history
The first unequivocal mention of a church in Partenkirchen is in the Conradin register of 1315, where "filias Parttenkhirch" (Filialkirchen in Partenkirchen) are mentioned. In 1347 the choir altar was consecrated in the enlarged Church of Our Lady in Partenkirchen . In 1381, the Freising Prince-Bishop Leopold von Sturmberg granted the Partenkirchen Church the right to levy customs duties on goods passing through the town. This explains why the church was described as "richly endowed" in 1597.
In the 18th century a new church was Maria Assumption in Baroque built, that of Vicar General Johann Ferdinand Joseph Freiherr von Pidikeim on September 24, 1734 ordained was. On this occasion, the local couple Mehling gave the church a picture of the Assumption of Mary by the Italian artist Bartolomeo Litterini , which was placed in a new altar in 1804. This altar came from the Freising Collegiate Church of St. Andreas , which was demolished in the course of secularization in Bavaria . On December 5, 1865, there was a fire in which 67 buildings were destroyed, including the church. Only a few items of equipment, including the picture mentioned, could be saved.
Three years after the fire, on June 13, 1868, the foundation stone for a new church was laid according to plans by Matthias Berger . While the baroque church was oriented to the southeast, the neo-Gothic new building with a choir was built to the northeast. Ferdinand Barth created templates for the painting . The church was consecrated on September 25, 1871 by Archbishop Gregor von Scherr .
In 1908 the interior was repainted by Hans Schmid from Munich ; after the First World War , the church received new bells in 1921 from the Augsburg bell foundry Fritz Hamm . Further renovations followed in 1926/27: a new organ was built , to which at the same time a new entrance was created from the outside, confessionals were built into the outer wall and a stone relief of St. Nicholas of Tolentino let into the outer wall of the tower porch. The relief was created by Josef Erhardt. After the Second World War , Hans Lerch donated a new cast steel bell in November 1945 , which was cast by JF Weule in Bockenem , and three more followed. They complement the only historical bronze bell that survived the war. In addition, the interior was renovated by the painter Seibold from Munich and the master painter Fischer. Between 1952 and 1956, new windows designed by Heinrich Bickel were installed, which had been made by the Mayer court glass painting in Munich. In 1966 a new roof was built on the nave and the tower; In 1971 further renovation measures followed inside and outside and new church stalls were purchased.

In 2002 the church was renovated from the outside and in 2004 a new heating system was installed. The interior was then renovated from 2005 to 2008 and the painting was restored to a condition similar to that in 1900.
