Dorfen - Pilgrimage Church of the Assumption of Mary

            Dorfen in the Isental, a community in the Upper Bavarian district of Erding, was once home to the second largest Marian pilgrimage in Bavaria.
In the High Middle Ages, a chapel dedicated to Mary stood on the current site, which was replaced by a late Gothic church between 1400 and 1470.
Pilgrimages are definitely documented from 1632 onwards, but there may have been pilgrimages before that, but records of them were lost in the chaos of the Thirty Years' War.
The flow of pilgrims increased continuously after the miraculous power of the image of Mary was confirmed in 1707.
In order to cope with the large number of pilgrims, a larger number of priests were also required. Between 1717 and 1719, a priest's house was built in the west, which housed part of the Freising seminary between 1775 and 1803. In 1785, for example, 58,000 pilgrims received communion.
In 1782, the nave collapsed and was rebuilt by Mathias Rösler in the early classicist style, incorporating the late Gothic choir and tower substructure.
After secularization in 1803, the flow of pilgrims dwindled sharply, and in 1813 Dorfen became an independent parish.
The ceiling frescoes were painted by Johann Huber in 1786. The high altar is a replica of the late Baroque altar designed by Egid Quirin Asam in 1728 and erected in 1740/49. This Asam altar was replaced by a neo-Romanesque altar in 1868. From 1963 to 1971, the Asam altar was reconstructed as part of the church renovation.
