Monastery Church of St. John the Evangelist - Mallersdorf On the site of the current church, a new building was built in the 12th century and consecrated in 1177. This was significantly rebuilt in the late Romanesque style in the middle of the 13th century and re-consecrated in 1265. It was a three-aisled basilica without a transept. Its double tower front with the west portal is largely preserved, and the core of the nave is also likely to date back to this building. The spacious late Gothic choir was built between 1460 and 1463. From 1613 onwards, it was redesigned to its current form as a wall pillar church. Around 1670, it was refitted in the Baroque style. From 1740 onwards, it was redesigned in the Rococo style. The high altar is considered one of the main works of the Rococo sculptor Ignaz Günther. The vaulted structure with four light grey-reddish marbled columns contains an altarpiece painted in 1749 by Martin Speer, which shows the Evangelist John on Patmos hurling lightning at unbelievers lying on the ground. Flanked: on the left, St. Emperor Henry II and St. Benedict, on the right, St. Scholastica and St. Cunigunde. The altarpiece shows the Apocalypse. In the centre is the Apocalyptic Woman, a symbol of the church fleeing from the seven-headed dragon. Above her is the Archangel Michael with a flaming sword, who is about to wrestle the dragon down. The two four-column altars in the first niche are the cross altar (left) with an altarpiece of the crucifixion of Christ, flanked by figures of St. Clara and Pope Gregory the Great, and an excerpt of the Last Supper, as well as the Annunciation Altar (right) with an altarpiece of the Annunciation scene, and an excerpt of God the Father and the Holy Spirit. In the second chapel there are now only two-column altars, namely the Guardian Angel Altar (right), in the excerpt of which the Apostle James the Elder is depicted, and the Benedict Altar (left) with the only side altarpiece signed by Speer and an excerpt of John the Baptist. In the third niche there is the Sebastian Altar on the left and the Mary Altar on the right. The two rear side altars are the Vitus Altar (left) with a depiction of St. Christopher in the excerpt and the Florian Altar (right) with an altarpiece of the weather saints John and Paul.

Mallersdorf Monastery The monastery dedicated to St. John the Evangelist was founded in 1107 by Heinrich von Kirchberg, a ministerial of the Imperial Abbey of Niedermünster in Regensburg. In 1109, Bishop Hartwig consecrated the St. John Chapel, which had already been consecrated by Bishop Wolfgang, as Mallersdorf's first monastery church. In 1136, Abbot Eppo dissolved the double monastery (as a community of men and women) that had probably existed in Mallersdorf up to that point, and the women's convent moved to neighboring Eitting. Romanesque church buildings in the 12th century, a religious heyday in the 13th century, and the Kastler Reformation in the 15th century shaped the later Middle Ages. The abbey was on the verge of dissolution in the middle of the 16th century. The monastery's position was consolidated when the monks from the Ebersberg Benedictine Abbey, which had been abolished by Pope Clement VIII in 1595, moved there. Under Abbot Anton Schelshorn (1665–1695), the central training center of the Bavarian Benedictine Congregation was established in Mallersdorf. In the 18th century, the monastery experienced another cultural, scientific and religious heyday. This was expressed in the redesign of the monastery church, which culminated in the construction of the artistically outstanding high altar by the Munich sculptor Ignaz Günther. The Latin school run by monks in the monastery on the Johannisberg enjoyed an excellent reputation. In 1803, the monastery was dissolved as part of the secularization in Bavaria. The goods were auctioned off, and from 1807 onwards the monastery buildings were used as offices for the district authorities and as official residences. Since 1869, sisters from the order of the Poor Franciscan Sisters of the Holy Family have lived in the monastery. Today they run a monastery brewery there, which brews around 60 hectoliters of beer per week. The monastery also runs the "Specialist Academy for Social Pedagogy of the Poor Franciscan Sisters of Mallersdorf". There is also the Nardini Secondary School, named after the founder of the community. In August 2014, it was reported that Sister Doris Engelhard, a nun at the abbey and certified master brewer, is the last beer-brewing nun in Europe. She has been brewing beer in the abbey for over 40 years. Brewing in the abbey was revived in 1881. On brewing days, she is exempt from morning prayers and begins work in the abbey's brewery at 3:30 a.m. Source: www.wikipedia.de
