Assumption of Mary (Jarzt)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Parish Church of the Assumption from the west

The Roman Catholic parish church Maria Himmelfahrt in the district of Jarzt of the municipality of Fahrenzhausen in the district of Freising is elevated on the Kirchberg slope above the Ampertal . Today's church building comes mainly from the Baroque era , when the nave was rebuilt around 1700 while retaining the Gothic chancel and the tower and then furnished in Baroque style. Somewhat to the west of it on a higher hillside is the former baroque rectory. Both buildings together are protected architectural monuments .

history

The parish church was first mentioned in 1315, and it had four branch churches. In 1461 the church was first described as Marienkirche. The old church from the Middle Ages did not even have foundations and it was obviously no longer worth repairing if it was dilapidated. This led to the new building of the nave in 1700, which still exists today. On September 4, 1708, the renewed church was consecrated by Prince-Bishop Johann Franz Eckher von Kapfing .

The Schmidt'sche matriculation from 1738/40 lists the parish branches: Farenzhausen, Lautterbach, Westerndorff, Apercha and Pelkha as well as the new chapel in Unterpruckh (= predecessor of today's Anna Church).

In 1874 it was described by Anton Mayer as follows: 17th century architectural style. Single-ship. Spaciousness enough. four-sided domed tower with a so-called lantern. 3 bells from 1867 (Bachmair in Erding). 3 altars. Organ with 8 registers. Church services on all Sundays and holidays. The cooperator provides temporary assistance to Giebing (2 times) and Haimhausen (3 times). Cloisters: Surrounding the fields, where the high mass is celebrated in Apercha.

Around 1890 there were major renovations. In 1887 the church was painted by the Kraft brothers from Freising. There were also 12 candlesticks. A new tower clock was also purchased for 750 marks, which had been made by clockmaker Hemberger from Erling near Andechs. In 1894 the painter and gilder Franz Welker from Munich renovated the three altars of the parish church as well as the pictures of the saints, the candlesticks and panels.

In 1928/29 the nave was lengthened by more than 9 meters to a total of almost 35 meters and the double gallery was reduced to a single gallery. Until then, the entrance was on the west side and was protected from storms by a small portico . As a result of the renovation, it moved to the south side. Renovations took place in 1890/94, 1902, 1929 and 1975.

Since 2012, the parish of Jarzt - as part of the parish association of Fahrenzhausen-Haimhausen - has belonged again to the Dachau deanery , to which it had belonged in the past.

Furnishing

Altars

Look at the altars

The decorative baroque high altar takes up almost the entire width of the choir. The mighty high altar retable has an altar sheet by Antonio Zanchi . He has the saints Joseph and Johannes Nepomuk as side figures .

The side altars from around 1730 (artist not known) are designed in a simpler style than the high altar (column-free altar structures). The church also has numerous baroque figures.

organ

View of the organ gallery

The organ from 1922 (Leopold Nenninger, 2 manuals, 11 stops) was already on the gallery in the smaller church before 1929. The prospectus dates from the 18th century. Stylistically, it belongs to the end of the Baroque period and the beginning of Classicism.

On Christmas Day 1975 the organ gave up its service during the celebration of mass. After a renovation by the organ builder Anton Staller from Grafing and a simultaneous expansion to 17 registers, it has been heard again since 1979.

Parish and rectory

Parish of Jarzt

Around 1870 the cathedral deficit Anton Mayer described the Archdiocese of Munich-Freising . He wrote about the parish of Jarzt that it had 772 souls in 110 houses. Of these, only 126 believers (in 18 houses) lived in Jarzt itself, 9 (1) in Bärnau, 79 (12) in Lauterbach, 89 (11) in Unterbruck, 137 (20) in Appercha, 160 (28) in Fahrenzhausen, 83 (8) in Westerndorf and 89 (12) in Oberndorf. Shortly before (1868) the parish had lost the hamlet of Pelka. From Lauterbach 2 houses belonged to the parish Hohenkammer and 1 house to Giebing.

At that time, 11 Protestants lived in Appercha (spelling at the time: Apercha) (it was specially noted). The parish was then 1 1/2 hours long (walking hours are meant).

The parish of Jarzt / Fahrenzhausen formed a parish association for many years with the parish of Giebing (district of Dachau) and the curate of Weng (district of Freising). In 2012 this was expanded by the parish of Haimhausen and renamed the parish association of Fahrenzhausen-Haimhausen .

Baroque rectory

Former rectory in Jarzt

On August 17, 1799, the old rectory in Jarzt burned down. Almost all archive materials, foundation books, registers and other documents were also burned. At that time the rectory was so small that it couldn't even accommodate the cooperator. The new rectory was then considerably larger. Anton Mayer said:

The pastor lives with the cooperator for Westerndorf, Apercha and Lauterbach in a parsonage built in 1805, on a hill 100 steps from the church. The so-called “split slip” rule (free accommodation and meals, a certain maternity allowance (salary) and a certain share of the stol fees) applied to the remuneration. The farm buildings were also rebuilt after the fire of 1799 around 1805, but the stables were not rebuilt until 1854. The Widdum , the parish farm, comprises 91 days of land (30 hectares) with a 10 credit rating.

The two-storey rectory built on the mountain slope above the church is worth seeing. It burned down in 1799. The current building was not erected until 1805 because "the war riots that were prevalent at the time and the resulting bureaucratic work delayed work".

The historian Völkl described the rectory in 1929 as follows:

The rectory, about 100 steps from the parish church, is the most beautiful place on its hill of all Jarzter houses. At first sight, the massive building appears to be a former castle. (...) In 1619, after taking office, the pastor Simon Perkhamer wrote: I came to a dilapidated and tattered parsonage. In the Schmidtische Matrikel from 1738 it is written about the vicarage: The newly built vicarage has no defect with the accessories. The cooperator previously lived in the adjacent granary, but now in the parsonage.

The parsonage is currently rented to a church employee (deacon).
