St. Peter (Munster)
The Roman Catholic branch church of St. Peter in Münster , a district of the town of Rottenburg an der Laaber in the Lower Bavarian district of Landshut , is the "original church" of the Rottenburg parish and was itself a parish church until around 1300 .
history
Münster is the oldest town in the Rottenburg parish. This emerged from the original monastery of the diocese of Regensburg , which was probably founded in the 8th century by a Regensburg bishop . Munster fell to Hungary invasions and the secularization Duke Arnulf I. victim. Instead of the monastery, the parish of St. Peter was established by the Lords of Roning in the 11th century . Under the Lower Bavarian dukes, the parish seat was first moved from Münster to Gisseltshausen around 1300, then to Rottenburg at the beginning of the 15th century.
The Peterskirche zu Münster has its origins towards the end of the 13th century, according to evidence of the style features. The nave walls and the tower substructure date from this time at the transition between Romanesque and Gothic . The choir and the superstructure of the tower were built in the late Gothic around 1500. The nave was expanded in 1786; At that time, the flat ceilings in the nave and choir were also drawn in and the window openings were redesigned as round arches. The church is likely to have been changed later, but this has not been proven. It is certain again that the church received an organ in 1838, its tower clock in 1844 and two bells in 1848/1849. In 1884 the “Atelier for Church Art” of the brothers August and Karl Kraft from Freising carried out an interior renovation. Extensive exterior and interior renovations took place in 1913 and 1914. In 1948 the Johann Hahn bell foundry from Landshut delivered two new bells after the old ones had been withdrawn during the Second World War . In 1974 the church tower, which was previously covered with slate , was given a copper roof and a lightning rod . Seven years later the church was equipped with new pews and electric heating. In the years 2005 to 2007 the tower, the roof structure and the interior were completely renovated.
description
architecture
The Church of St. Peter is a single-nave hall building with four window axes, to which a three-sided closed choir room with three window axes connects. Seen from the outside, the choir is not drawn in, but on the inside it is slightly drawn in through the round arch . The nave and choir have a flat ceiling, and before 1786 a presumably Gothic vault of unknown figuration. The sacristy and the tower with a flat helmet are built on the south side .
Furnishing
The height of the choir is almost completely taken up by the mighty, eight-column high altar in the late Rococo style . This was made in 1777 by a carpenter from Pfeffenhausen . Between two groups with four columns each is the altar sheet painted by Ignatius Kauffmann and depicting the handing over of the keys to the Apostle Peter. Above that, between the curved entablature, is the likewise curved essay with a picture of the Assumption of Mary . Above the side passages of the altar there is a figure of St. Wolfgang on the left , and on the right a figure of St. Florian . The people's altar and the ambo , adapted in style to the high altar, were manufactured in 1982 by the Steininger company from Dingolfing . To the left and right of the choir arch are the baroque side altars from around 1720. The altar leaves were painted in 1884 and show Mary with the baby Jesus (left) and Saint Sebastian (right). On the left side altar there is also a figure of the Mother of God with a child, which dates from the late Gothic period around 1480.
The pulpit on the south wall of the nave dates from around 1740 and is decorated with bandels and shells in the early Rococo style. On the body it shows a painted representation of the rich fish catch; on the inside of the sound cover there is a plastic representation of the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove, above it a figure of the Archangel Michael with scales. Opposite the pulpit is a large baroque wooden cross, including two late Gothic reliefs , Saint Wolfgang (left) and Saint Florian (right), from the period between 1530 and 1540. The fourteen cross-way panels, executed as an oil painting on canvas in a wooden frame, date from 1884. At the top of the choir arch hangs a rosary Madonna , who is shown standing on the globe with her child. Rococo busts of the apostle Peter with the keys (left) and Paul with sword and book are attached to the side walls of the choir . The two ceiling frescoes in the Nazarene style from 1913 are also interesting. In the choir, Jesus is depicted as a child friend , in the nave the liberation of Peter from dungeon .
