The Roman Catholic parish church of St. Peter in Velden an der Vils , a market in the Lower Bavarian district of Landshut , is a late Gothic staggered hall church . The church is a protected cultural asset under the Hague Convention and is registered as a monument with the number D-2-74-183-7 at the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation .

history

A small church in Feldin , today's Markt Velden, is mentioned for the first time in 773 . It was part of a donation to the bishopric in Freising . Aspert von Velden , Chancellor of the Frankish King Arnulf , gave this chapel to the monastery of Sankt Emmeram and thus to the diocese of Regensburg around 890 . In the following centuries, up to the secularization of 1803, Velden was always a plaything between the dioceses of Freising and Regensburg and the Bavarian dukes. Today it belongs to the archdiocese of Munich and Freising from a church perspective .

The current church was built in the second half of the 15th century - probably in several stages. A keystone in the vault indicates the year 1489. After a Baroque renovation, the furnishings were regotified between 1850 and 1860. The neo-Gothic altars and the pulpit, all of which are still preserved today, were made by the Munich sculptor Anselm Sickinger . To complete the regotisation, the painted glass windows in neo-Gothic style were used between 1900 and 1902 under Pastor Simon Unterauer. The last major renovation was carried out from 1987 to 1992.

The parish church is a three-aisled , late Gothic staggered hall with an east choir and a 64 meter high tower on the west side. The latter has a square floor plan and comprises five floors, on top of an octagonal tower with an elaborate buttress and a high pointed helmet. The opposite the nave uncollected choir is by buttresses and pointed arches fries divided on the roof. The church windows are also pointed and have elaborate tracery and neo-Gothic glass paintings . In the interior, consisting of the four-bay nave and the one-bay choir with a three-sided end, the late Gothic net rib vault is still completely preserved.

The church is from the former cemetery wall made of brick surround. This was built before 1800 and is also a listed building .

Furnishing

High altar

The high altar shows a figurative scene of the handover of the keys to the church patron Peter . This scene is surrounded by an arch of seven individual figures. Jesus Christ is enthroned at the top ; on the left side, from top to bottom, Mary , Peter and the Archangel Michael can be seen ; on the right side are shown from top to bottom John the Baptist , Paul and Laurentius . Below the key handover scene is the tabernacle with a crucifix flanked by two angels . To the left and right of the tabernacle there are two picture panels with scenes from the New Testament : the miraculous multiplication of the bread and the wedding at Cana . On the stipes there are three more picture panels, which show the following events from the Old Testament from left to right : the priest-king Melchizedek , the brazen serpent and the sacrifice of Isaac . During the last interior renovation, figures belonging to the original late Gothic side altars were attached to the side walls of the chancel. Saint Sebastian , Apollonia , Wolfgang and Ursula are shown to the left of the high altar ; on the right there are Saints Lucia , Florian and Erasmus . In a register from 1585, six side altars in honor of Saints Peter, Maria, Sebastian, Katharina and Ursula as well as the twelve apostles are named for the Velden church .

People's Altar

The parish church in Velden also received its folk altar during the last renovation. It is made from parts of the neo-Gothic pulpit that was dismantled in the 1960s and therefore blends in well with the rest of the furnishings. Because it was originally used as a pulpit, it shows panels of the four evangelists . The large choir cross leads over to the choir, which is separated from the central nave by an ogival arch .

Side altars

On the front walls of the aisles are the two side altars, which are designed as winged altars . The left side altar is an altar of Mary, in the central place a figure of Mary with a standing baby Jesus can be seen. In the upper structure there are figures of Saints Joachim and Anna , who are known as the parents of Mary. St. Dominic and St. Catherine of Siena are depicted to the left and right of the Madonna . In addition, fifteen picture panels are distributed on the Marian altar that depict the secrets of the three classical rosaries (joyful, painful, glorious). The glass painting on the window next to the Marien Altar belongs thematically to this. It was donated by the Rosary Brotherhood in Velden, which was probably founded in 1562 and shows the naval battle of Lepanto . Above it stands Mary with the baby Jesus who presents a rosary to Saint Dominic. The right side altar is dedicated to St. Sebastian, whose martyrdom is shown here. Above there are figures of Saints Barbara and Catherine, to the left and right of them are the Holy Emperor Heinrich II. And Saint George . On the wings there are reliefs of St. Agnes with the lamb (left) and St. Thekla with the lion (right). Here, too, the neighboring window, which was donated by a Sebastian Brotherhood founded in 1450, takes up the theme of the altar. The legend of the saints is told in several images on the altar and the window .

Other equipment

In general, the neo-Gothic glass windows in the church are of great importance. The two choir windows are dedicated to the apostles Peter (right) and Paul (left). The other windows in the nave (with the exception of the windows next to the side altars already described) show the cartridges of the surrounding branch churches. On the right side are shown: the Holy Trinity (cross), St. Andreas (Schlegelsreith), St. Paul (Pauluszell), St. Margaretha (Jettenstetten) and St. Leonhard (Erlach). On the left side you can see: St. George (Georgenzell, Münster), St. Nicholas (Niklashaag), St. Ulrich (Gebensbach) and St. Lantpert (Kleinvelden). In the two rearmost windows, former pastors of Velden are depicted and mentioned by name. Between the side windows are the fourteen neo-Gothic cross - way panels from the Mayer'schen Kunstanstalt .

organ

In the rear of the central nave is the west gallery with organ . In the course of regotisation, a double gallery was built here from 1899 , with the organ being placed on the upper floor. However, this was removed again in the 1960s. On the gallery parapet, reliefs of Pope and Church Father Gregory the Great , St. David with the harp and St. Cecilia as the patroness of church music can be seen.

In 1642 the parish church in Velden received an organ from Straubinger Christoph Egedacher the Elder. Ä. This has not been preserved. It was replaced in 1858 by an instrument made by Johann Ehrlich from Landshut . Today's organ is housed in a neo-Gothic prospect from 1899, which was made for the new organ loft based on a design by Joseph Elsner senior . First in 1901, Franz Borgias Maerz from Munich built an organ with 18 stops on two manuals and a pedal . The cone chest instrument with pneumatic play and register contractures had as his successor organs already have a free-standing gaming table . The Borgias-organ was in 1969 through the work of Ludwig Wastlhuber from Mößling replaced. The cone chest instrument with electric play and stop actions comprised 20 stops on two manuals and pedal. Since it turned out to be very short-lived, it was replaced in 1996 by a purely mechanical slider-drawer instrument from Anton Staller from Grafing near Munich . This includes 25 stops on two manuals and pedal.
