Parish Church of St. Martin

The Catholic parish church of St. Martin in Nandlstadt ( Freising district ) is a neo-Gothic hall with a retracted polygonal choir and an attached two-storey sacristy. It was built in 1865, the west tower essentially dates from the end of the 15th century. Together with its furnishings, it is a protected architectural monument with the file number D-1-78-144-16 of the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation .

history

The parish of Nandlstadt was mentioned in writing for the first time in 1315. The church has surely been in town for centuries. Around 815 there was probably already a small previous building, because this year the area around Nandlstadt will be recorded as an inhabited area in the archives for the first time. The fact that St. Martin prevailed as the sole church patron can be traced back to a development at the end of the 18th century. In the previous centuries, St. Martin and St. Johann Baptist shared the patronage.

Remains of the medieval church building

Very little is known about the medieval church building or its possible predecessor buildings. Only a Romanesque tympanum, tiles, a grave slab and the medieval foundations of the tower are relics from the 11th to 16th centuries. Plan drawings of the church building from 1784, which were made in 1862, have been preserved. A hall church is depicted on it, the tower of which ends with an onion dome. The portal, too, with its triangular gables and columns, was very close to a late Baroque design language.

Extension under Pastor Leibig

A major change took place from 1862 onwards. This year the large extension of the Nandlstädter parish church was initiated under the direction of Pastor Philipp Leibig (1861-1903). When work began in 1863, the church interior was expanded to the east and the walls were raised. A neo-Romanesque church was built up to 1865, in keeping with the taste of the time, both inside and out. The inauguration was made by Archbishop Gregor von Scherr (1856–1877) on September 17, 1865. A splendid neo-Romanesque painting was done in 1898/99 by the Munich church painter Ferdinand Seebacher and his son.

Changes in the 20th century

The interior of the parish church was changed as early as 1937. Under Pastor Max Hertle (1935–1955) the walls were whitewashed and two new ceiling paintings were installed. The motif "Christ the King over Nandlstadt" was chosen in the nave, and a representation of the Trinity in the choir room. The neo-Romanesque altars from the 19th century were preserved in the church interior.

In 1961, shortly after the arrival of Pastor Georg Unterstraßer (1959–1963), the altars were removed. In the center of the choir there was a main altar, on the wall behind it a mosaic of Christ as World Judge was attached by the church painter Michael Weingartner; A mosaic of the church patron St. Martin was designed on the wall on the men's side, including a dove on the ambo as a symbol of the Holy Spirit. The ceiling paintings were removed and replaced with cubic, colorful fields, similar to the church windows. The result was a very modern church space in rural areas for the early 1960s. The altar was consecrated in 1965 by Archbishop Julius Cardinal Döpfner (1961–1976).

The wooden ceiling and the crowd of saints on the whitewashed walls go back to Pastor Maier (1963–1980) in the late 1970s. At this stage the mosaics of St. Martin and the pigeon lost; these were replaced by a baroque painting depicting the scene of the division of St. Martin represents.
