Ortisei (lance hair)
The St. Ulrich branch church is a late Gothic Roman Catholic church in the Lanzenhaar district of the municipality of Sauerlach in the Upper Bavarian district of Munich . It is looked after by the parish of St. Andreas , which, together with the former parishes of St. Michael in Arget (since 2007) and St. Margaret in Altkirchen (since 2012), forms the Sauerlach parish in the Ottobrunn deanery of the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising .
Building history and equipment
The church was mentioned as early as 1315. In the diocesan description of 1350, the church in Lanzenhaar appears as a branch of St. Stephan in Oberhaching, but without the right to be buried. The current form of the late Gothic church dates from the 15th and 16th centuries. It is a two-axis hall building with a retracted, three-sided closed cross-rib vaulted choir, above which a slender roof turret with a pointed helmet rises. During the renovation between 1978 and 1982, numerous frescoes from different eras were uncovered. There is a depiction of Saints Martin and Ulrich from the 16th century above the door as well as depictions of Saint Ulrich in the battle on the Lechfeld on the flat ceiling , which date from the 18th century. The baroque high altar is dated to the second half of the 17th century. On May 25, 1710, Bishop Johann Franz Eckher von Kapfing and Liechteneck consecrated the altar. The inventory from 1720 lists two bells.
In the spring of 1942 the bells were removed and melted down. After the Second World War , the high altar figure from around 1500 was stolen, the origin of the current figure is unclear. In addition, the two wooden figures of the martyr saints Paul and John that flanked the triumphal arch disappeared . Today the treasures that still exist are kept in a safe place throughout the year.
Parish to Sauerlach
Originally, St. Ulrich belonged as a branch church to the parish of St. Stephan in Oberhaching . In a request dated October 8, 1844, the Sauerlach pastor Anton Beer asked for Lanzenhaar, Otterloh and Portenläng to join his parish. Around the same time, the local farmers also tried to do this. Both letters justify their request with the fact that a re-parish would not be a great loss for the Oberhachingen parish, since Lanzenhaar 22, Otterloh 70 and Portenläng only counted eleven souls and the distance to the parish is one hour, from Otterloh and Portenlang even one and a half hours. Nevertheless, the parish was initially rejected. Lanzenhaar and Otterloh only came to the parish of Sauerlach in 1867 - this took into account the pastoral needs of the time.
Patronage
The branch church in Lanzenhaar is dedicated to Saint Ulrich , who was bishop of Augsburg at the time of the Hungarian invasions . By defending the city, he played a major role in the victory over the Hungarians on the Lechfeld. After his canonization in 993, many churches were consecrated in his honor.
Others
The St. Ulrich branch church is listed as a monument under the list number D-1-84-141-61 in the Bavarian list of monuments.
Every July 4th, the day of remembrance of St. Ulrich, there is an appeal starting from the parish church St. Andreas in Sauerlach to the chapel.
