history

The Aubingen parish from the Middle Ages to the 19th century. In the Konradinische Matrikel of 1315 mentioned branches in red, later mentioned in purple, the Würm in blue. Langwied and Friedenheim partly belonged to the parish. From St. Quirin to St. Ulrich (Laim) it's a good 6.5 km as the crow flies.
The inside of the church

Excavations from 1977 show a previous building that was built in the 14th century. Duke Sigismund decided to rebuild the church, which on the pilgrimage in the footsteps of St. Wolfgang from Regensburg to the Salzkammergut . Jörg von Halspach is believed to be the master builder . According to a memorial plaque from 1848 on the church, the foundation stone was laid on May 5, 1478, and the church was consecrated on August 13, 1480, the Sunday before Ascension Day . This information has not yet been confirmed in a document. The construction period for the church and furnishings is assumed to be 1480 to 1485.

No changes have been made to the church since then. In 1701 the village church was included in the overall planning of the Nymphenburg Palace Park as the point de vue . Fortunately, this decision did not result in a renovation in the Baroque style . After a lightning bolt struck the tower in 1794, the pointed helmet was added.

The high altar

In 1924 the new parish church of Leiden Christi in Munich- Obermenzing was inaugurated; At that time St. Wolfgang became a branch of the Passion of Christ. St. Wolfgang survived the Second World War without damage. Between 1976 and 1982 the interior of the courtly-looking church was renovated. In 2005 the frieze painting in the apse was renovated and the window frames repainted.

In July 2008, during an inspection of the roof structure, severe damage was discovered, which led to the church being closed due to the risk of collapse. The impending collapse could be averted at short notice by supporting the ceiling vault. The structural damage was probably a long-term consequence of the lightning strike of 1794.
