Tower of the parish church of St. Johann

The parish church of St. Johann (also St. Johannes ) is the largest church in the large district town of Erding in Bavaria in Germany .

The church is a late Gothic , three-aisled brick building by the Landshut Building School with a bell tower set off about five meters to the east (see web link).

history

Construction began, instead of an old baptistery, probably at the end of the 14th century . The choir was completed between 1410 and 1420. After the nave was completed, the church was consecrated in 1464. Choir arch crucifix by Hans Leinberger around 1525.

After damage in the Thirty Years' War and the fire of 1648, the church was rebuilt in the Baroque style from 1668 to 1689 . The Gothic vault ribs were replaced by stucco ornaments. The Gothic altars were lost except for a few sculptures.

Another renovation, this time in the neo-Gothic style , took place from 1880 to 1882, in the age of historicism . The baroque stucco was removed and the vault was provided with Gothic cross ribs . The altars were also redesigned, using some of the valuable sculptures. A picture of the baroque interior and the high altar can be seen in the Erdinger Heimatmuseum. In 1891 St. John's Church became the city parish; until then Erding belonged to the parish Altenerding. In 1898 the renovation was completed with the restoration of the outer walls and the church windows.

After the damage caused by the Second World War had been repaired in 1948, the interior of the church was partially restored between 1952 and 1957. From 1976 onwards, necessary repairs to the exterior masonry and the church interior were carried out.

Bell tower

The bell tower, separated from the church, dates from the end of the 14th century. This was probably the case from the beginning, as the legend of the “Erdinger tower slide” indicates. The baroque domed roof on the 46 m high, eight-story tower was built by Paul Gunetzrainer in 1651. The church tower was also the city tower, from which a tower guard warned the population of fire and other dangers. The guard had his official apartment on the top floor, which was still inhabited until 1945. As part of guided tours, the tower can be climbed up to this 35 m high tower room as a lookout tower . From here there is a good view over Erding and the surrounding area to Munich , and in foehn weather even as far as the Alps .

In addition, the tower houses a six-part bronze bell in minor - major (a 0 –c 1 –d 1 –e 1 –g 1 –a 1 ), which is suspended in a steel bell cage. The five large bells come from the Erdinger bell foundry (Czudnochowsky). Every Saturday at 3 p.m. the four-part major motif c 1 –d 1 –e 1 –g 1 heralds in the Sunday for five minutes. Before solemnities the deep is a 0 - Bell added taken.
