The Befreiungshalle is a memorial on the Michelsberg in the Bavarian town of Kelheim. It was built between 1842 and 1863 by King Ludwig I of Bavaria, by the architects Friedrich von Gärtner and Leo von Klenze. Ancient central buildings served as a design model for the classicist monument, which is dedicated to the "German freedom fighters". (Source Wikipedia)

Essing is a small, nice market town. You can well imagine what it looked like before the big canal was built.

The Danube Cycle Path between Marching and Pförring is a short but very charming section on the Bavarian part of the route. It is located in the heart of Hallertau and the Danube valley and is characterized by its close-to-nature routing.

Stadtpfarrkirche St. Laurentius A first church was likely built in Neustadt as early as the 13th century, shortly after the town was founded in 1270. At the end of the 15th century, the late Gothic hall church, much of which is still preserved today, was erected at the central crossroads in the town. During the Baroque era, the furnishings were adapted to the tastes of the time. In 1723, the tower received a new upper storey, and in 1773, a Baroque dome. From 1741 onwards, the interior was redesigned, with the work concluding in 1779 with the acquisition of a new high altar. The altar panel, painted by Christian Fröhlich, depicted the martyrdom of the church patron, Lawrence of Rome. Artillery fire on April 26 and 27, 1945, before the end of World War II, severely damaged the church tower, causing it to collapse in October 1945 due to dilapidation, destroying the chancel along with the Baroque high altar. The reconstruction was initially delayed for financial reasons. The nave in the destroyed eastern section was extended by one bay, thus shifting the chancel further east. The church interior was equipped with a star rib vault, matching the still existing late Gothic bays. The chancel tower was rebuilt in modern forms. In 1951, the church building was reconsecrated by Archbishop Michael Buchberger. The church interior is furnished very simply according to the guidelines of the Second Vatican Council. In the chancel, besides the people's altar, ambo, and tabernacle, the stained glass window in the rear wall by Robert Rabolt from 1957 is particularly noteworthy. It depicts the Trinity, a so-called "Gracious Throne," flanked by a Mater Dolorosa and the martyrdom of the church patron Lawrence. The northern side altar, a valuable work from around 1500, is a winged altarpiece which, when closed, conceals a late Gothic figure of the Virgin Mary of unknown origin. The southern side altar consists solely of figures from the Neo-Gothic high altar. The main figure is Saint Wolfgang, accompanied by the four Church Fathers Ambrose, Jerome, Augustine, and Gregory the Great, on processional poles. Also interesting is the figure of Saint Lawrence, which was originally the main figure of the Neo-Gothic high altar and is now placed on one of the northern pillars.
