The Pallottine Church of St. John the Baptist is a modern church building in the northern city of Freising (Upper Bavaria). It was built between 1928 and 1930 together with an elongated missionary seminar based on plans by the Darmstadt architect Jan Hubert Pinand . With the complex, Pinand created one of the most important buildings of ecclesiastical expressionism in old Bavaria.
history
The Pallottine community came to Freising in 1919. The first seminar building was the former Philipps Castle (previously used by the Hofbrauhaus Freising ) on Domberg .
At the end of the 1920s, encouraged by the director of the clerical seminary Johannes Schauer and the mayor of Freising, Stephan Bierner , the community decided to build a new building on the Wehrberg on the northern outskirts. The building complex was consecrated on September 14, 1930 by the Munich Archbishop Cardinal Faulhaber . Father Albert Eise became the first rector of the house .
In 1939 the entire building was confiscated. A teacher training center was set up on the site, and a military hospital in the later war years. The church served the neighboring Vimy barracks as a garrison church .
After the end of World War II , Prelate Michael Höck and Munich Auxiliary Bishop Johannes Neuhäusler revived community life. A boarding school was built in the seminar building, which existed until 1988 and which last also served as the archbishop's seminary for the archdiocese of Munich and Freising .
Today an education and therapy center is housed in the Pallotti House.
architecture
The building complex is a three-wing complex. It is essentially built from clinker bricks that adorn the facade in various patterns. Architect Pinand made use of a Gothic design language , particularly when planning the church .
