history

Möschenfeld, first mentioned in 819 as Meskilinfeld, was donated by aristocrats to Ebersberg Monastery from 1050 , who expanded the hamlet into a monastery schwaige . The Benedictines from Ebersberg built yet in the 11th century one of the holy Ottilie consecrated chapel . A pilgrimage quickly developed here . In 1596 Möschenfeld passed to the Jesuits in Munich . These expanded the Schwaige, which was raised to Hofmark in 1674 . After the abolition of the Jesuit order in Bavaria in 1773, the Hofmark came to the Order of Malta , who owned it until 1799 and then sold it to the economist Josef Gruber. After several changes of ownership, the estate and the entire hamlet passed to Reichsrat Wilhelm von Finck in 1895 and is still owned by the von Finck family today. Until the 20th century there was a flourishing pilgrimage for the eye sick.

church

The existing church, which was renovated from 1984 onwards, is a large hall structure and was built during the Thirty Years War in 1640 by master mason Balthasar Wölkhamer . The creator of the rich frame stucco with a strongly plastic filling is not known, but the stucco is reminiscent of Caspar Feichtmayr from Bernried . The west wall has a curved gable on the outside, which is flanked by round, onion-crowned stair towers. The onion-crowned east tower stands south of the chancel. The strongly drawn-in chancel has a three-sided end. The single-nave nave is closed by a flat needle cap barrel, the straps divide into six narrow yokes. Small round windows lie above high arched windows. The three altars deserve attention, including the main altar (acceptance of St. Ottilie into heaven). The figure of St. Ottilie on the south wall comes from the previous building. On the parapet of the two-storey gallery in the west there are eight picture panels with scenes from the life of the saints (Ottilienlegende) by an artist who is known under the emergency name Meister der Möschenfelder Ottilienlegende , from a late Gothic altar from the end of the 15th century (whose predella in the Bavarian National Museum in Munich).
