history

At Spalt, according to a deed of donation from 792, the St. Salvator monastery community already existed, which was subordinate to the Sankt Emmeram monastery in Regensburg. The monastery was founded in 1037 by Adelheid , mother of Konrad II , and the Regensburg Bishop Gebhard III. converted into a canon with a further donation. In 1295, the St. Nikolaus Monastery, founded by the Bishop of Eichstätt and the Burgrave Konrad of Nuremberg, was built in Spalt , which was able to use the Basilica of St. Emmeram before its own church was built. St. Emmeram was financially less well equipped than the new St. Nikolaus Abbey. In the 16th century the monastery fell into disrepair, and most of the goods were lost during the Reformation. In 1619 the monastery was merged with the St. Nikolaus monastery. The United Foundations were abolished as part of the secularization of 1804/1806. The church of St. Emmeram became a parish church.

St. Emmeram Church

The church of St. Emmeram in Spalt was built in the 12th century as a three-aisled basilica with two west towers, which was consecrated by Bishop Otto and placed under the patronage of St. Emmeram in addition to the Assumption of Mary . After secularization , St. Emmeram's church became a parish church . Georg Spalatin had the Spalter Madonna set up inside , a late Gothic, colored 60 cm high Madonna figure from 1519.
