History and architecture
Church history
The first beginnings of Protestant community life developed from 1800 to 1801 with the electoral decrees. The Count Rumford took the end of the 18th century Protestants from Baden and the Rheinpfalz as colonists in the area. From these settlers a diaspora community developed, which was popularly called the Lutheran quarter by the otherwise Catholic population . There was no pastoral care, and people went to Munich to attend church services on the holidays. A Protestant by the name of Leitenberger acquired the secularized Fürstenfeld monastery around 1803 in order to set up a calico factory there. The establishment of a military facility for the disabled in the monastery in 1818 gave Protestant life a boost, as there were also a number of Protestant Christians among the disabled.
After a while, the military administration provided a church service room and an altar, a simple box. Donations made it possible to buy a pulpit, an organ and finally a real altar in 1847. The entire Upper Bavaria region was looked after by a single vicar, and travel expenses were covered by donations. With twelve church services a year, Fürstenfeldbruck was at the head of the diaspora communities in Upper Bavaria in 1849. With the arrival of Protestant officials in the place, the number of services increased to sixteen, the community comprised around 150 believers. The relocation of the military institution for invalids to Benediktbeuern reduced the community by 80 members, the furnishings of the worship room had to be taken along on the instructions of the commanding officer, Colonel Heckenstaller. A ministerial decree of June 17, 1868 contained the instruction that, for predominant reasons, no more services could be held in the prayer room. After a petition, the usage permit was extended to January 15, 1869. After further requests, the Protestant congregation received on February 28, 1869 an unlimited permit to use the prayer room. The military administration, however, retained 'with the proviso that it neither became legally binding nor an obligation and that the hall had to be vacated immediately if necessary. This prayer room served as a worship room until the church was built in 1927.
Due to the construction of the Munich-Kaufering railway line, Protestant workers and employees moved to Fürstenfeldbruck. In the years 1871/72, the Protestant community began to grow rapidly again, which continued due to the improved traffic routes to Munich and the resulting influx of strangers to Bruck. After only six services per year were held temporarily, the number of services increased again to twelve. The already mentioned royal notary Friedrich was for 30 years, from 1862 to 1892, the engine of all evangelical efforts in Bruck. In 1894 the Royal Bavarian NCOs moved into the former monastery, and the community reached 180 people. An exiled vicariate was founded, and Ernst Krausser, a candidate for preaching office from Nuremberg, took up his post on April 8, 1894. Since then, church services have been held on all Sundays and public holidays, and regular confirmation and religion classes have been established.
History of the church
After the founding of the church building association in 1903, the construction of its own church was pushed ahead. In May 1912 the parish acquired the rectory and the space for the church. The fortune of the church building association in the amount of 40,000 marks fell victim to the inflation. The building plans were drawn up in 1925 by the President of the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich, German Bestelmeyer . He also took over the construction management, the groundbreaking ceremony took place on May 11, 1925. An extensive renovation of the interior was carried out in 1980.
