The Roman Catholic parish church of St. Andreas is an originally Gothic, Baroque-style hall church in Wolfratshausen in the Upper Bavarian district of Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen . It belongs to the parish of St. Andreas Wolfratshausen in the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising , which has formed the parish association Stadtkirche Wolfratshausen with the parish of St. Josef since 2016.
history
After the Gothic church burned down in 1484, it was rebuilt in 1621–1626 by the Munich court mason Georg Graf, with the medieval tower ground floor being reused. In the years 1630/1631 the octagonal tower upper floor with onion dome was added. In 1724 the organ loft was installed by master bricklayer Benedikt Schafstetter and plasterer Urban Graetz from Kempfenhausen. The stucco decoration was expanded to a larger extent in 1906. In 1937 oratorios were built into the choir. A further repair took place in 1981/1982, with the south entrance being moved around a yoke to the west.
architecture
The church is a three-aisled hall church with four bays with a retracted, polygonal closing choir and south tower. A crucifixion group is attached to the southern outer wall, which was apparently created in 1770/1780 by Philipp Jakob Rämpl from Wolfratshausen. In the central nave there is a barrel vault with stitch caps on octagonal pillars with pointed arches . The transverse, smoothed side aisle vaults protrude with their stitch caps up to the central nave vault.
The choir with higher vaults is separated from the nave by a triumphal arch-like barrel vault in the width of the central nave. This made it possible to include the medieval tower despite the expansion. The geometric stucco decorations in fields with frames made of pearl and leaf rods as well as cloth hangings and winged angel heads were largely renewed and supplemented in 1906 based on models from Nantwein and designs by Josef Elsner .
Furnishing
The main piece of equipment is the high altar from the years 1659–1661, which was created by the local Kistler Lukas Herle. It is furnished with sculptures of St. Catherine of Alexandria and Petrus by Kaspar Niederreiter from Dietramszell and a painting of the crucifixion of St. Andrew by Andreas Adam Griesmann. The tabernacle is the work of Joseph Bernhard Rämpl from 1819, the son of the sculptor mentioned above. The side altar gables were added in 1897 based on the pattern of the original gable removed in 1865/1866. The version was made in 1955/1956 according to the original findings.
The murals on the side walls of the choir arch were created in 1865 by Alois Dirnberger in place of the two altars that were formerly there and depict the Holy Trinity on the left and the death of St. Catherine on the right.
The side altars were redesigned and redesigned in 1901 by Elsner. The altar leaves were created by Johann Baptist Müller in 1837 and depict the Enthroned Mother of God above a view of Wolfratshausen on the left and the martyred Saints Sebastian and Irene on the right .
The pulpit from the late 17th century was drastically modified in 1824 and 1906. On the opposite pillar is a crucifix from the second half of the 17th century with a depiction of the Mater dolorosa from the first quarter of the 18th century.
The twelve large apostle sculptures on the nave walls were created by various artists between 1680 and 1690. The figures of Matthäus and Jakobus were possibly made by Georg Wunderl from Wolfratshausen, the princes of the apostles Peter and Paulus von Niederreiter from Dietramszell and the rest probably by Johann Krinner from Tölz.
On the lower gallery parapet there are canvas paintings from the life of the Virgin, which were painted in the years 1680–1686 by the painter and mayor Kaspar Albrecht from Wolfratshausen, a student of Griesmann. These pictures were donated by Wolfratshausen guilds , whose coats of arms, and in some cases the date, can be seen on the stucco frames. On the upper gallery parapet of the side aisles, two paintings from the lives of the princes of the apostles from 1865/1866 can be seen.
