St. Michael (Zweikirchen)
The Roman Catholic parish church of St. Michael in Zweikirchen , a district of the municipality of Tiefenbach in the Lower Bavarian district of Landshut , is a listed hall church with a choir tower . Together with the neighboring parishes of St. Georg in Ast , St. Peter and Paul in Buch am Erlbach and St. Johann Baptist in Eching , the parish of St. Michael forms the parish association of Steinzell, which belongs to the Geisenhausen dean's office of the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising .
history
While the choir and tower were built in the late Gothic style in the second half of the 15th century , the nave was added in the Baroque period . The foundation walls of a Romanesque building served as the foundation . At the same time, the church furnishings were also baroque. In the years 1865 to 1868 there was a regotization in the sense of historicism .
description
Exterior construction
The east-facing building includes a late Gothic, two-bay choir with a three-eighth end and a relatively small baroque nave, which are united under a common gable roof . The choir is structured by a roof frieze , a base and two buttresses added during the regotisation on the south side; the neo-Gothic pointed arch windows are designed as two-lane tracery windows . Apart from the window openings rounded at the top and bottom, the nave has hardly any structural elements. A simple, baroque vestibule is built on the west side and contains the only portal .
A massive tower is built onto the northern flank of the choir, which was probably built at the same time as the choir. The sacristy is housed on its ground floor and has a window with a gable arch to the north and east with a rectangular, sloping reveal . To the east of the sacristy is the ascent to the tower in the thick wall. The undivided substructure with a square floor plan is roughly four storeys high . At the top there is also a square attachment that contains the bell cage and is divided by round-arched sound openings and dead-running corner and central pilaster strips . A gable roof forms the upper end; the two triangular gables to the north and south each have a tower clock .
Interior and equipment
The choir is spanned by a late Gothic mesh ribbed vault, the pear-shaped ribs of which arise from bevelled pillars with semicircular services . The shield arches are pointed, the round keystones come in two different sizes. The transition to the ship is mediated by a pointed choir arch , beveled on both sides . The nave is vaulted by a baroque needle cap barrel. On the side walls there are neo-Romanesque round arch friezes as the end of wall sections that were created in the course of the renovation from 1865–68 to gain space. In the sacristy on the tower ground floor there is a simple, star-shaped ribbed vault from the time the tower was built, which rests on profiled corner consoles and has a round keystone.
The furnishings are predominantly neo-Gothic with individual late Gothic or baroque sculptures. For example, a high-quality late Gothic sculpture of Anna selbdritt from around 1460 and a late Gothic three-quarters life-size figure of St. Leonhard from around 1480 have been preserved. In the former, St. Anne carries the young Mary on her left and the baby Jesus on her right . The group of figures has a height of around one meter.
organ
The organ was built in 1981 by Friedrich Glockner from Mühldorf . It comprises six registers on a manual and pedal .
This replaced a defective, pneumatic cone chute instrument that had been made by Karl Huber from Deggendorf in the 1930s . This also comprised six registers on a manual and pedal. The disposition was as follows:
