St. Peter and Paul (Olching)
The Roman Catholic parish church of St. Peter and Paul in the city of Olching , Fürstenfeldbruck district , is a neo-Romanesque basilica that was built in 1901 for the rapidly growing village community. The church at that time had become too small and, moreover, very dilapidated. According to plans Moritz von Horstigs Josef Schormüller 1899-1901 built the church on Sept. 22, 1901 ordained was. This church was also the prerequisite for Olching to become an independent parish in 1909 .
history
In 1315 a church in Olching is first mentioned, which was consecrated to the apostles Peter and Paul . This choir tower church from the late Gothic era resembled the Alt-Estinger church. It stood where the newly designed Nöscherplatz is today. The name of the square is reminiscent of the pastor, who had given great support to the building of the church and in 1909 became the first honorary citizen of the community .
With the construction of the Munich-Augsburg railway line , Olching got a train station in 1840 and gradually developed into an easily accessible suburb of the residential city of Munich. Due to the population growth - which was also caused by the settlement of the wood pulp factory in Neu-Olching - it was decided in the late 19th century to build a new and larger church. The dilapidated church of St. Peter and Paul was demolished shortly after the new large church was completed in 1903/04.
On September 22, 1901, the church, built in neo-Romanesque style, was consecrated by Archbishop Franz Joseph von Stein . At that time the interior of the basilica, which was modeled on the churches in Ravenna (see this example !), Was not yet painted. This was not done until 1923–1935 by the Munich church painter Josef Bergmann , who first painted the choir and apse - Christ in the mandorla as an old motif for the Last Judgment - and then gradually designed the frescoes in the nave. He chose motifs from the legends about the life of the church patrons St. Peter and St. Paul.
Bergmann was faced with the task of painting the interior of a neo-Romanesque church at a time when people were already turning their backs on historicism and were preparing to break new ground. Bergmann had to adapt to the given space in order not to counteract it, but on the other hand to avoid sentimental models of neo-Romanesque. He solved this through the excellent quality of his designs, conscious of tradition, but without imitation. It was Bergmann's very own, expressive style (...)
Since the larger community of Olching grew in population even faster than before the war - due to the integration of many refugees, evacuees and displaced persons - the large church proved to be quite appropriate for the parish.
Twin church
St. Peter and Paul has with Sta. Maria Addolorata in Arco a "twin church"; This somewhat smaller building in the Dolomites was also built according to plans by Moritz von Horstig and was consecrated on September 22, 1907.
Bomb hit
During a bomb drop on February 22, 1944 by 25 to 27 American bombers - the Munich-Augsburg railway line was probably the target - the sacristy of the church was destroyed by a hit. For many years there was a crack in the apse of the church due to the explosion.
renovation
Before the centenary of the consecration in 2001, the parish church was renovated. The building, which has been restored to its new splendor both inside and out, has been the parish church of a parish that has been elevated to a town since 2011.

organ
The original organ with the Neo-Romanesque case preserved today was created in 1900 by Franz Borgias Maerz . It comprised two manuals and 18 stops . Günter Ismayr from Bernried built a new organ in 1976 with three manuals and 30 registers, with mechanical sliding chests and an electrical register action. In its current condition, today's instrument corresponds to a modification and a rescheduling in 1994 by Paul Rohner from Mallerdorf . The current disposition is:

church Square
When the Nöscherplatz in the west of the church was redesigned - this is essentially the area of the abandoned churchyard around the old village church before 1904 - the war memorial was moved to the western long side of the church building. The atonement cross also got a new location next to it. Both monuments, like the church itself, are listed and entered in the Bavarian monument list.
