The neo-Gothic church in Haslach from 1875

The Roman Catholic branch church of St. John the Baptist in Haslach, a district of the municipality of Au in der Hallertau in the Upper Bavarian district of Freising , was built in 1875 as a neo-Gothic brick building and consecrated in 1879. It is a protected architectural monument of the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation with the file number D-1-78-116-28.

history

The church in Haslach was mentioned for the first time in 1590 in a visitation protocol. From earlier records it emerges that the parish of Rudelzhausen owned seven “Zuekirchen” , including the Haslach branch church, which belonged to this parish until 1967. When the independence of the community was dissolved, was carried out at the request of citizens, the Umpfarrung in the parish Au in der Hallertau .

Building

The church is a new building from 1875, which was necessary because the old church was too damp and too limited in space. Since the church foundation had a lot of assets, it was able to cover the entire cost from its own resources. In 1875 the foundation stone was laid with master builder Karl Stopfer from Rottenburg an der Laaber . Two and a half years later a benediction could take place, the actual consecration took place on May 12, 1879 by the Regensburg bishop Ignatius of Senestrey .

The church was whitewashed with a crimson color in 1937 and the glaring white frame of the window reveals was only reversed in 1977 with the exterior renovation. The brick building was restored to its original appearance. In 1992 the entire interior was restored, including the reconstruction of the former painting. A folk altar designed in neo-Gothic style was also erected that year.

Furnishing

The furnishings are uniformly neo-Gothic. The paintings and altars essentially date from around 1877 and were created by Michael Mayer and Paul Weiss from Landshut. The retracted choir with ribbed vault is painted in a neo-Gothic style. The altars are a kind of ensemble because they are built and set in the same way and contain beautiful figures of saints. A high-quality group of late Nazarene sculptures is the wall cross with body on the southern nave wall, under which a Mater Dolorosa stands. The pulpit also goes well with the rest of the furnishings, which are harmoniously complemented by the gallery and the wooden ceiling in cassette form with stencil painting .
