Guided Story
Look up and notice the stunning glass facade, capturing and directing light into the serene interior. This church, right in the heart of Schwabing-West, is more than a place of worship; it's a testament to New Objectivity architecture. Its clean, simple lines embody the 'less is more' philosophy. Imagine back in 1929, when the foundation stone was laid—a time of change and hope. Turn around, and you'll spot the Luitpoldpark with its distinctive obelisk. It's a perfect spot to linger a little longer and soak in the tranquility.
