Establishment

The Romanesque tower of the Catholic Church of St. Quirin is the oldest preserved building in Aubing. It is dated to the end of the 13th century, supported by dendrochronological studies, which showed that the wood of the old bell house in the tower was cut in the winter of 1283/84. An earlier nave, probably made of wood, was burned down in the Bavarian War in 1422. The Aubingen pastors in the following years tried to rebuild the nave, which was done in the late Gothic style. This church with a rectangular hall and a recessed choir facing to the east still exists today. At that time, however, the nave was even shorter; the west facade ended flush with the west side of the tower. The consecration was carried out in 1489 by the auxiliary bishop Ulrich von Salona , deputy of the Freising Bishop Sixtus von Tannberg .

The year of consecration is known because a collection of consecration utensils came to light during renovation work in the 1960s. These included an imprint of Ulrich's seal, which is interpreted as evidence of his presence, as well as a largely illegible document, which, however, contained a recognizable date, which was initially interpreted as 1480. Therefore, in 1980 the 500-year parish fair was celebrated. However, in later examinations under UV light it turned out that the last digit is not a 0, but a 9. The fact that Ulrich von Salona only became auxiliary bishop in 1484 speaks for the consecration date of 1489. Dendrochronological examinations of the roof beams also showed that they were felled in the winter of 1484/85.

Other consecration utensils found were an Ulrich cross , a glass bottle containing the certificate, a pouch placed around it, a small box that presumably contained chrism , and some bones of unclear meaning.

Changes

The oldest change is likely to be the two-story additions on either side of the choir, a little younger than the nave. The upper floor is each provided with cross vaults, the ribs are similar to those of the church.

The church was painted twice inside, between 1580 and 1594 and again from 1668. Frescoes from the time of the first painting are exposed in the main nave, to the left and right of the side altars, each framing a window. Martin Reiter, pastor in Aubing from December 1632 until his death on September 28, 1669, had the baroque high altar built in St. Quirin in 1668. His grave slab is in the choir of St. Quirin. His stepfather's was found in the tower.

Repairs are documented for 1724 and 1787, and from 1740 the interior of the choir was redesigned in Baroque style . The fresco painting in the vault of the choir also dates from 1740 .

The main entrance was originally on the south side. In the course of an expansion of the surrounding cemetery in 1863, it was moved to the west side and provided with a vestibule (see west view from 1914). The old entrance was walled up and provided with a chapel window. Josef Steinbacher reported in 1914 that “the community” approved 2,600 marks for the construction of an organ and 1,500 marks for a church tower clock in 1879, although it remains unclear whether it was the parish or the Aubing community.

A north aisle based on plans by Michael Kurz was considered in 1913, but was dropped after the First World War in favor of the church in Neuaubing. Due to the strong growth of the community, the church had become too small in the 1930s, despite the construction of the Neuaubingen church. Therefore, in 1936/37, the nave was extended by a fifth yoke to the west according to plans by Kurz .

Ursula shrine

The most important piece of equipment in the church is the shrine of St. Ursula from 1499, which is now housed in the western extension under the gallery . It was once the middle part of an altar , the side wings of which are no longer preserved. Presumably the shrine did not come into the church until the 19th century because it is not listed on old inventory lists.

In the center of the shrine, St. Ursula is depicted, she is slightly larger than her four companions. All five figures have crowns on their heads and martyrs' palms in their hands. On the back of the shrine, which is painted with a representation of the Man of Sorrows and the tools of suffering , characters from the 16th century are carved. Georg Manser von Maisach names an inscription from 1591 with the motto: Everything is possible with God's work .

Bells

Ringing of St. Qurin
Detail of the George Bell
Marienbell

The ringing of St. Quirin consists of five bells. The oldest is from 1516, one from the immediate post-war period (from Euphon). In 1997, for the 700th anniversary of the church tower, three new bells were consecrated and the bell house was thoroughly renovated. All five bells hang on wooden yokes in a wooden chair. With the exception of a shoulder frieze, which is unadorned, a portrait of the respective saint adorns the front.

The bells sound in the notes e 1 - a 1 - h 1 - d 2 - e 2 .
