history

The first church existed as early as 1167, when the Ottobeuren abbot of the Ottobeuren Isingrim monastery made his large reliquary donation and also paid tribute to the Erisried church. King Henry VI. confirmed to the Steingaden monastery in 1189 its ownership of Erisried and the church with the right of patronage . This was in 1288 by Heinrich von Mindelberg in exchange for the Sontheimer church on Eternal times awarded to the monastery Ottobeuren. The church was probably damaged in the Thirty Years War . The first traditional construction work was carried out in 1680 by the Mindelheim carpenter Hans Jakob Geiger, when he made a new side altar dedicated to Our Lady . Hans Caspar Zimmermann , who was also based in Mindelheim, summed it up . In 1682 Hans Jakob Geiger delivered a new tabernacle with two angels. He made a new piece for the side altar in 1683. The piece with God the Father and an angel's head was made by Albrecht Schropp .

The foundation stone for the still existing tower was laid on March 29, 1686. The master builder was probably Thomas Natterer from Mindelheim. The church was probably rebuilt in 1763 by Matthäus Kirchmayr from Eutenhausen , the roof was renewed in 1849. Master carpenter Böck replaced the baroque onion dome of the church tower with a pointed helmet, which the parishioners had unanimously decided on on August 6, 1862. The choir was redesigned and painted in a new Romanesque style in 1876 . A year later the nave was redesigned. A new high altar and two side altars were purchased and erected in 1889, and a new pulpit, a donation to the parish, was installed. The tower helmet was renewed in 1947. A renovation with an attempt to restore the old baroque state of the church took place in 1954. The exterior of the church and tower were renovated in 1976.
