St. Mary's Birth (Eschlbach)
The parish church of St. Mary's Birth in Eschlbach , a district of the municipality of Bockhorn in the district of Erding ( Upper Bavaria ), is a church with rococo furnishings.
Along with St. John the Baptist (Oppolding) and St. Bartholomäus (Hörgersdorf), it is one of the three best-known Rococo churches in the Erding district. All three are less than five kilometers apart.
Building
In 1679/80 the late Gothic hall church (around 1500) was rebuilt by Hans Kogler from Erding, the upper part of the tower was completed by his son Anton Kogler . The three-sided, retracted choir has triangular buttresses . The west tower has an articulated square top and an onion dome .
Furnishing
The ceiling painting in the choir from 1765 represents the so-called Great Litany : Mary recommends the prayers of humanity, Christ and God the Father. Three altars and the pulpit are in rococo forms. The high altar by Matthias Fackler , around 1765, is made of intertwined rocaille shapes without any tectonic structure . In the middle there is an almost life-size Regina coeli .
The asymmetrical side altars made of stucco marble come from Johann Anton Pader . The pulpit was designed by Matthias Fackler with a rounded, rocaille-studded basket and a grille-like perforated sound cover .
renovation
In 1961 a renovation took place.
