Visitation of the Virgin Mary (Bockhorn)
The Roman Catholic parish church of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary in Bockhorn in the Upper Bavarian district of Erding is a uniform, late-baroque hall building that was built in 1712 by the Erdingen city mason Anton Kogler . The tower superstructure, which is crowned by a double onion with a lantern , was carried out by Kogler's successor, Johann Baptist Lethner, around the middle of the 18th century. Today the building is under monument protection and is accordingly registered with the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation as a monument with the number D-1-77-113-1.
architecture
Exterior construction
The east-facing hall structure includes a single-bay , retracted choir with a semicircular apse , a four-bay nave with rounded corners and a protruding west tower . The entire church building, including the tower, is structured by white pilaster strips that contrast with the pink wall backs. All yokes, including the choir yokes and the three free sides of the tower, each contain a vertical rectangular window with a curved outline and a small, transversely oval blind window above. Above these blind windows, a protruding, profiled cornice creates the transition to the gable roof , under which the nave and choir are united.
This cornice continues on the tower, where it mediates the transition between the substructure and the clock floor. Another cornice has been drawn in just above the ridge height ; above this is the octagonal superstructure, which contains the belfry . Artfully curved volutes lean against its inclined side . Another, far protruding cornice already bears the swellings of the tower dome - a double onion with a lantern, also known as a spindle helmet in its entirety, which is crowned by a tower ball and cross.
The construction of the sacristy is particularly original and can be found in a similar form in the parish church of St. Nikolaus in Altfraunhofen, around 25 kilometers away . It extends in a ring around the apse and ends flush with the side walls of the nave, so that the nave and choir appear more as one structural unit. Access to the interior of the church is via two portals with a small porch, which are located on the north and south sides in the western yoke.
inner space
The yoke separation in the interior, both in the nave and in the choir, is done by flat pilasters that support a protruding, profiled cornice. This gives the transition to the scarf vault as a flat stitch cap ton is executed. The choir arch is curved and is reminiscent of three-pass shapes . The ceiling frescoes are not originally Baroque, but were only added in modern times. Elaborate, baroque stucco work can hardly be found in the church interior ; however, stucco from around 1725 has been preserved in the sacristy. A two-storey gallery has been moved into the rear nave yoke ; the organ is located on the upper floor .
Furnishing
The three historical altars and the pulpit were made around 1730 in the Baroque style. The main picture of the four-pillar high altar shows the patronage depiction of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary ; to the side there are wooden figures of Saints Korbinian (left) and Urban (right), which were probably made in the middle of the 18th century. The two four-column side altars are designed as counterparts and have similar design elements as the high altar. The north (left) side altar is dedicated to the Archangel Michael , whose victory over Lucifer is also shown in the large altar panel. The holy martyrs Laurentius (left) and Sebastian (right) act as side figures . The southern (right) side altar contains a high-quality, well-preserved figure of the Mother of God in the Gothic style instead of an altar sheet . This is likely to have been created around 1480. The side figures represent the Saints Joseph and Florian .
In addition to numerous epitaphs from the 16th and 17th centuries, which are attached inside and outside of the walls of the church, the knight's grave stone for Paulus Pötschner († 1483) is particularly noteworthy. This figurative grave slab is believed to have been made in the Haldner sculptor's workshop in Munich .
organ
The organ of the parish church of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary was built in 1909 by Franz Borgias Maerz from Munich . It originally comprised 12 stops on two manuals and a pedal ; the second manual was later extended by two stops. The pneumatic Taschenladen instrument has a free-standing gaming table and a Neorokoko - Prospekt . The disposition is as follows:

Remarks:
Bells
Four bells ring from the tower with the tone sequence c 1 –e 1 –g 1 –a 1 . This corresponds to a Salve Regina - disposition . The three big bells were cast by Karl Czudnochowsky in Erding in 1947 and are consecrated to St. Mary , the Sacred Heart of Jesus and St. Joseph . The smallest bell, as usual the death bell , is also the oldest; Josef Anton Stern cast this in Landshut in 1779 .
