history

That to the Holy Spirit and St. Martin was founded in 1367 by Ulrich the Elder von Abensberg and his sons Dietrich, Johann Ulrich, Albrecht and Wilhelm on their hereditary property below their Veste Randeck . It was intended for six canons and twelve sick people. The canons also had to look after the parish of Altessing and Prunn. However, the pen never really blossomed because it was insufficiently funded. A large part of the sources of income - farms (e.g. in Waltenhofen ) and parishes in surrounding villages - also disappeared during the Reformation , when Pfalz-Neuburg became Protestant. A few decades later the hospital was no longer run as such, and from 1610 the canonicals were no longer manned. In the end, only the monastery dean resided in the monastery itself, while the pastors of the incorporated parishes also functioned as non-resident canons.

In 1672 the monastery came to the Ingolstadt Jesuits together with the Randeck rulership and fell to the Order of Malta after the Jesuit ban of 1773 . In the course of secularization in Bavaria , the monastic goods were confiscated in 1808, which also led to the final abolition of the Neuessing monastery. In the period that followed, the church became the parish church and the monastery building became the parsonage and parsonage. Today the parish is supplied with 892 Catholics (2001) by the pastor of Ihrlerstein.

Monastery building

The former canon building, a Renaissance building erected by master mason Schaluin under Dean Christoph Fuenk in 1630 , is attached to the west of the church as a two-storey long wing and ends in a slightly protruding transverse building, the residential and administrative building of the Stiftsdekans (today Unterer Markt 22), whose stepped staircase The gable side faces the street (the previous building burned down in 1599). At the northeast corner there is a two-storey polygonal bay on a polygonal substructure and with a domed roof. The infirmary is today's residential building at Unterer Markt 20, a single-storey building with a steep pitched roof (17th / 18th centuries).

Holy Spirit Church

In 1378 the medieval collegiate chapel of the Holy Spirit received parish rights from Altessing . The chapel was badly damaged in the Thirty Years War , but restored in 1660/61. In 1711, as indicated by an inscription on the church portal, it was enlarged and refurbished in the baroque style; The renovation was completed in 1717. The stucco resembles the Wessobrunn style, so that one can assume that the master bricklayer and stucco worker Joseph Bader , who lived in Rohr , took care of the expansion and the stucco. The interior of the church was painted by Valentin Reischl from Waldmünchen ; Among other things, he painted the foundation of the pen on the ceiling of the nave and the churches for which the pen is subject to a fee in grisaille tones in the stitch caps . The two-column high altar shows the coronation of Mary in the altarpiece and the apostle princes Peter and Paul as side figures . The altarpieces of the two two-pillar side altars depict the Annunciation and St. Leonhard . A large trumpet angel stands on the sound cover of the pulpit. There are several gravestones of clergymen from the 18th century. The bells date from 1493 and 1748.

In the corner between the church and the rectory there is a wayside shrine with a niche figure of St. Joseph (around 1711).
