The branch church Maria Himmelfahrt of the Curatie Maria Himmelfahrt Nantesbuch in the parish of St. Vitus Iffeldorf is in the Penzberg district of Nantesbuch in the Upper Bavarian district of Weilheim-Schongau .

history

On May 5, 1757, the Benediktbeurer Abbot Leonhard Hochenauer laid the foundation stone for a Salvator chapel on the site of today's church . The designs came from Johann Michael Fischer , the builder was Joseph Hainz. The frescoes should Johann Baptist Zimmermann customize, but which died in March 1758 before beginning his work.

After the Salvator Chapel and three Nantesbucher courtyards burned down on July 14, 1836, construction of a new church began the following year. The Nantesbucher wanted to become an independent parish . The episcopal ordinariate in Augsburg , however, retained the status from 1819, when Nantesbuch became part of the parish of Iffeldorf as a curate. The Church of the Assumption of Mary was consecrated on October 18, 1840 by the Iffeldorfer pastor Alois Mayer. The bell tower was initially made of wood, demolished in 1865 due to disrepair and replaced by a stone structure eight years later. As early as 1854, the building was enlarged to include the choir and the sacristy .

The church was redesigned around 1930. There were ornaments painted over the choir arch the saying Domine non sum dignus ( "Lord, I am not worthy") attached and the pulpit - which was located on the right side - replaced by a second side altar. The pulpit was placed on the left side in the nave . Renovation work began in the late 1980s and lasted until 2015. First of all, the walls were dehumidified, the electrical cables replaced, an electric heater installed and the color scheme of the interior redesigned. The roof and exterior plaster were then repaired, the latter repainted, the bell cage and clockwork overhauled, the organ and priest's chair renewed and new carpets , bench covers and a new ambo acquired. Finally, the two were side altars newly adopted and renovated the pulpit.

Description and equipment

The neo-Romanesque church, facing west, consists of a flat-roofed hall with a rectangular choir and a polygonal sacristy . A flat gable roof sits on top . There is an ascending round arch frieze above the portal on the east side . The tower connected to the north has a pointed spire between triangular gables .

The equipment is generally quite simple. The painting of Maria Immaculata above the main altar dates from the 18th century , like the assistant figures St. Leonhard and Benedict . The latter two, like the depiction of the Sorrowful Mother under the cross opposite the pulpit, was probably created by Melchior Millecker. Father Godefrid designed the cross himself. The classicistic driving work of the canon tables , the candlesticks and an earlier tabernacle are by Hubert Carl Rettenböck from Wolfratshausen .

Bells

Until 1894 there were two bells that were returned to the donors when new bells were purchased. On August 1, 1894, three new bells were consecrated by Archbishop Antonius von Thoma in the names of St. Benedict and St. Margareth , St. Maria and St. Josef . Two bells were melted down for the First World War . On November 14, 1926, three new bells, cast by Hans Kermerknecht from Weilheim , were consecrated. After these were also confiscated and destroyed during the Second World War , two new bells were consecrated in 1950 by the Iffeldorfer pastor Heinrich Detzel.
