The saint figure of St. Anna is still housed in the parish church of St. Martin in Oberneuching.
Your place would be the St. Anna Chapel, which is integrated in the church.
The small place of prayer is now to be redesigned and Saint Anne is to be placed on a tabernacle.
Oberneuching
- That is the wish of the parish association St. Anna im Moosrain, founded in 2018, whose namesake is also Saint Anna.
But this project is expensive.
Therefore the parish association asks for donations.
The Anna Chapel is the left side chapel of the parish church.
The figure of the saint itself is currently to the left of the ambo on the choir arch.
In earlier times, however, she had her place in "her" chapel.
The patroness should now return there.
The Anna Chapel itself was probably built in the 14th / 15th centuries.
Century.
As the parish association informs, around 35,000 euros are due for the artistic design.
The cost of renovation work and installation is around 30,000 euros, so that a total of around 65,000 euros are required.
The art department of the Archdiocese of Munich-Freising is subsidizing this measure with around 20,000 euros.
The same amount is paid from the reserves, so the coverage gap is around 25,000 euros.
And now the faithful are asked to finance this amount.
About 7,000 euros have already been received in donations.
Matthias Larasser-Bergmeister from the Bergmeister art blacksmith has already made a draft.
The blacksmith from Ebersberg puts the figure of the saint back in the center of the church.
“The chapel is also the original form of the church,” Dean Michael Bayer knows from history.
Also that the design by Larasser-Bergmeister is controversial: On the one hand it is kept more modern, on the other hand it also says “Do we need it now?” Bayer, Neuching's parish association chairman Max Wittmann, parish council chairman Thomas Speyerer and church clerk Axel Hottinger clearly say “Yes ".
Information about the work is provided in the parish letter and in the entrance area of the parish church.
If Corona allows, information events should take place in spring.
The background of the altar area should be colored. Larasser-Bergmeister opted for a light purple-red tone for his design. The altar design itself should also shine with its simplicity and modernity. To do this, the neo-baroque altar paneling and the two wrought-iron sconces have to give way. A new altar plate made of bronze is to be installed. “This floats, carried by a bronze band that rises from the ground in the middle in front of the stipes and with the chiseled and gold-plated lettering: 'You are not carrying the root; the root carries you 'is occupied. The design of the lettering is freely set and intertwined in different letter sizes to form a text image. In terms of content, it refers to Saint Anna ”, says Larasser-Bergmeister in the description of the design.
The bronze ribbon rises and ultimately forms the background of the figure, which is also to be restored.
The basic materials used should be limited to bronze, gold leaf and sawn oak.
