location
The easted church is located in the middle of the village at the intersection of the two main streets Dorfstraße and Stockheimer Straße. The old cemetery is in the enclosed part of the churchyard, the new cemetery about 150 meters southwest of it.
history
The place was first mentioned in 1084. There was probably already a church there at that time. The Reichsministeriale Eberhard von Schönegg sold the right of patronage and his goods in the village in 1283 the monastery of Steingaden in the Bishop Hartwig of Augsburg Church a year later incorporated . The core of the current building is likely to date from the 15th century; it was remodeled in the baroque period. On the east side of the choir arch is the date 1678, which could indicate the beginning of the Baroque era. A painter from Oberdorf received a final payment of 14 florins in 168 for major renovation work, especially on the tower. The church was redesigned for 289 guilders and 28 kreuzers in 1772. A new ceiling was put in, Franz Xaver Bernhard from Eggenthal created the frescoes and the altars were repaired. On the choir arch there used to be the chronogram “HeILIge Margarita, received Vns getreVe, Subordinate Irsinger In godly graD”. When the ceiling collapsed in 1842, the structure received a new roof. A new high altar painting was purchased in 1854. In 1873 the church was structurally repaired and completely redesigned inside. Three new altars, a pulpit and other furnishings by the carpenter Zick from Pfaffenhausen based on a design by the architect Schröder from Munich were purchased. The church received a new organ in 1881 by the organ builder Balthasar Pröbstle from Füssen . The interior was repainted in 1902. In 1920 new pipes were inserted into the organ. A thorough restoration and new fittings gave the church a largely modern look in 1946. The exterior was restored in 1956. It is currently in a critical structural condition.

The church consists of the retracted choir with two bays and a three-sided end with a late Gothic stab cap barrel and the nave . The wall is divided by Tuscan pilasters without bases. There are arched windows in the inclined axes and in the east axis of the south side. In the west axis of the south side of the choir, a rectangular door leads to the sacristy , above which a window is walled up as a screen. At the top it is broken through by a rectangular oratory window. Opposite the sacristy door is the door to the tower . A round-arched sacrament niche in the east axis of the north wall is closed with an openwork iron door from the 17th century, which adorns a heart of Jesus, a chalice and a Jesus monogram as well as arabesque-like tendrils. The choir arch jumps in and is closed in a pointed arch. The year 1678 is affixed to the east side.
The nave is a three-axis hall with retracted arched windows and a flat ceiling from the 18th century. There is a hemmed haunch over the sloping profiles . The rectangular door at the west end of the south wall has an arched cover on the inside. In the west there is a modern, one-story wooden gallery with the organ.
On the outside of the choir there are buttresses with two water hammer . The base is led around the buttresses, and there is a coffin cornice halfway up . The walls are stepped about a meter below the eaves. They are grooved below the desk cover, as is the eaves cornice. The ends of the long walls of the nave carry pilaster strips and a grooved eaves cornice , which the west gable slopes also have.
The tower in the northern corner of the choir and nave has a square floor plan. The ground floor has a flat barrel vault with deep lancet caps in the east and west, which almost looks like a cross vault . The lower part of the tower includes the first two floors with a newer ashlar in rough plaster. In the upper part there are corner pilaster strips, under the top floor overlapping round arches form a frieze that is missing on the west side. The top floor has coupled pointed arch arcades, in the west only a small pointed arch opening. A strip cornice is attached to the eaves and the gable soles. According to Swabian tradition, the tower has a gable roof . The gables have a transverse cornice with a round dial in between. Another dial is attached under the arched frieze. In the lower part hangs a crucifix on the east side .
The sacristy in the southern corner of the choir and nave was probably added at the end of the 17th century. The two-story building with a cornice cornice and a hipped roof has small rectangular windows in the south and east and a door to the right of the east window.
The sign on the south side probably comes from the same construction phase as the sacristy. It stands on two pillars and two pilasters with a cornice. It is opened to the east by a wide arcade and to the south by a narrow arcade arch. Inside it has a flat groin vault . The west side contains a glazed, arched niche with a neo-Gothic grave Christ at knee height and above it a glazed, arched and cross barrel vaulted Mount of Olives niche. On the back wall is the capture of Christ, painted on wood, from the 18th century. The sign and the niches have profiled cornices and hipped roofs .
Furnishing
The ceiling fresco in the choir, painted in 1958 by Paul Ferling from Kaufbeuren , shows Jesus as the judge of the world, surrounded by the evangelist symbols . The gallery paintings depicting rural life and bearing the inscription “Ora et Labora” are also by Paul Ferling. The choir stalls in the north-west corners of the choir date from the 18th century. Only the front parapet was renewed. A painting on the west wall from the second half of the 17th century shows Jesus washing the feet on Maundy Thursday . The procession pole dates from the middle of the 18th century and is equipped with a wooden figure of the risen Christ in a housing in the form of a rocailles frame.
Altars
The high altar is designed simply. The stipes made of marbled wood carries the tabernacle made of gilded wood with a modern crucifix in a niche with two flanking columns. Two angels kneel next to them. Two figures flank the high altar picture of the patron saint of the church, St. Margaret.
The flat side altars each have a stone stipe. The northern one with a statue of the Sacred Heart is crowned by the Jesus monogram "IHS". Two flanking reliefs show scenes from the life of Jesus. The southern side altar bears a modern Immaculate with a rosary and star wreath in the middle and is crowned by the monogram of Mary. Reliefs show the annunciation scene , the birth of Jesus in the stable of Bethlehem , the five-year-old Jesus in the temple and the flight into Egypt .
organ
The one-manual predecessor organ from the end of the 19th century had eight stops and pneumatic pocket drawers . After the Second World War, the wooden pipes were infested with woodworms , and the instrument's wind bellows were defective. Orgelbau Zeilhuber created a new instrument called Opus 93 in 1960, which is controlled via an electric cone chest. The case and a large part of the metal pipework were taken over from the previous organ. The prospectus is characterized by three large round-arched pipe fields, the middle of which is finished with a gold-plated rosette. The profiled cornice between corner pilasters extends to the church ceiling. Due to the expansion, another part of the pipework was housed on the right in an extension that extends to the north wall and whose three large rectangular sound openings are decorated with latticework. The free-standing gaming table is right in front of it . The 17 registers are divided between two manuals and the pedal. The disposition is:
