Sankt Georg
Sankt Georg is a late Baroque hall church in Germany, with soft curves, solid walls and an onion-domed tower. Frobenius Forster, abbot of St. Emmeram, commissioned the present building between 1770 and 1776.
A medieval church already stood here, and a small bell, stone cross and Saint George statue preserve that earlier history. Inside, the high altar from around 1710 to 1720 combines sculpted columns with acanthus ornament, while Otto Gebhard’s frescoes cover the choir and nave. A late eighteenth-century pulpit carries lively scrollwork, and Josef Wittmann’s Pietà dates from around 1918.
The restored statue of Saint Nepomuk arrived after a Danube flood in 1909. Outside, an eighteenth-century fieldstone cemetery wall surrounds the church, while postwar extensions to the west and north reflect the congregation’s growth.
