Over the rooftops of the former district town of Wolfratshausen, the onion dome of the parish church of St. Andreas, which rises broadly and imposingly from its base, greets the land and its people at the confluence of the Loisach and Isar rivers as a "resting pole in the appearance of flight". The sound of bronze bells fills the valley of the rivers from one steep slope to the other. If the tower had human memory, it could, as a key witness, tell the story of Wolfratshausen's eventful fortunes more vividly than any chronicler. Much has happened at its feet over the centuries, joyful and sorrowful, peaceful and warlike.

When visitors step into the now stylishly restored church to linger in peace, they must realize that, as the styles and construction phases changed, the place of worship has increasingly become what it has to show today in its magnificent decor. The Wolfratshausen parish church, with its structure and furnishings, has interesting works of local art from the 17th century.

In my opinion, one of the best series currently on TV. With a lot of humor, the series deserves its long run.
Although I do miss Staller.

After the Gothic church burned down in 1484, a new building was built in 1621-1626 by the Munich court mason Georg Graf, using the medieval tower ground floor again. In 1630/1631, the octagonal tower upper floor with onion dome was added. In 1724, the organ gallery was installed by the master mason Benedikt Schafstetter and the stucco worker Urban Graetz from Kempfenhausen. The stucco decoration was expanded on a larger scale in 1906. In 1937, oratorios were installed in the choir. Further repairs were carried out in 1981/1982, with the south entrance being moved one bay to the west.
