St. Petrus und Paulus in Inningen

One of countless baroque churches with an onion dome in Bavaria: the Catholic Parish Church of Inningen, built in 1713.

 

When the Baroque church was built, the Gothic church tower of the previous building was retained, but was given an octagonal superstructure with an onion dome, which was clearly influenced by the model of the Basilica of St Ulrich and Afra in Augsburg.

 

Inningen was an agriculture-based community until the 2nd World War. After the war, the village developed into a preferred residential area near the city of Augsburg, which eventually annexed it in 1972.
