The old Catholic parish church , today a branch church of St. Jakob in Unterpfaffenhofen , a district of Germering in the Upper Bavarian district of Fürstenfeldbruck , was built around 1500 on the site of a Romanesque predecessor church. The church, which is consecrated to the Apostle James the Elder , is one of the protected architectural monuments in Bavaria.

history

During excavations under today's church, a Roman hypocaust and the foundations of a Romanesque church building were discovered. The brickwork of the eastern nave was erected over Romanesque tufa blocks. The choir and tower were built around 1500. At the end of the 17th century, the church was redesigned in the Baroque style and the nave ceiling was fitted with a stucco frame. In 1740 the nave was extended and the sacristy and an arena were added on the south side . At the same time the church was decorated in the Rococo style . In 1902 the nave was extended further.

inner space

In the southern corner of the choir stands the Gothic bell tower , which is covered with a gable roof . The outer staircase of the pulpit is built between the tower and the sign. The single nave nave is flat-roofed. The retracted, three-sided closed choir has a reticulated vault , the ribs of which rest on consoles that were decorated with angels' heads during the baroque redesign of the church.

Furnishing

  • The high altar comes as the side altars, the pews and the pulpit from the period of Rococo . The altarpiece by Max Bernatz from 1898 depicts Our Lady with the baby Jesus. The figures of the apostle James the Elder and St. Barbara stand above the passageways .
  • The two figures of St. Catherine and St. Margaret on the north side altar date from the Rococo period. The altarpiece with the depiction of the Lamentation of Christ was executed in the Nazarene style by Georg Lacher around 1860 . The half-figure on the Altarmensa represents the apostle Andrew with his X-shaped cross.
  • The picture of the southern side altar, also painted by Georg Lacher, has the stoning of St. Stephen as its theme. It is flanked by the Rococo sculptures of the two saints of the plague , St. Sebastian pierced by arrows and St. Rochus of Montpellier , who points to his wound. The half-length figure of the apostle Simon can be seen on the altar mess, who can be recognized by his attribute , the saw.
  • The pulpit has a marbled wood basket with a gilded grape hanging from the bottom.
  • The two assistant figures , Maria and Johannes, of the crucifixion group on the north wall of the nave are from the late Gothic period. The crucifix is dated to the 16th or 17th century.
