St. Jakob (Frontenhausen)
The Roman Catholic parish church of St. Jakob is a Gothic brick church in Frontenhausen in the district of Dingolfing-Landau in Lower Bavaria . It belongs to the parish of St. Jakob in the deanery Frontenhausen-Pilsting of the diocese of Regensburg .
History and architecture
The church is a short brick pseudo- basilica that was built at the end of the 15th century using parts of a previous building. It was restored after a fire in 1536. The baroque furnishings from 1683 were removed during a regotization after 1850. In 1936, according to a plan by Heinrich Hauberrisser from Regensburg, the central nave was extended to the west and the north aisle was also extended by a yoke .
Exterior
The sober exterior is made of exposed brickwork. The choir and nave are under a shared gable roof , the side aisles are covered with pent roofs. A coffin cornice, which is drawn around the windows of the aisles as a sill, runs around the building. The west tower from 1646, moved from the central axis , was plastered and is structured with a toothed frieze. After a renovation between 1751 and 1758, the tower was given a pointed helmet .
Interior
The short three-aisled pseudo-basilica is divided into four bays, the just closed side aisles are half the width of the central nave. The three-bay, raised choir ends in a three-eighths ending . In all parts of the church , rib vaults rich in forms determine the impression of the room. The inner pillars with bevelled edges are connected with profiled dividing arches and have fluted shield arches with round services and polygonal capitals on both sides . The enclosing walls of the aisles are structured accordingly. In the side aisles, the vault ribs cut semicircular stilts that rest on the capitals. The vaults of the south aisle were probably renewed in 1536 and show a figuration symmetrical to the transverse axis.
The choir is structured by deep pillar arcades. Round services with polygonal capitals are laid out in front of the ends of the pillars, the vault ribs cut like in the side aisles semicircular stilts. The vault ribs form intricate star shapes that are similar to those in the parish churches of Reisbach and Vilsbiburg . The choir arch and the window frames are finely profiled, the tracery has been renewed.
Furnishing
Older works of art were incorporated into the uniform neo-Gothic furnishings. The high altar was created in 1854 and the side altars in 1857/1858 by Anselm Sickinger from Munich. The side-standing figures of St. Catherine and Barbara are late Gothic carved figures from the 15th century. The pulpit also shows late Gothic bas-reliefs of the four evangelists. The larger-than-life crucifix in the choir arch is dated 1625 on the reverse. In the north aisle there is a glass painting from 1520 depicting Ecce Homo and a kneeling figure by the founder Georg Klingenberger.
The organ is a work by Reinhard Weise Orgelbau from 1987 with 25 stops on two manuals and a pedal .
Among the grave monuments, a Rotmarmorstein from the second half of the 15th century for Konrad Nine Hauser takes († 1451?) With an inscription in Gothic minuscule and coat of arms and crest in midfield. On the southern inner wall of the west building there are Renaissance tombstones in red marble for Caspar Kheller († 1599) and Konrad Mässinger († 1532) with busts of the deceased in period costumes.
