Assumption of Mary (Aichach)
The Catholic parish church of the Assumption of Mary is a listed church building in Aichach .
history
The church was first mentioned in a document on September 17, 1153. The church in Aichach was given to the German order in 1210 by Duke Ludwig der Kelheimer . The nave of the originally Romanesque building probably ended at the steps of today's choir . Only the basement of the tower was preserved. Around 1450 the church was rebuilt in its present form, six windows in the high wall of the central nave were bricked up, the side aisles and the central nave were previously much lower. In 1709 and 1777 two small chapels were added to the south aisle . From 1771 the church was given a baroque style . When the interior of the church was restored from 1861 to 1863, Gothic designs were preferred again. About 40 grave slabs that had previously been placed in the church have been relocated. Between 1906 and 1908 the interior building was redesigned according to the ideas of the Munich architect of historicism Richard Berndl . The interior was painted purple and electrical lighting fixtures were installed . In the years 1955 to 1956 the Art Nouveau painting was whitewashed and the high altar was restored to its old color. Wooden structures on two altars have been removed. Another renovation was carried out from 1976 to the mid-80s. The walls were extensively renovated. The choir was redesigned, a people's altar was set up and a new organ was acquired in 1989. In 2011, the renovation of the roof, the outer wall and the bell tower began with the installation of six new bronze bells and a wooden bell chair, which was completed in early 2017. In 2017, the next major project will be the interior renovation, which is expected to cost over one million euros. Particular attention is paid to the Art Nouveau Way of the Cross by Georg Busch . This outstanding element of the church is to be restored in its original form, i.e. the painted frames, numbers and names of the stations that were whitewashed in 1955/56. The general renovation of the building is to be completed in 2020.

- Crucifixion group from around 1908.
- Stations of the Cross from around 1908, carved in sandstone by Georg Busch , as well as individual statues from this period.
Peal
The ringing after the First World War consisted of 5 bells, some of which had survived the war or were cast afterwards. During the Second World War , the bronze bells had to be removed and melted down for war purposes in 1942. The ringing from 1947 consists of five steel bells, which were donated by Robert Haselberger and cast into "secondary beating" by the Bochum association . They all hung with cranked yokes and counterweight clappers in a steel bell cage. In 2016, the new bronze bells were cast in the Bachert bell foundry in Karlsruhe and consecrated on two different dates, as the first casting of the Trinity bell failed. They have officially been ringing since December 24, 2016.

organ
In the Aichach parish church there were previously several organs. A church organ in the Aichach church was first mentioned in 1643 when an existing organ was restored by Andreas Menhofer . In 1751 a new organ with twelve registers was built into the old case , which was replaced by a new one in 1828. For this, the organ loft had to be expanded. The former organ case can be found in Willprechtszell ever since . In the 19th and 20th centuries there were then several modifications and extensions.
In the 1980s the idea of a new organ came up. It should have 42 registers and 2773 pipes (2531 tin and 242 wood) and be built by the Klais organ building workshop , whereby the existing housing has been preserved and expanded due to monument protection. In 2020, the organ building workshop Weishaupt is to carry out basic cleaning and repairs.
