This is one of the most beautifull monasterial churches in Bayern and famous for its elaborate deco. At the internetsite it stated it was openend each day but in fact this isn't so: the doors are opened which is to me different. Onece past the entrance one is situated in kind of a large lobby with side altars, from there one can peek trough the latticework to admire its interior. If you want to visit its entire nave and so on, one must visit on a sunday (but I forgot if it was mornings or afternoons). Cornerstone laid on the 5th of aug 1700. Original plans by G. A. Viscardi. The choir was completed in 1723, nave 1741consecrated, facade 1747 completed, tower 1747 completed and iis Interior was completed in 1766. Abrogated in the course of secularisation. Demolition was averted by re-ordination in 1816 to Royal “Landhofkirche”. 1923 Rented by the Benedictine abbey of Ettal until 1950, the brethren left the following year 1951. Since 1953 parish church for the western part of the city. After the founding of the modern St. Bernard Church (1964) linked to parish St. Magdalena. Since then the large Church is destined as secondary Church which serves for weddings and religious services. 1965-1978 Renovated. The church measures 87 meters long, 32 meters wide, Ridge height 43.5 metres, Tower 70 meters. In its interior a 1760 high altar, baroque pulpit, etc.

Anno 1256 had Louis II, Duke of Bavaria (also called "the strict") his wife Maria of Brabant executed by beheading for alleged infidelity (Donauwörth in 1256). As a penance the Duke founded anno 1263 on the "field of the Prince" in Lower Bavaria a monastery for the Cistercians from Aldersbach. This was imposed to him by Pope Alexander IV as "reconciliation" of his act. 1270-1290 Arose the first brick monastery building, this was repeatedly rebuilt, extended and renovated. After his death in 1294 the Duke was burried in the Abbey Church, though the exact location of his grave is no longer known. Also Ludwig's son, later emperor Ludwig dem Bayern, took the atoning sacrifice of his father to heart. He called it "monumentum paternae poenitentiae": monument of paternal penance. 11 October 1347 he died in the village of Puch in the vicinity of the monastery during a bears hunt. His heart is said to be buried in Fürstenfeld.

Reviewed By folieske4 - Antwerp, Belgium
Located on a hectic traffic crossroad. The Church with the medieval Hall is rare for Upper Bavaria and serves today as war monument. The "churches chapel", in slang, in the Bruch part of town was consecrated in 1440, the Interior, however, was still incomplete in 1452. The monastery had clearly financial problems. Mid 17th century the late Gothic decorations in beech and choir were refreshed in early Baroque. In 1743 the inhabitants promised an annual Leonhardifahrt (cattle and wagon procession) as a Memorial in connection with an infectious animal disease. St. Leonhard was since the 16th century the Patron Saint of animals, in particular of horses. The Leonhardifahrt, from 1921 held at irregular intervals, held regularly since 1966. In the course of secularisation, the St. Leonhard was nearly demolished. The Church was bought by the municipal in 1803 and retained as second Church. The Tower got a Baroque onion-shape, the Windows were changed to a round-shape.

Located at a hectic crossroad. Memorial for the dead marches’ victims of concentration camps (in German: "Todesmärsche") Landsberg / Kaufering, which took place only weeks befor the end of WW II, made by artist Hubertus von Pilgrim. The inscription reads: “Here the suffering of the prisoners from the Landsberg / Kaufering death camps, in the last days of the war in April 1945 passing into the unknown”. They were deported summer 1944 from labor camps near Kowno en Wilna to the Landsberg / Kaufering area, where the nazi regime in the final phase of the war (as in Mühldorf) wanted to biuld large bunkers as bomb-proof aircraft factories and where these prisoners were used as forced labour. During the evacuation they were driven via Fürstenfeldbruck first to Dachau and from there through the Würmtal, over Percha in Starnberg, Wolfratshausen, Beuerberg, Königsdorf and Bad Tölz to Reichersbeuern/Waakirchen. At this last stop died in the night of 1 to 2 may many prisoners by exhaustion and frost, just a few hours away from the liberation by American troops the next morning.

Die Amperbrücke kenne ich schon seit meiner Kindheit - sie ist vielleicht kein Schmuckstück, aber sie ist gerade deswegen etwas Besonderes, weil sie sehr nüchtern ist - und wegen der Statue des Heiligen Johannes Nepomuk. Man sollte sie auf jeden Fall mal ansehen - auch wenn sie vielleicht nicht besonders ins Auge sticht.

However, the acclaimed building stood only for 39 years. 1973 demolition, after the City Council moved in at "Zwerchhaus" Northern end of the market. This House was first half 17th century property of monasterial judge Hans Mayer (epitaph in St. Magdalena) and George Hirsch. George’s daughter of married the owner of ajoining Rößbüchel Brauerei (now Tengelmann branch) and brought the building (current Town Hall) into her mariage as a dowry. The building was part of the brewery for the next 150 years. In 1834 bought by municipality, they rented it out to the newly in 1823 founded “Court Bruck an der Staat”, who bought the building 15 years later. After the separation of judiciary and administration in 1861 it served the Bezirksamt (from 1946 onwards the Landratsamt). Behind the building's basement laid the summercellars of Roßbüchelbrauerei, later called Hazibräu. Kreiz- und Stadtsparkasse Bank took over the old town hall. All the buildings on the site between Hauptstraße and Pruggmayrstraße were demolished and a new building was built. The current Town Hall, due to the transverse location also called "Spire", finds its origin after Austrian troops set fire in 1704. The Baroque stucco from 1914 was retained in its current appearance.

As usual these are scarsely decorated, but on the contrary of other protestant churches does this one have a charming exterior. Church of the Savior. Church Center and mother church in the deanery. 1979 Renovation of the interior. Apsis room with altar in the East, tall ship with row of side banks, central aisle and three-sided Gallery. In front of the altar a crucifixion group, including Christ on the cross with Mary and John. 1979 the use of colour of the interior had been changed. 1990 a new organ (Sandtner) with chorus podium was consecrated. The formerly adjacent community space was 1986 extended and renovated.

Its is not located downtown, but if one walks via the Silbersteg (a small charming bridge) one can enjoy as well alongside the brook (there is also a park where one can sit down and enjoy the view or having a picknick). The Aumühle cmplex esits of multiple buildings. The first document that mentions the Furthmühle dates from the 12th century, named: the old “mill on Wagenhofen” date1165. The current walls of the mill are 18th century. The Aumühle serves the library since 20 years, located in this former monastery mill, a historical heritage ensemble with a picturesque setting. The Furthmühle has survived the centuries, the building was restored with a great deal of effort. Thanks to its dual function it will insure its future: half of the mill is Museum, the other half a small commercial operation. And that the millmaster’ name Aumüller is has a historical significance: since generations are the Aumüllers Millers, the family gained the Furthmühle in 1900. However, it is doubtful whether the tradition continues. The 49-year-old master Miller has three sons, who, however, have other interests: the oldest son studied business administration, the middle one is physiotherapist and the youngest wants to become a chemistry laboratory technician. A part of the complex houses the municipal library which also has a small cafeteria where one can have some coffee or tea and read one of the 80 newspapers or magazines, also snacks available..
