St. Nikolaus (Schröding)
The Roman Catholic parish church St. Nikolaus (also parish church St. Urban and Nikolaus ) in Schröding , a district of the municipality Kirchberg in the Upper Bavarian district of Erding , is a hall church with a retracted polygonal choir , the core of which dates from the 15th century. In the years 1702/03 the nave and the tower superstructure were redesigned in Baroque style , and in 1931 the nave was expanded again.
The parish of St. Nikolaus in Schröding belongs to the dean's office of the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising and, together with the neighboring parishes of St. Vitus in Burgharting, Mariä Visitation in Hohenpolding , St. Stephanus in Inning am Holz and St. Johannes in Steinkirchen, forms the parish association of Holzland. Filial churches of Schröding are St. Peter and Paul in Kirchberg and St. Martin in Niederstraubing .
history
A church in Schröding, probably the predecessor of today's church, was first mentioned in 1315 as a branch of Steinkirchen. Today's late Gothic building dates from around 1450. The two-bay , three-sided closed choir and the substructure of the tower have been preserved. In the Thirty Years' War, more precisely in 1634, the Swedes attacked Schröding. The fire damage could initially only be repaired poorly due to lack of funds.
In 1702/03, a more spacious nave and a tower superstructure were finally built . With pilasters on the nave and tower shaft, arched window openings and a strongly constricted onion dome , builder Anton Kogler from Erding designed the newly built components in the typical Baroque style. The two-storey sacristy attached to the apex of the chancel was also built in the first half of the 18th century . The interior was also furnished in baroque style during this period.
Due to an increase in the population, an expansion of the church was planned from 1907. As a result of the First World War and a financial emergency, the plans were not implemented until 1931, when the Munich architect Karl Kergl - a representative of the Post Building School - extended the nave with a generous extension on the west side. As early as 1901 Schröding was raised to the position of the parish of Steinkirchen, and in 1921 to its own parish . Between 1968 and 1973 the parish church was completely renovated, and in 1990 the vestibules to the portals on the north and south sides were added.
In 2002 the tower and roof structure were renovated, in December 2012 the ailing gallery had to be braced for emergency safety, and in April 2014 the choir arch also had to be emergency secured. In 2013, a new warm air heating system was installed because the old one had failed irreparably in December 2010. In 2017/18, the last restoration work for the time being took place , a complete interior renovation for around 1.3 million euros. Among other things, the shell, which was heavily soiled by the old heating, was remodeled , an older water damage at the transition to the tower was repaired and almost the entire church furnishings including the chairs were restored. In addition, the area below the west gallery was redesigned. New seating and a newly designed confessional are now grouped around the baptismal font, which is now in the middle . A statue of the parish priest Nikolaus von Myra (memorial day: December 6th) was also moved here.
description
Exterior construction
The east-facing hall church consists of a six-bay nave and a drawn-in, two-bay choir with a three-sided end, at the top of which a two-storey sacristy is attached. The nave is again divided into two components, each comprising three window axes . The eastern part is baroque, the slightly wider western extension is modern. The two parts of the nave are designed as separate structures: the baroque part, like the late Gothic choir, has a gable roof , the modern part a pyramid roof . The different facade designs are also interesting . While the choir has simple, largely undivided outer walls with originally pointed arches , later rounded in Baroque style, the eastern part of the nave is structured by pilasters . Above the arched windows, separated by a slender cornice , there is a second row of windows, consisting of small ox eyes . The modern extension has two rows of arched window openings; the side facades are otherwise not structured. The rear west facade is clad with wooden shingles for weather protection . In the eastern yoke of this component are the two church portals, protected by small vestibules.
Interior and equipment
The front part of the nave is spanned by a barrel vault with stitch caps . A round choir arch mediates the transition between the nave and the chancel. The modern extension of the nave contains a generous wooden gallery which spans the two rear bays. The three baroque altars were acquired from Erding in 1803 when the Capuchin Church there was profaned in the course of secularization . While the two side altars were taken over unchanged, the high altar had to be reduced especially for the Schrödinger parish church. The ceiling painting in the choir, which bears the title "The continents adore Maria ", was created in 1759 by the painter Franz Xaver Zellner from Erding. The six stitch caps of the baroque component were given a setting with flowers and vases based on baroque models from the Taufkirchen painter Peter Keilhacker as part of the expansion in 1931 .
organ
The organ of the Schrödinger parish church, a monument organ , was built in 1869 by the organ builder Jakob Müller from Tuntenhausen in a neo-Romanesque prospectus . The purely mechanical slider chest instrument with free-standing gaming table has been restored several times before in 1973 by Ludwig Wastlhuber from Mößling in Mühldorf was made a profound conversion. The eight registers are divided into a manual and a permanently attached pedal . The disposition is as follows:
