Also dedicated to St. Georg , the predecessor church, an early Gothic choir tower church , is said to have been built under the local nobility Engelhard von Dolling (1259–1261 Bishop of Eichstätt ) and consecrated by him. With a length of 19 meters and a width of ten meters, it only offered space for 24 church chairs and was considered too small by the 18th century at the latest. The church tower, which was demolished in 1793 because of dilapidation and rebuilt in a different location in front of the portal, collapsed in December of the same year and was erected a second time at the same location. The two bells were melted down in 1894.

Since the church turned out to be dilapidated and too small in 1870, plans for the construction of a new and larger church were drawn up in 1874 and 1876, but they were never implemented. When the cemetery around the church was closed in 1885, a larger area was created for a new building. From 1895 to 1897, pastor Andreas Bücherl (* 7 April 1838; since 1891 in Oberdolling; there † 14 April 1901) after the previous church was demolished, today's spacious church was built in the same place. Architect Johann Baptist Schott from Munich created the plan . The builder was Magnus Wieser from Kelheim . The foundation stone was laid on April 24, 1895. The consecration was carried out by the Regensburg Bishop Ignatius von Senestrey on May 8, 1897. The current church tower was also rebuilt with the nave.

The parish has always included the village of Unterdolling with the St. Stephan branch church, as well as Hagenstetten , Harlanden (since 1880) and Sankt Lorenzi (formerly Appersdorf), which contributed to the financing of the parish church through pension payments. As early as 1374, Bettbrunn was parish from Oberdolling and raised to its own parish.

The last local pastor was the Episcopal Spiritual Councilor Johann Hundsdorfer (* April 22, 1928, † December 12, 2008).

Building description

The four-axis hall church in neo-Romanesque style has a retracted, semicircular closed choir with cross-ribbed barrel , the nave spans a flat ceiling with beams. The square church tower to the north by the choir has three floors; on the third floor there are sound openings on all four sides. All four gables are provided with dials. The two-story sacristy is attached to the south of the choir.

Furnishing

A new interior with three altars and a pulpit was purchased for the new building in 1896. The walls were painted with ornaments and frescoes in the Nazarene style . The Georg Bachmair bell foundry in Ingolstadt created four bells .

When the interior was redesigned in 1962, the painting was removed by removing the plaster, and the pulpit from 1896 also disappeared, and the altars from that time were replaced by baroque creations from an abandoned monastery church in Neuburg an der Donau . The hanging in the chancel arch crucifix was integrated into the six-columned high altar, under the Cross is a figure of the church's patron saint. The southern side altar shows a painting with St. Rochus , in front of it a statue of the Sacred Heart. On the north side altar, the painting depicts St. Paul represents; in front of it there is a statue of the Mother of God. In 1997 a statue of Mother Anna was donated, a work by an artist from South Tyrol. Both side altar leaves were painted by Johann Kaspar Sing in 1714; they are considered "significant". The way of the cross from 1896, a donation from the postman at the time, was preserved during the renovation through the use of the sacristan, although a modern way of the cross was hung for a while. The statue of St. Josef on the right in the choir room is a foundation by Pastor Hundsdorfer. During a further renovation in 1984, the colored church windows were moved from the choir to the nave.

On the inside of the southern wall of the choir, next to the entrance to the sacristy, an early Gothic, "very raw" stone relief, probably from the 13th century, is walled in, which is regarded as the remainder of a tympanum of the previous church and probably shows the church donor how he or she gave the sacred building to the bishop Church patron offers. The relief was on the old church on the southern outer wall.

On the ground floor of the tower, a partially destroyed Roman tombstone without an inscription is walled into the eastern inner wall, which shows three relief figures (couple with child?).

On the inside of the nave walls, grave monuments by von Hegnenberg from 1694, 1697 and 1786 are immured; the barons of Hegnenberg owned the Hofmark Oberdolling since 1692. Another gravestone commemorates the Jesuit Friederich Roman Gebhard , doctor of theology and pastor of Oberdolling, † January 17, 1803.
