_Winter_01.jpg)
The St. Margareth branch church in the Großnöbach district of the Fahrenzhausen community in the Freising district is a small church building, the rectangular choir part of which dates from the High Middle Ages, but which has been rebuilt and changed many times. The church is a protected architectural monument .
history
The place and the church were first mentioned in the period between 972 and 976 in an exchange document as "Neninpah" . The Church of St. Margareth is also listed in the Konradin register of the year 1315 under the name "Nembach" . Even then it was - as it is today - a branch church of the parish of Haimhausen (today of the parish association Haimhausen-Fahrenzhausen). The historian Hartig assumes that today's choir used to be the lower part of a massive tower. After that it would originally have been a choir tower church .
The nave and the sacristy are from a later period; the exact date is not known. The building was restored in 1719, but 33 years later it was dilapidated again. After the masonry was repaired, the church was given new fittings in 1753.
The 28 meter high tower was built in 1880 after its predecessor from the late Gothic period collapsed. Two bells from more recent times hang in it.
Furnishing

The interior of the church comes from the Rococo . The three altars were either created or heavily redesigned in 1753, the year they were refurbished. The altar leaves are much younger. They come from the time of Nazarene painting in the 19th century.
It is noticeable that in the church many of the fourteen helpers in need are depicted - in pictures and as sculptures.
The high altar is dedicated to the three female helpers in need. On the altar sheet, St. Margaret is shown as the patroness of the church with the defeated dragon at her feet, the two royal children as assistants, St. Barbara with the chalice in her hand, which is a symbol of the last communion given to the dying, and the Saint Catherine , who holds her instrument of torture, the sword, in her left hand and the palm branch of the martyrs in her right hand.
Some of the male helpers in need are shown in a large oil painting that hangs on the south side of the nave, in which Mary hands a rosary to the “peasant saints” Wendelin and Leonhard in the presence of Saints Barbara and Katharina.
The side altars are dedicated to Our Lady (left) and St. Francis Xavier (right). On the oil painting on canvas in Nazarene style painted by Peter Elmer from Freising in 1851/52, Our Lady stands on clouds and presents the viewer with her laughing Baby Jesus. In the altar sheet on the right altar, painted by the painter Rothenfusser from Laufen, St. Francis Xavier stands against a sea background. With his right hand he points to a cross that he is holding in his left. The cross is a reminder of the zeal with which he proclaimed the message of the crucified.
On the side walls of the nave there are figures of Our Lady (with the royal insignia) and of Christ (as Christ the King). Behind it hang pictures of the Way of the Cross . The little church has no organ, just a harmonium.
