history

The parish of St. Georg in Haunstetten was first mentioned in a document in 1379. The core of today's church building dates from the late Middle Ages . In 1501 Haunstetten was incorporated into the imperial abbey of St. Ulrich and Afra , where a church is mentioned for the first time. The church was badly damaged during the Thirty Years War . In 1654 a new high altar was made by the Kistler Georg Glaser. The altar painting was created by Jonas Umbach.

Under Abbot Willibald Popp, the church was fundamentally redesigned and expanded in the Baroque style from 1725 to 1730 . The builder Johann Paulus probably carried out the renovation. The new ceiling painting Mariae Himmelfahrt was created by Johann Georg Wolker , the stucco work in the choir came from Franz Xaver Feichtmayer the Elder . Ä. and in the nave probably by Andreas Hainz. From 1761 to 1763 new altars were bought again by the carpenter Felix Frölich from Weicht.

From 1886 to 1888 the nave was extended to the west by two window axes. During the renovation from 1964 to 1966, all the altars from the 19th century were removed and the ceiling painting was whitewashed. In the course of a renovation from 1995 to 1997, the wall paintings were exposed again. In 1989 the parish center was rebuilt.
