history

Interior in its original state, before 1944

Possibly the church stands on the remains of a Roman sanctuary. In 1709, during cellar construction work, a Roman pillar monument from the second half of the 2nd century came to light. The Roman stone adorned the coat of arms of the former market town. A first church under the patronage of St. Peter and Paul could have been there during the time of Bishop Ulrich . The church was first with Dom - canons and later with diocesan provided. A church in Oberhausen has been documented since the 12th century. The three Romanesque basement floors of the church tower probably date from this time. The late Gothic choir still preserved dates from the 14th to 15th centuries.

According to the parish chronicle, the dilapidated church was demolished in 1603, with the exception of the tower and choir, and a new nave in an expanded form was built by master mason Hans Baur and consecrated again in 1604. In 1619 the tower was given an upper floor with an onion dome modeled on the towers of the Augsburg town hall under the Augsburg city architect Elias Holl . In 1698 a renovation was carried out by Christoph Dietz and in 1700 the addition of side chapels. The interior was also made Baroque. The painter Johann Josef Anton Huber created a no longer preserved ceiling painting in 1797.

In 1925, the nave was expanded according to reduced plans by Michael Kurz from 1909 . In 1933, due to the growing population, the northern part of the parish was demarcated to St. Martin . During the air raids on Augsburg on the night of February 25th to 26th, 1944, the church was hit by five aerial bombs and subsequently burned out completely. Only the walls and the tower remained. The reconstruction carried out in a simplified form by Ulrich Reithmayer while retaining the old floor plan took place in 1948. He replaced the sacristy with a modern low-rise building. In 1985 the church was completely renovated. Since May 2012 there is a parish community with St. Joseph, St. Martin and St. Konrad .
