history

Chapel and memorial stone

The chapel stands at the place where St. Emmeram is said to have died after his martyrdom in 652. The dating is based on the "Vita et passio Sancti Haimhrammi Martyri" of the Freising Bishop Arbeo as well as on the late Gothic tombstone in Aschheim. Other dates mention the years 685 and 692 as well as the time around 715.

As early as 853, when Feldkirchen was first mentioned in a document, a chapel was mentioned. In 1524 the chapel became a branch of the parish of Aschheim. Around 1707 a hermitage was built next to the chapel, in which hermits gave lessons to children from the surrounding areas. After the secularization , the chapel and the hermitage were demolished in 1807.

On October 30, 1833, the Aschheim pastor Erhard Cholemar applied for the erection of a Bavarian memorial with a memorial chapel at this location. It was built after a collection of donations approved by King Ludwig I (Bavaria) in 1840 for the entire Kingdom of Bavaria "with the hard-earned funds", inaugurated in 1843 and restored from 1978 to 1983.
