St. Georg (Pöring)
The Catholic branch church St. Georg is a monument in Pöring near Zorneding .
history
Pöring was first mentioned in a document in 885. Probably already existed a the St. George consecrated church or chapel. In 1315 the subsidiary church of St. George was mentioned for the first time in the registers . This building was probably much smaller than the current one, as can be deduced from the remains of buildings. In 1632 and 1648 Pöring was attacked by the Swedes during the Thirty Years' War . This led to the impoverishment of the population and the decline of the church. In 1678 a new tower was built. The owners of the noble residence in Pöring , Johann Paul Freiherr von Millau and his wife Katharina Franziska Ligsalz, had the very dilapidated church torn down except for the tower in 1696 and rebuilt it at their own expense. It was consecrated on June 15, 1707 by the Freising Prince-Bishop Johann Franz Eckher . The builder of the new building is not known. Due to the hillside location and clay soil, damage repeatedly occurred in the following centuries and a large number of renovation work was necessary over time . The building was closed from 1977 to 1979 due to the risk of collapse. A comprehensive renovation followed, in which the citizens of Pöring also participated. In 1981/82 the main altar was restored and in 1996 the roof structure was extensively renovated.
Building description
_Innenraum_1.jpg)
St. George is a high barrel-vaulted baroque hall with a retracted apse and an attached two-storey sacristy . The 24-meter-high west tower with onion dome is four-sided over two floors and octagonal over two floors. The side walls in the interior are divided by seven pilasters each, which merge at the top with the wall bands of the vault. On each side there are five arched windows with oculi above. The stitch caps over the arched windows are decorated with Miesbacher stucco in the chancel. On the west side there is a two-storey gallery supported by thin columns. The twelve apostles with Jesus are depicted on the visible side (1883).
Furnishing
High altar
_Hochaltar.jpg)
Of the original three altars, only the high altar remains, the builder of which is unknown. This consists of two parts offset from one another. Next to the tabernacle are two figures; presumably they represent Saints Stephen and Laurentius. On the altar there are figures of the two Saints John, the Baptist on the left and the Evangelist on the right . The rear part of the altar shows a cartouche above the altarpiece, on which “Altare Privilegium Ver. IV "stands. This refers to a privilege that a mass at this altar is associated with a perfect indulgence which can be turned to a deceased. The altarpiece, framed by four pillars, is by Johann Baptist Unterstainer and depicts St. George fighting the dragon. Six putti above look at what is happening and an angel offers a palm branch as a heavenly reward. The superstructure is also framed by four columns. The painting shows a heart with a crown of thorns, a cross and a dove above. Next to it are four putti and below five flaming hearts. It is supposed to symbolize the love of the triune God and the love of God and neighbor. Two baroque angels sit on the volutes . The 8.40 meter high altar ends with a halo with the IHS symbol .
The Pöringer Madonna
The figure of the Virgin , created around 1400, is considered an outstanding Gothic work in the region. The heavily neglected figure was extensively restored in 2003/04. The original coloring was reconstructed and the colors and painting technique were based on the original. The crown is no longer preserved and was added in Gothic style. Presumably the figure of Mary originally held a scepter in its left hand .
More figures
In place of the earlier side altar there is a late Gothic Madonna Immaculata from around 1480. The figure was preserved in 2004.
In place of the right side altar there is a baroque depiction of St. Anna with baby Jesus. It was created around 1700 by an unknown artist and is considered a good carving work. This figure was also restored in 2004. The surrounding angel figures come from the side altars.
The age of the cross on the south wall is unknown. The mater dolorosa and the two angels come from the side altars.
The cross in the choir arch is from around 1600.
A valuable, late Gothic figure of St. George is in the upper sacristy room. It was created around 1550 and originally stood on an outer wall niche above the entrance to the church.
A processional pole with a figure of St. George is from the beginning of the 18th century.
Epitaphs
Two renaissance tablets presumably show Christoph Mendt, who had owned the noble seat since 1603, in front of St. Christopher and his son Hans Sigmund Mendt in front of St. George.
The oldest grave slab for Erasmus Kunthendorfer († 1404) is in the front left under the window. The grave slab on the front right is for the Mendt couple with the Mendt and Wagnereckher coat of arms.
organ

A mechanical organ from 1847 with one manual and seven registers was replaced in 1953/54 by a new instrument from master organ builder Alois Wölfl from Unterflossing near Mühldorf with 2 manuals, 16 registers and 1135 pipes . The organ is dedicated to the memory of those who fell in World War II .
Bells
The three bells of the church ring in G sharp-B-C sharp. The two larger ones are from 1949 and weigh 8 and 5 quintals. These replaced the predecessors that were melted down in the two world wars. The smallest bell is from 1925.
Further equipment
Between the sacristy door and the oratory there is a baroque painting of the resurrection of Christ from the time it was built.

The pulpit is decorated with the pictures of the four evangelists. The Good Shepherd is depicted on the back wall.
The entrance and sacristy doors are from the time it was built and have a complex locking system. The associated key is 20 cm long.
The Gothic stoup made of red marble next to the church door comes from the previous church.
