Kirche Mariä Himmelfart
Kirche Mariä Himmelfart stands in Unterbleichen, presenting a Baroque church with a clear structure and ornate interior details. Frescoes cover the walls and ceilings, showing scenes from Mary’s life alongside the Evangelists and Western Church Fathers.
Simpert Kraemer built the church in 1713 for the Teutonic Order. The order had acquired Unterbleichen from Wettenhausen Monastery in 1575. The church received its dedication to the Assumption of Mary in 1738, while Neo-Baroque influences appeared during the late nineteenth century.
Josef Stehle created the frescoes that shape the interior’s visual story. Johann Baptist Dollenbacher, a farmer and academic painter born in Unterbleichen in 1815, contributed a notable series of paintings. His Crucifixion scene occupies the high altar, with copies preserved in churches at Deisenhausen and St. Michael in Krumbach.
