Untersturmführer Ludwig Metzger (three and a half years in prison) were convicted. In Ebrantshausen, a Pfarrer-Wagner-Strasse commemorates the clergyman.
