Laying of the foundation stone 24th April 1900 / Inauguration 1. Advent 1901 / open to services
The church of Christ had just celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2001 and carried out expensive renovation work in advance, when on July 28, 2002, a fist-sized section of wall crackled from above onto the organ bench. One minute before the organist took a seat. The church was closed. Their renovation was extremely expensive.
The Christuskirche stands on the site of the former special purpose farm of Lindau. Since the middle of the 12th century, v.a. Leprosy an isolated life. But they were not forgotten, because the Christian duty required to support them. Therefore, the Siechenhof received donations, foundations and a pastor. After the leprosy was defeated, the Siechenhof was demolished in 1749. His church, St. Gangolf (built before 1290), but remained until it was demolished in 1573 because of dilapidated and newly built. Since she was already 37 years Protestant and the fair since 1536 abolished. When the town was to be re-Catholicized in 1552, the farmers called on the Lindau Council. The Thirty Years War (1618-1648) brought hard times. First broke out the plague, then threatened in 1628 again the recatholicization. The Lindau Council had wanted to introduce the ear confession and thus triggered a riot. Emperor Ferdinand II used it to send 700 soldiers and Jesuits. St. Gangolf fell to the Jesuits. Pastor Mathäus Reiser was taken from the pulpit, chased out and on the same day the new gentlemen read a mass. When the Swedes arrived in 1647 it became easier, but only after the withdrawal of the imperial army and the Jesuits in 1649 could St. Gallen be preached again in St. Gangolf.
Until 1820, the church was a branch of St. Stephan. Then St. Gangolf became an independent parish church. But the church was dilapidated and too small. In 1896 the congregation decided to build a new building and, when it was finished, tore off St. Gangolf with a heavy heart. The Bavarian court architect Friedrich von Thiersch designed the plan for the new church. On the first Sunday in 1901, the church was consecrated, but it was not until her fiftieth birthday that she received a name: Christuskirche, after the resurrection of the altar. Her entire interior, including stained glass windows, is donated. Children love v.a. the pulpit. It has the shape of a vine and Jakob Bradl from Munich carved lizards, birds and a church mouse into the oak tree.
