The Roman Catholic branch church of St. Georg is a late Gothic hall church in Gelbersdorf , a district of Gammelsdorf in the Upper Bavarian district of Freising . It belongs to the parish of St. Vitus in Gammelsdorf, which in turn belongs to the Gammelsdorf-Hörgertshausen parish association of the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising . The branch church in Gelbersdorf is best known for its valuable late Gothic high altar .
History and architecture
The church in Gelbersdorf was built in the second half of the 15th century as a simple hall church with a retracted choir with five-eighth end and a tower on its north side with a pointed helmet over four gables . A smooth frieze runs under the roof approach. The interior was renovated in 1973 . In the years 2013–2015 the high altar was restored, cleaning the altar, retouching imperfections and removing damaged overpaintings from previous restorations.
The interior is completed in the choir by a late Gothic vault with net figures and in the nave by a flat ceiling with tracery from 1858. The vault in the choir is supported by consoles and shows round keystones at all crossings of the ribs. The window tracery has been renewed.
Furnishing
The valuable high altar from 1482 is a major work of Landshut's late Gothic painting and sculpture. It was transferred here in the middle of the 18th century. The burst and the original Mother of God standing in the shrine are no longer there. The shrine is decorated with a double pair of wings and a painted back showing the Last Judgment . The predella is equipped with another pair of wings. When fully open, the shrine shows a copy of the so-called Menzinger Madonna from around 1500, the original of which is kept in the Bavarian National Museum in Munich, flanked by four angels in the side panels.
The wing reliefs show the Annunciation to Mary and the birth of Christ (left) as well as the Visitation of the Virgin Mary and the Adoration of the Magi (right), in the predella a relief with the death of Mary and on the wings reliefs with the Coronation of Mary and a Madonna in a protective cloak .
When the inner pair of wings is closed, eight panel images are visible: in the upper line Joachim in the temple, the rejection of his victim, the Annunciation to Joachim and the encounter under the Golden Gate, in the lower line the Birth of Mary , her temple passage , her marriage to Joseph , and the holy clan with the dating.
The completely closed retable shows the panel paintings of the Mother of God and Saints Katharina , Dorothea and Martin on the left and Barbara , Georg and Florian on the right.
The north side altar is a work of the late 15th century. In the shrine, St. Agathe from around 1450 and St. Catherine from the end of the 15th century are depicted. The images of the wings and their reliefs are heavily supplemented or completely renewed and show scenes of the Passion of Christ and saints on the outside.
The southern, in 1865 , donated , neo-Gothic side altar shows sculptures with depictions of saints John the Evangelist from the mid-15th century, John the Baptist , a holy bishop and the Emperor Henry , all from the late 15th century.
A carved figure of St. George from around 1480 is attached to the north wall of the nave and a figure of the Mother of God from around 1860 by Anselm Sickinger is attached to the south wall .
On the north wall of the choir is the sacrament house and on the south wall there is a stone relief depicting Mary in the ear of ears from the second half of the 15th century.
The organ is the work of an unknown organ builder from around 1790, which was restored by Anton Staller .
