History and architecture
Around 1195 a church was first mentioned in a document at Obing. The church was formerly part of Seeon Abbey . After 1480 a new building was built, which was consecrated in 1491. As early as 1504 the church was destroyed by a roof fire, so that the interior decoration dragged on until around 1520. In 1652, two baroque side altars were added, a gallery altar in 1675 and a rococo high altar in 1747, none of which have survived. The regotization was made in the years 1868–1871 and 1910–1912; In the latter measure, the church was lengthened by two axes to the west, the rib system was renewed and the tower was provided with a pointed spire with four gables. In the years 1986–1988 the church was restored in the version from 1912. The stately three-aisled hall church of five bays is provided with a choir in the width of the central nave and the tower in the northern choir corner. The ashlar construction is made of Nagelfluh and boulder granite. The tower is structured with ribbon cornices. A net vault on round pillars without capitals and in the choir on bust consoles completes the room. The central nave is considerably wider than the side aisles, and the choir is higher than the nave. Two storeys closed with net vaults have been drawn into the tower.
Furnishing
The furnishings from 1870 were created by the Munich sculptor Johann Wirth and are provided with older, exceptionally high -quality, life-size sculptures, including a standing Virgin Mary and Saints Laurentius and James the Elder from around 1515/1520 in the high altar, which were made by the master von Rabenden can be attributed to the original version, which was restored in 1988.
Saint Joseph is depicted in the neo-Gothic shrine of the north side altar . Reliefs of St. Anne and St. Joachim can be seen on the open wings, and St. Sebastian in the altar extract . The figures come from Wirth.
The late Gothic figures of the holy bishops Benno and Rupert can be seen on the southern side altar . These carved figures from around 1520 were created by various masters. The opened altar wings show reliefs of St. Genoveva and Catherine . The figure of Saint Leonhard in the altar extract comes from Wirth in 1871. A choir arch cross dates from around 1515/1520, but was not created by the master von Rabenden. The red marble baptismal font also belongs to the late Gothic period.
The organ in a five-part organ brochure by Wirth with a central sculpture of King David playing harp is a work by Max Maerz from 1871 with originally 19 stops on two manuals and pedal . The Carl Schuster & Sons company expanded the disposition to 25 registers and converted the movement to a cone store with an electric action .
The older bells were destroyed in a lightning strike in 1703. In 1709 the bells were partly re-cast and partly recast. During the regotisation in 1871, a new bell was acquired, which was replaced by a bell with four bells (cega) from the Erdinger foundry by Karl Czudnochowski from 1950 after the war-related delivery .
The neo-Gothic also includes the richly carved choir stalls and confessionals, the lay stalls with old house names and the Way of the Cross from 1870. All pillar figures are works from the last quarter of the 19th century. Several gravestones of priests are embedded in the floor, but due to wear and tear, they can no longer be identified.
The older goldsmith's work includes a goblet by the Augsburg master Gregor Leider from the middle of the 17th century, an early rococo goblet from a master AS and a rococo monstrance by Georg Ignaz Bauer from Augsburg from around 1760.
