The patronage of the Franconian state saint Martin suggests that the previous church was very old. From the Gothic building of 1527 nor the church tower testifies. The core of the nave was built before 1735. It was lengthened by one yoke to the west around 1820 . At the beginning of the 20th century, the sign was added and the sacristy on the square ground floor was raised hexagonally.

Building description

The single-aisle nave made of plastered quarry stone is around 20 meters long and almost ten meters wide; In the baroque construction phase it has three window axes with high arched windows, a cross oval window in the north and a stitch arch window in the south of the western extension from 1908. Two smaller cross oval windows are located in the lower field of the west gable, which is divided by two triple stepped cornices . The almost square floor plan of the low-looking tower attached to the east with a gable roof , ogival sound openings divided into two by columns and a tower clock measures around eight by eight meters. The sacristy attached to the tower in the north has a floor plan of around eight by four meters. The sign on the west side of the nave measures two by four meters in plan. The choir is located in the basement of the tower and is illuminated by a arched window on the south side. The choir arch is arched. The nave ceiling is vaulted . In the west there is a double gallery with the organ.

Furnishing

The ceiling frescoes of the nave show the Mother of God (main fresco), the awarding of the scapular to St. Simon Stock (fresco east of the main fresco) and the handover of the keys by Christ to Peter (west fresco); they were made by “C. Murmann ”from Eichstätt 1735 (after Dehio by Johann Dominikus Murmann). The green-on-green grisailles around the colored ceiling frescoes show biblical figures and scenes. The stucco by an unknown hand of latticework, acanthus , flowers and fruit baskets was created at the same time.

Around 1735, the double-column high altar with the altarpiece of the church patron and the carved Trinity accompanied by angels in the extract was created. Figures of the apostles Philip and James stand above the side passages . Among the chancel arch is a popular altar erected.

The two double-columned side altars, "moving rococo structures", date from the middle of the 18th century. On the north is a carved Mother of Sorrows under the cross, flanked by wooden busts of St. Notburga and St. John of Nepomuk , in the excerpt a figure of St. Wendelin . On the side of the altar facing the choir is a life-size figure of St. Sebastian . On the south side altar is a carved crescent Madonna flanked by busts of St. Joachim and St. Anna , as well as in the extract of St. To see Leonhard . The side figure facing the choir represents St. Rochus .

The pulpit from the end of the 17th century has a polygonal body painted with the four evangelists and provided with corner pillars and a sound cover with a trumpet angel .

On the nave walls, the twelve apostles are shown in life size in a stuccoed frame; Painted by Joseph Albrecht in 1908 . On the south wall of the nave there is a crucifixion group from the beginning of the 18th century, "the primitive corpus of Christ older, perhaps still Gothic". The Way of the Cross is considered to be “popular work of the 18th century”.

All figures are colored.

Parish history

The right of patronage was held by the Counts of Lechsgemünd-Graisbach and - as their successors - the Dukes of Bavaria. 1393 gave Duke Stephan III. this right to Thierhaupten Monastery .

From 1560 to 1619 inhabitants Daitings as country kids were Neuburg Protestant ; the duke there now presented the pastor. The re-Catholicization was carried out by the Jesuits. In 1620 the parish received a Catholic priest again for the first time. In 1706 a Scapular Brotherhood was founded with the approval of the bishop . Augsburg episcopal files from 1775 mention an otherwise unknown "ruined St. Peter's Church", which probably stood on the Kappel-Buck and of which there are no more remains.

In the 19th century, the parish belonged to the Burgheim regional chapter in the diocese of Augsburg and in 1823 had 604 "souls". Today it has 514 Catholics and belongs to the Donauwörth deanery .
