St. Martin (Oberhochstatt)
The St. Martin Church is an Evangelical Lutheran church in Oberhochstatt , a district of the city of Weißenburg in Bavaria in the central Franconian district of Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen . It is the parish church in the Evangelical Lutheran deanery in Weißenburg . The building is registered under the monument number D-5-77-177-540 as an architectural monument in the Bavarian monument list.
The late medieval choir tower church is located in the west of the village not far from the Rohrbach at an altitude of 512 meters above sea level . It was consecrated in 1185 by Bishop Otto von Eichstätt , although the previous building on whose foundations the church was built was probably much older. The builder Blasius Berwart was buried in the church on July 23, 1589.
The building had to be rebuilt in the 17th century. In 1718 it was renewed and the church tower was raised again.
The baroque spire was added between 1769 and 1771 and has a spindle-shaped top. The nave is a low pitched roof structure . The equipment was renewed from 1872 to 1883. The church was renovated in 1992.
The altar comes from the Ansbach sculptor Franz Herterich, the ceiling painting with the Transfiguration of Christ from the 19th century was created by the Weißenburg painter Otto Schlagenhauser.
The bells were cast in V12 ribs by the Bochum Association for Cast Steel Manufacture in 1950 . Only the small bell hangs on the straight yoke, all others ring on strongly cranked steel yokes, which was usually the standard version for V12 bells .
