A look inside the church

Tünzhausen is a church village in the western district of Freising in Upper Bavaria . The place is on the rise of the Ampertal in the east adjoining tertiary hill country , about two and a half kilometers east of Allershausen , whose district is Tünzhausen since 1972. About 180 people live in the village.

history

The parish of Tünzhausen was assigned to the Weihenstephan Monastery since its establishment in the 11th century. With its dissolution in the course of secularization in 1803, Tünzhausen came to the parish of Sankt Josef in Allershausen. The parish has been the curate of the parish of St. Quirin in Kranzberg since 1815 . In 1632 the church was sacked by the Swedes. During the Baroque period, the church developed into a pilgrimage church, in which Saint Leonhard in particular was venerated. There was even a brotherhood of their own to take care of the pilgrimages.

Until the 19th century Tünzhausen was a direct place in the district court of Kranzberg and the seat of a main team .

According to the first community edict, Tünzhausen became one of 29 tax districts of the Freising Regional Court in 1808 . In the course of the formation of the community after the second community edict in 1818 , Tünzhausen became a politically independent rural community together with the districts of Göttschlag, Kreuth, Schnotting and Schönbichl.

During the municipal reorganization of Bavaria , Tünzhausen lost this status on January 1, 1972. The districts of Göttschlag, Kreuth and Tünzhausen were incorporated into Allershausen, the Schnotting district to Kirchdorf an der Amper , and the Schönbichl district to Kranzberg .

Attractions

The townscape is shaped by the tower of the subsidiary church St. Peter and Paul , which was built on a ridge above the Ampertal, visible from afar.

Originally the tower of the church was a Romanesque defense tower from the 13th century. After the tower had lost its function as a fortification, the residents of the village set up a chapel on the ground floor. The round-arch friezes that adorn the tower at a height of around four meters are typical of this period in the Middle Ages. The small tower windows in all four directions are also typically Romanesque. Relics of the painting have been preserved on the eastern windows. The spire consists of a short eight-sided roof. Due to the extension from the Baroque period, the proportions of the tower and nave are no longer correct.
