The St. Quirin branch church on the outskirts of the village

The Catholic branch church of St. Quirin in the Großeisenbach district of the Fahrenzhausen community in the Freising district is a late Romanesque hall building from the first half of the 13th century, which was later expanded in a baroque style. The church building is a protected monument and is included in the list of architectural monuments in Fahrenzhausen with the monument number D-1-78-123-9.

history

The place belonged to the property of the Tegernsee Monastery even before 900, which is why there is the rare patron St. Quirin of the monastery church as church patron in Großeisenbach. The church has had the dual patronage of St. Quirin and St. Leonhard since the 18th century . Today St. Leonhard is mainly seen as the main patron of the church.

The branch church of St. Quirin in Großeisenbach was first mentioned in writing in the Konradin register of 1315 as "Eysenpach" . The many Romanesque building elements indicate that the church was built around 100 years earlier, in the first half of the 13th century. The Romanesque floor plan has remained unchanged to this day.

In the period around 1685, new altars were built in as a first baroque measure. The builder of the high altar was the Kistler (= carpenter) Matthias Ströber from Massenhausen (who also worked in Appercha). In 1707 the church was consecrated anew (= consecrated) by the Freising Bishop Johann Franz Eckher von Kapfing and Liechteneck (1695–1727).

A generation later, in 1732, in the second step of Baroqueization, the stucco and paintings were brought up to the ceiling under Pastor Prämer and large, curved windows (then called French windows) were broken out to let more light into the church. The high altar received a new altar sheet showing the two church patrons St. Quirin and St. Leonhard.

Tower demolition

Until 1882 the church had a real tower on the east side. This means that it was a choir tower church with the chancel on the ground floor of the tower. When the tower was demolished, a square roof turret (turret) with a side length of 2.30 m was placed on the transition from the chancel to the nave. This remained until the major renovation in 1970. Its weight put excessive strain on the church roof and caused cracks in the masonry. Therefore, a new roof turret made of open iron scaffolding was erected on the west side, the weight of which was distributed over the entire church by iron rails.

Furnishing

The church, located on a hill east of the village, is a late Romanesque building, probably from the first half of the 13th century. This is clearly shown by the late Romanesque round arch frieze with a double German band and a walled up narrow window with a deep reveal on the south wall.

Around 1685 the church was redesigned in baroque style and equipped with new altars. The large windows were broken out. The tower was demolished in 1882 because it was in disrepair.

The chancel is covered by a groin vault, the nave is covered by a hollow vault. The ceilings are decorated with stucco. The ceiling paintings show the eye of God (choir) and the glory of St. Leonhard (nave).

The interior of the church has been decorated in the baroque / rococo style for 325 years. This is especially true of the three altars that were built in 1685. You are the St. Dedicated to Leonhard and Maria and Josef.

There are the following figures: St. Peter and Paul at the choir altar, St. Joachim and Anna selbdritt (left), St. Maria, St. Quirin and God the Father (right), St. Sebastian and St. Leonhard (gallery parapet).

The following pictures are available: God the Father in the top of the choir altar, Joseph and Mary on the side altar leaves, St. Anthony of Padua (left) and St. Leonhard (nave ceiling and altar leaf).

Bells

Two bells hang in the roof turret. During the First World War , the church had to deliver a bell (103 kg) to be melted down for war purposes. The replacement bell, weighing 238 kg, was wound in 1925 after a new oak bell cage was installed.

Parish Association

Until 1953 (other source: 1951) Großeisenbach belonged to the parish of Fürholzen. Since then it has been part of the Jarzt parish, pastoral care by the Weng Curate. The parish of Jarzt / Fahrenzhausen, together with the parish of Giebing and the Weng curate, forms a parish association that has been expanded to include the parish of Haimhausen. This parish association is again part of the Dachau deanery; this ties in with old conditions.
