St. Michael

Former parish church of the village of Pfersee near Augsburg, which has been part of the city since 1911. From 1907 to 1910, a new and much larger parish church, namely the Herz-Jesu Kirche, was built because the population had grown enormously due to industrialization.

 

St. Michael was rebuilt in 1685 on the remains of a medieval church. The onion-shaped tower dome from 1693 was constructed by Hans Georg Mozart, a master mason from Augsburg in the Baroque period and great-granduncle of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, whose ancestors all originate from the Augsburg area.
