Guided Story

Imagine standing before one of the last neo-Gothic architectural marvels in Munich. Look up, and follow your gaze all the way to the impressive 95-meter spire. This church survived World War II and was lovingly restored afterward. The clock tower you see has marked time for many generations. As you step through the gate, feel the coolness of the stone and the enveloping silence. The intricate details on the facade tell stories from a time when craftsmanship was passed down through generations. Turn around and you'll see the Lutherkirche just a short distance away. Together with Heilig Kreuz, they form a remarkable pair of religious architecture in Giesing.
