History and description of the building

The Auer Church of St. Martin probably already existed around 1150, as the names of priests in Au are noted in records from that time. It initially belonged as a branch church to the original parish of Elbach and was first mentioned in 1390 when it came to the Scheyern Monastery . In 1498 it was elevated to a parish church with the branch churches Lippertskirchen, Feilnbach, Wiechs, Litzldorf and Kleinholzhausen. After the foundation of the “Archbruderschaft Mariä Trost”, a new building was built on the site of the late Gothic church. It was built in 1706 by the master builder Abraham Millauer based on a design by the architect Wolfgang Dientzenhofer in the Baroque style, although the late Gothic tower was initially kept unchanged. It was not until 1736 that he received a pointed helmet .

Architecturally, it is a hall building with a semicircular closed choir and a stab cap barrel . The stucco with acanthus tendrils, cartouches, rosettes, etc. comes from the time it was built. The ceiling painting was created in 1864 by the Munich painter Thomas Guggenberger .
From 2016 to 2018 the church was thoroughly restored inside and out.

Interior

The altars date from the time it was built. In the main altar is a tabernacle that was created by Joseph Götsch (1728–1791) around 1783 . The main altar painting with the church patron was created in 1912. In the left side altar is the painting “Mother of Beautiful Love”, below are the hll. Benedict and Scholastica depicted with the Auer Church. The right side altar contains over the hll. Augustine and Monika the painting “Mariä Trost”. The Way of the Cross was built around 1735. A crucifix from the previous church probably dates from around 1600 and a baptismal font made of red marble from the 17th century.
