history

First mentioned in a document in 1230, from 1250 pastoral care for the city of Freising was transferred from Domberg to Moosach Valley to a predecessor of today's Georgskirche. "St. Jörg im Moos ”was probably built in the 10th century and the church was obviously rebuilt around 1200. The east facade connects to the "Marienplatz" market square, and together with the town hall that was built next to it, it formed the urban center of the town.

Today's church was a new building from 1440, built in the late Gothic style and completed in 1494. It is a three-aisled relay hall; the vaults of the two aisles are slightly lower than the central nave. The net vault contains beautifully painted keystones. The two portals are in the south and north in the rear part of the church. The crucifix on the choir arch - a larger-than-life corpus - was created around 1450. On the west wall (south side aisle) an early Baroque monumental large-scale sculpture “The Dragon Fight of St. George” from 1660. On the west wall (north aisle) three late Gothic wooden altar panels “Last Judgment”.

The 84 meter high baroque tower in the west of the church - with the lantern dome, which can be climbed to the balustrade every Saturday afternoon from May to October - was built by Antonio Riva from 1679 to 1689 . The previous tower buildings were demolished due to dilapidation, which is also related to the subsoil. The tower has a four-storey substructure followed by the bell storey.

The cemetery was originally near the church, but was then rebuilt in 1543 - together with the Gottesackerkirche St. Maria - outside the city wall (north of the brick gate).

After the secularization in 1803, the pastoral duties of the dissolved collegiate parishes of St. Andreas and St. Veit were finally transferred to St. Georg in 1837. In the 19th century the parish church was furnished in a neo-Gothic style. By 2003 the church was restored in the version from 1497. The modern lamellar altar , on which a picture of the no longer existing Gothic high altar is etched, comes from the artist couple Lutzenberger from Bad Wörishofen .
