architecture
Exterior construction
The east-facing hall church consists of a four-bay nave , to which a seven-sided choir closure is attached. The exterior is structured by arched window openings and white pilaster strips that stand out against the subtle yellow tone of the walls. In the apex of the choir there is only a small, circular ox eye . The four-storey tower jumps out on the west side, which dates back to the Romanesque style epoch and, according to the concept of the fortified church that was often used at the time, has masonry more than two meters thick. On the top floor it has coupled acoustic arcades on each side . A gable roof enclosed between two stepped gables forms the upper end . The two gable surfaces each contain a tower clock ; on the north side there is a third dial of the tower clock below the sound openings. In the rear nave yoke, instead of a window, there is the war memorial with a crucifix above it.
inner space
The interior of the church is accessed through the ground floor of the tower. It is spanned by a flat barrel vault with stitch caps that rests on multiple pilasters with heavily profiled capitals . An organ gallery has been inserted in the rear nave yoke , which rests on two massive, square columns.
Furnishing
Altars
The classicistic stucco marble altars of the Hebramsdorf parish church are said to come from the parish churches in Dech Betten and Stadtamhof. The high altar is only partially preserved, of the structure only the base and predella zone as well as the cafeteria and the richly decorated and gilded tabernacle with exposure niche . It is flanked by two worshiping angels and by busts of Saint Emmeram (left) with a palm branch and ladder and Stephen (right) with a palm branch and a book with stones. On a pedestal above the tabernacle there is a silver-plated sculpture of the Lamb of God on the book with the seven seals , which is surrounded by a golden halo. The altar panel is attached to the inner wall of the apex of the choir, although it is not documented whether this originally belonged to the lower altar structure. The painting is set in a gilded frame with a curved contour , which is decorated with flower garlands and shell work. It shows the patronage depiction of the baptism of Jesus by John in the Jordan . Above it is the already mentioned round window, a so-called ox-eye. Therein one is Holy spirit mounted dove in the halo which is illuminated by the morning sun, above it a bust of the Father with the orb and the equilateral triangle as a symbol of the Holy Trinity , exterior decorated with foliage and flowers ornaments. The side figures of the high altar stand on separate pedestals and represent the Saints Joseph of Nazareth (left) and Joachim (right).
The two side altars, the structure of which is probably completely intact, are designed as counterparts . Both have an arched figural niche in the middle and two round columns tapering towards the top, which support a profiled entablature that is cranked forwards on the sides. Instead of an altar extract, there is a carved foliage with floral ornaments at the top . The left side altar shows a baroque statue of the martyrdom of St. Sebastian from the 18th century and above it a cartouche with the Jesus monogram IHS . A figure of the Mother of God with child can be seen on the southern (right) side altar ; both are crowned. Mary holds the scepter in her right hand , in her left the Infant Jesus, who carries a gold ball on the right. The upper end of the altar is a cartouche with a Marian monogram .
Other equipment
A large choir arch crucifix hangs from the choir head , which was carved by Landshut sculptor Jonas Hiernle in 1692 for the Franciscan monastery church in Landshut. After this was broken off in the course of secularization in 1802 , the parish of Hebramsdorf acquired the crucifix along with some figures and other pieces of equipment. The pulpit on the first nave pilaster on the Gospel side is comparatively simple and consists only of an octagonal pulpit, which is decorated with volute pilasters on the edges , and a straight staircase. The church stalls have simple carved cheeks with a quatrefoil ornament . In the nave there is a large ceiling painting with a curved stucco frame . The lower half of the picture shows the beheading of John the Baptist , the upper half shows how John is received by the Holy Trinity when he is taken into heaven. God the Father and God the Son sit on clouds; above it hovers the dove of the Holy Spirit. Below this scene, John is lifted up to heaven on another cloud.
In the shell niches that are embedded in the pilasters on the wall, there are numerous other figures of saints, including Barbara , Johannes Nepomuk , Joseph, Judas Thaddäus , Katharina , Laurentius , Leonhard , Sebastian and Stephanus. On the south wall of the nave there is an epitaph made of Solnhofen limestone , which is dedicated to Franz Xaver von Maffei auf Ettenkofen († 1754). The year of death is hidden as a chronogram in the first four lines of text. The grave slab is also decorated with a coat of arms and a crest.
The fourteen cross-way panels in simple, carved frames are attached to the side walls as well as to the gallery parapet. Also noteworthy is a high-quality, baroque Pietà from around 1730, south of the organ gallery. A group of figures depicting the baptism of Jesus on the opposite side, also below the gallery, is a further indication of the church patronage. On the back wall there is a painting of the so-called Sebastian care: Saint Irene pulls the arrows out of the martyr's body and nurses him back to health.
