Ensemble Stadtplatz (Geisenfeld)
The Ensemble town square in Geisenfeld , a town in the Upper Bavarian district Pfaffenhofen , is an architectural ensemble , under monument stands. It includes the settlement center of Geisenfeld, which is essentially formed by the town square, the Rathausstrasse, the Marienplatz, the church square and the cloister courtyard.
history
In the 11th century Geisenfeld was the center of an extensive rulership complex of the Counts of Ebersberg . With the transfer of Ebersberger's property to the Benedictine monastery , which they founded in 1030 , the place became the center of the important manorial power of the monastery as a market and craft settlement .
With the monastery vogtei , the place came to the Wittelsbachers around 1130 , who supported Geisenfeld in its development especially during the time of the partial duchies in the 14th and 15th centuries. Economically, the place remained dependent on the monastery, which until its secularization in 1803 was the landlord of more than three quarters of all properties. The circular wall built in the early 15th century determined the outline for the horseshoe-shaped extension of the village around the settlement core.
description
The town square with its irregular floor plan is surrounded by two-story buildings from the 17th to the early 20th century. Some of the large buildings have tail gables . Buildings dominating the space are the eaves-standing inn, which occupies the entire east side of the square, as well as the other inn located in the corner with a polygonal corner tower and curved gable , which forms a structural unit with the house at Stadtplatz 5, also with a curved gable.
The western side is dominated by the rectory , a saddle roof building built around 1752 with a baroque tail gable. The eaves side building at Stadtplatz 11, on the corner of Maximilianstrasse and Augsburger Strasse, closes off the square in the northwest.
Rathausstrasse, the north side of which is bordered by mostly two-storey gabled houses and on the south side by an annex building from Stadtplatz 3, connects the town square with Marienplatz. This is a street square running in a north-south direction with a triangular widening in the north. It is surrounded by mostly two-story, simple eaves breeches from the 19th century.
The triangular church square and the cloister courtyard of the former Geisenfeld monastery adjoin to the south . The dominant buildings here are the old town hall, built in 1626, as well as the present town hall, originally built as a boys' school and Schranne in 1874, in the middle of the church square. These buildings are dominated by the former Benedictine monastery church of the Assumption of Mary, today's Catholic parish church of St. Emmeram, with its double tower facade.
