St. Jakob (Mammendorf)
The Catholic parish church of St. Jakob in Mammendorf , a municipality in the Upper Bavarian district of Fürstenfeldbruck , is essentially a Romanesque hall church that was renovated in the late Gothic style in the 15th century . At the end of the 18th century, the church was redesigned in the classicist style, and its uniform classicist furnishings have been preserved to this day. The church, which is consecrated to the Apostle James the Elder , is one of the protected architectural monuments in Bavaria.
history
In the 11th century, the Mammendorfer Church was first mentioned in the traditions of the Hochstift Freising in connection with donations. As can be seen from excavations, the walls of the nave and the choir date from around 1200.
At the beginning of the 15th century, parts of the old church were demolished and rebuilt. On the north side the tower was added, in which Romanesque bricks were also walled up. In 1688 the tower was partially demolished and given an octagonal tower and a flat hood.
After storm damage in 1795, it was decided to extensively redesign the church. The church space was raised, a new nave with a double gallery was built in the west and the church furnishings were almost completely renewed. The four altars , the pulpit , the Way of the Cross , the doors and the pews date from this time. Christian Jorhan carried out the sculpting work, the stucco was created by Johann Michael Sporer from Wessobrunn . Richard Victor Purnickl received the order for the ceiling paintings and the altarpieces.
From 1902 to 1908 the church was extended by two yokes to the west. The stucco and the paintings have been added while maintaining the classicist style.
architecture
The single nave nave is divided into six bays and, like the choir, is covered with a flat needle cap barrel. The retracted choir, closed on three sides, is divided into three-quarter columns in stucco marble with composite capitals , the nave has Ionic pillars with high beams .

Two lead glass windows from the Mayer'schen Hofkunstanstalt are installed in the choir . They represent the Archangel Michael and a mother of God with baby Jesus.
Furnishing
- The high altar and the two side altars, like the pulpit, were made from stucco marble in the classicism style by Johann Michael Sporer .
- The pulpit is accessible via an external staircase. The gold-plated relief on the pulpit with the depiction of the Emmaus disciples comes from Christian Jorhan the Elder . The sound cover is crowned by tablets of the law and angel sputtles, one of them holds a cornucopia with roses in his hands.
- In the cross chapel on the south side of the nave there is a late Gothic baptismal font made of red marble.
- The figures of the apostles on the walls date from the first half of the 18th century. They are attributed to the environment of the sculpture workshop of Lorenz and Johann Luidl .
