The Roman Catholic parish church of the Annunciation is a baroque hall church in the Altenerding district of Erding in the district of the same name in Upper Bavaria . It belongs to the parish of the Assumption of Mary Altenerding in the Erding deanery of the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising .

History and architecture

The stately baroque hall church was built in the years 1721–1724 by the Erdingen city master builder Anton Kogler as one of his main works, whereby the core late-Gothic choir from 1469 was reused. The spire was built by the carpenter Johann Degele after a lightning strike in 1770. A restoration took place in the years 1985–1987. There are buttresses on the retracted choir, which closes on three sides, and the five-axis nave is structured with pilasters . The square west tower is finished with a richly structured upper floor and a three-way hood . The interior is structured with pilasters and closed off by a barrel vault with stitch caps.

Furnishing

The artistically valuable Rococo furnishings were created around 1767 according to the chronogram in the choir arch "saLVs eX anCILLa Matre DeI" ("Salvation comes from the maid and Mother of God"). The economical stuccoing is attributed to Johann Anton Bader . The ceiling paintings were carried out by Johann Martin Heigl and represent in a stucco-imitating frame in the choir of the Birth of Mary, in the nave the homage of the continents to Mary and in the side panels eight models for Mary from the Old Testament.

Three altars, which were created by Matthias Fackler from Dorfen, have sculptures by Christian Jorhan the Elder from Landshut and were painted by the barrel painter Franz Xaver Zellner. In the high altar is a picture of the Annunciation by Joseph Hauber from the year 1799, the secondary characters represent Saints James the Elder , John the Baptist, John Evangelista and Nicholas . On the tabernacle , the apocalyptic lamb is depicted on a book with seven seals that is caressed and adored by putti portrayed alive.

On the side altars there are oil paintings and sculptures: on the left altar St. Anne with Mary between Saints Peter and Paul, on the right altar a picture of Joseph between Saints Francis and Anthony of Padua . The original ship- shaped pulpit, similar to the one in Niederding, is also a joint effort by Jorhan, Fackler and Zellner. An extremely richly decorated monstrance by the Augsburg goldsmith Ludwig Schneider was probably commissioned for the consecration of the church around 1725.

The Stations of the Cross were created by Christian Wink in 1795 and purchased in 1903. Several epitaphs date from 1545, 1593, 1608 and 1631.

Five bells from 1965 by Rudolf Perner with the sound sequence C-es-gbc form the ring.

organ

The organ in a case from 1760 by Johannes Schweinacher from Landshut is a work by Orgelbau Vleugels from 1993. It comprises 25 stops on two manuals and a pedal . It is decorated with figures of the Saints David and Cäcilie von Jorhan.
