beautiful market square in Holzkirchen

A wooden church in Holzkirchen! "For architect Wimmer, wood was the building material of choice. Not only is wood from sustainable forestry and local forests completely climate-friendly, but concrete and steel would not have been suitable for this project anyway for various reasons. The support-free, conical spatial shells could be realized much more cost-effectively using wood. Furthermore, wooden buildings typically convey a sense of security and grounding. The wood comes from regional sources. The construction was primarily made of glulam from Central European forests, primarily spruce. The conical roofs were clad with larch shingles, and the timber framing nodes are made of beech. Where fire protection had to be considered or design aspects were crucial, oak was used."

This beautiful chapel is directly connected to the cemetery wall…

The Roman Catholic parish church of St. Laurentius in Holzkirchen was built around 1700. More information: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Laurentius_(Holzkirchen)

A large war memorial stands in a prominent location on the market square in Holzkirchen (Upper Bavaria) just below the St. Laurentius Church. The memorial is designed as a fountain with a water basin. A soldier kneels on a pedestal in the middle, with a child at his side. The memorial was erected in 1923 with a bronze name plate. After the Second World War, two similar plaques were added. Below is a small memorial plaque for the 402nd Cycling Battalion.

Justification for the coat of arms: The church surrounded by fir trees creates an image that fully speaks for the place name: church in or on the wood (old Bavarian for forest). Holzkirchen was the market town of the Tegernsee monastery with only minimal self-government rights. The first market seal from the 16th century shows a church with a pointed tower in a naturalistic forest, with stars above it. In the 18th century seal, the church tower has an onion dome, the forest only has two trees; a growing angel hovers above the church. In the oldest coloured depictions of the coat of arms (1562, 1568), a diamond shield head was added to the seal. In 1812, the market town's coat of arms stated that a church with a pointed tower in a naturalistic forest was its coat of arms. In 1818, the Miesbach district court declared that the market town had never had a coat of arms. Hupp (1912) gives the old market seal as the town's coat of arms. It was not until 1929 that the market town of Holzkirchen received permission from the Ministry of the Interior to use a coat of arms. The design of the coat of arms was based on the oldest market seal (church with a gable roof, three trees). This coat of arms has been in use since 1929.

Autumn also has its charm due to its play of colors.

As we all know, art is in the eye of the beholder.... I'll leave it at that.
