St. Andreas

St. Andreas stands in Ochsenfurt as a Gothic hall church with three naves, a single-nave choir, and a six-storey tower from around 1288. Documents mention worship here in 1276, while the present choir and nave took shape during the second half of the fourteenth century. Gothic side chapels followed in 1471, surrounding an interior renovated in 1987 and 1988.

Five altars, fourteenth-century stained glass, and fifteenth-century choir stalls fill the 753-square-metre church with works from many centuries. The high altar, created by Georg Brenk the Elder between 1610 and 1612, rises into the Gothic vaulting and carries additions by Adolf Friedrich from 1953. A sandstone sacrament house from around 1496 to 1498 stands in the central nave, while a bronze baptismal font from 1514 and 1515 occupies the eastern chapel. A painted limewood Saint Nicholas by Tilman Riemenschneider, dating from around 1500, is another striking detail.

Outside, the Olivet Chapel dates from around 1510 to 1520 and contains late-sixteenth-century figures. Inside, the organ built by Siemann in 1929 has two manuals, 34 stops, and two transmission stops. A Baroque Capuchin nativity scene also finds its home here, displayed each year from the first Sunday of Advent until Candlemas on 2 February.
