Castle of the Pfaffinger in Salmanskirchen, engraving by Michael Wening from 1723

Salmanskirchen is a church village and a former municipality that today belongs to the municipality of Ampfing in the Upper Bavarian district of Mühldorf am Inn . The place should not be confused with Salmannskirchen in the also Upper Bavarian district of Erding.

history

Salmanskirchen was first mentioned around 1166, when Henricus de Salbarnchirichen acted as a middleman for a donation to the Gars monastery . 1203 begins with knight Wernhard I, the pious († 1216) secured the row of Pfäffingers as owners of the open Hofmark Salmanskirchen.

When and by whom the first church in Salmanskirchen was built is unknown. The predecessor of today's church must have already existed in 1397, because Andreas II. Pfäffinger zu Salbernkirchen (* approx. 1328, † 1405) donated an "Eternal Mass" to the church together with his cousin, Hans II. Pfäffinger zum Steeg. This means that a foundation fed by the income from several farms made it possible to employ a priest who was always present and read masses every day. However, the church always remained incorporated into the Lohkirchen parish. The old church probably stood where the one that still exists today.

Around 1500 the great-grandson of Andreas II, the then court lord and Bavarian hereditary marshal Genteflor Pfäffinger (* before 1442, † 1503) decided to build a new building because the old church was dilapidated, small and not very representative. If Andreas II had already visited the Holy Land and brought relics with him that were kept and exhibited in the church, Genteflor's son and successor Degenhart Pfäffinger also traveled in 1493 in the wake of Elector Friedrich III. from Saxony there. He brought more relics with him and increased them on his numerous trips in the service of this elector, whose innermost councilor and chamberlain he became. In the new church, consecrated in 1502 to the two saints Johannes Baptist and Johannes Evangelist , there was now space to present these holy things.

Next to the old church there was also the fortress house on the hill , i.e. a fortified, castle-like residence, presumably where the parsonage is today. This “castle” burned down so completely in the summer of 1463 that only a new building was possible. Genteflor took the opportunity and decided on a construction site in the valley, not far from the former dairy, which allowed a more spacious facility, a pond and ancillary buildings. Michael Wening's engraving shows this building, which also included a chapel dedicated to the Holy Trinity . The castle and chapel were demolished around 1825. In the chapel windows valuable ornamental glasses were used that show, among other representations Genteflors and sword Harts and sword Hart's sister Maria (born September 7, 1462, † October 28 verm. 1528), already under its then religious name Ursula abbess of the monastery Frauenchiemsee was and whose designs presumably come from the master of Mühldorf . They were saved and placed in the windows of the church with the two Johns. Otherwise only a small part of the building, reduced by one storey, remained, the so-called castle house.

Degenhart, who, on his trip to Jerusalem there on the Knights of the Holy grave was beaten, married in 1515 in this church in the presence of his electors Erntraut of Seiboldstorf . The marriage remained childless. Degenhart died in Frankfurt during the preparatory negotiations for the election of Emperor Charles V. He was also buried there. In “his” church, in which he actually wanted to be buried, an epitaph was set for him, which is considered a masterpiece of this time and is considered the most beautiful of the numerous gravestones and memorial stones in this small church.

The main heir to Degenhart, Abbess Ursula, agreed with her co-heirs on a division of the estate. Through this Salmanskirchen came into the possession of Hans III. von Herzheim, whose mother was Veronika, a sister of Genteflor. In contrast to Degenhart, who remained a Catholic until his death, Hans III von Herzheim was convinced of Luther's new teaching . He had his sons raised in a Lutheran manner. The older, Johannes Baptist, who called himself Hans Jordan († 1597), inherited the property after the death of his father. He dismissed the Catholic beneficiary and appointed a preacher, i.e. a Protestant clergyman, in his place. Although he had to take this measure back on the orders of Duke Albrecht V of Bavaria , he and the majority of the residents of Salmanskirche remained true to the new teaching. Hans Jordan was married to Susanna von Tauffkirchen zu Guttenberg († 1573).

Cuno von Herzheim (* 1564, † 1603), Hans Jordan's son, thought the same. As controversial as he may have been in questions of faith, he was just as careful in maintaining and increasing his property. He rebuilt and expanded the castle in 1581/82 and married Rosina von Closen with whom he fathered five daughters. One of these, Maria Katharina von Herzheim, is the last of her family to inherit Salmanskirchen. She is married to Wolfgang Ernst Freiherr von Tannberg zu Aurolzmünster and Offenberg († 1621). In 1640, after three generations, Salmanskirchen got another family as Hofmarksherrn. The castle, property and Hofmark fell by inheritance to Baron Hochprant von Tauffkirchen. Maria Anna Countess von Tauffkirchen zu Guttenburg and Klebing, his granddaughter and wife of Franz Maximilian Hund Freiherr auf Lautterbach and Eidlsrieth, inherited Salmanskirchen in 1697, but only kept it for a short time and sold it to the Neuhaus family on Zangenberg. In 1807 this family also died out, whereupon the Tauffkirchen briefly became owners again.

The Salmanskirchen community was founded in 1818 with the Bavarian community edict. The incorporation to Ampfing took place on January 1, 1978 as part of the municipal reform .
