Holy Cross (Hofolding)
The Roman Catholic parish church Heilig Kreuz is a baroque hall church in the Hofolding district of Brunnthal in the Upper Bavarian district of Munich . It belongs to the parish association Höhenkirchen in the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising .
History and architecture
The church in Hofolding, originally consecrated to St. Michael, was built as a new building by Johann Georg Ettenhofer from Munich in place of a previous Gothic building . After the vault collapsed in 1777, the church was re-vaulted by Franz Anton Kirchgrabner and it was renovated in 1968.
The building is a hall church with a slightly retracted, semicircular closing choir, a sacristy on its east side and a tower in the northeast corner, which is square on the lower floor, octagonal in the upper and closed with a voluminous onion dome. The outside of the church is structured by fields with arched windows and blind oculi . The interior is closed off by barrel vaults with stitch caps in the choir, and in the nave by flat barrel vaults above wall pillars with wide pilasters and shield arches . The ceiling frescoes in the choir show Christ with the sign of victory from 1778 by Augustin Joseph Demmel and in the nave depictions of the legend of the cross, painted by Joseph Franz Xaver Graß in 1779 from Miesbach, with typological references to the cross in the stitching caps. A gallery is built into the west.
Furnishing
The high altar from the end of the 17th century was transferred here from the Mariahilfkirche in Munich in 1745. It shows a painting with a representation of the Pietà under the cross, signed by Franz Seraph Gaulrapp, flanked by wooden sculptures of St. Dionysius and the Archangel Michael.
The side altars with groups of wooden figures were created by Anton Niggl from Aibling in 1725 . St. Count Rasso is depicted on the north altar, and St. Anthony of Padua on the south .
The pulpit has rich, strong carved ornaments and was created in 1746 by Anna Maria Gottfried, Kistlerin from Munich-Haidhausen. On the south side of the nave there is a crucifix donated in 1745 with a Mater dolorosa made of wood. The organ is a work by WRK-Orgelbau from 1991 with eleven stops on two manuals and pedal .
