Guided Story

Imagine it's 1931. You're standing here, hearing the solemn sounds of this church's consecration, which was celebrated as the first modern church building in Munich. Look up at the clean lines of the roof, arching over you like a protective canopy. Behind you is the peaceful neighborhood of Harlaching, where the air carries a sense of tranquility. Did you know that in 1944, this church faced a grim fate? A firebomb hit it, but the community didn't give up. By 1949, they rebuilt it, and since then, it's been a beacon of hope and unity. Step inside and feel the warm, welcoming ambiance that surrounds you. You might also notice how the light streams through the windows, casting patterns on the floor.
