history

A branch church in Eggerding is said to have existed as early as 785, and in 1190 "Eckharding" was mentioned for the first time in a document. At the time of the early church organization in the Middle Ages, the area around Eggerding and Mayrhof belonged to the original parish of St. Weihflorian . Like the Münzkirchen parish , this consisted of areas that had originally belonged to the St. Severin parish in Passau's Innstadt . St. Weihflorian was first designated as an independent parish in 1182 when it was incorporated into the Passau “Innbruckamt”, which was subordinate to the St. Aegidien Hospital in the city center. The parish of St. Weihflorian was very extensive: It lay between the area of ​​activity of the original parish of St. Severin and that of the original parish of Münsteuer and included the area of ​​today's parishes of Brunnenthal , Schärding , St. Florian am Inn , Suben , St. Marienkirchen and Eggerding , plus shares in today's parishes of Taufkirchen , Lambrechte and Rainbach . When the parish of St. Weihflorian moved to Schärding in 1380 , the area around Eggerding and Mayrhof became a branch of Schärding. In 1581 the previous branch vicariate of St. Marienkirchen (consisting of St. Marienkirchen, Eggerding and Mayrhof) was raised to an independent parish by the Cathedral Chapter of Passau. In 1785 the area around Eggerding and Mayrhof was detached from the parish of St. Marienkirchen as part of the Josephine reforms and elevated to an independent parish as the patronage parish of Eggerding .

The Gothic church in Eggerding is from the end of the 15th century. The tower was built around 1900 with the master builder Matthäus Schlager .

architecture

The single-nave, three-bay nave has a ribbed vault derived from a six-pointed star, similar to Handenberg and Braunau's Bürgerspitalkirche. The slightly retracted two-bay, ribbed, vaulted choir closes with a five-eighth closure . On the outside, the buttresses show themselves in rich late Gothic shapes. The west tower around 1900 wears a pointed helmet. The south portal is late Gothic and has a door with Gothic fittings. The sacristy door has Gothic fittings. There are paintings (probably as vault paintings) by Jacob Zeiller (around 1771), St. Katharina in the southern choir annex, St. Barbara in the room above.

Furnishing

The altars are neo-Gothic. The baptismal font carries a wooden group Baptism of Christ from the middle of the 18th century.
