Founded in the 13th Century alongside a hospital for lepers and the lame, the first Church burned down; after some 60 years, the core of the present building was completed in 1392 in the gothic style. However, like many Bavarian churches of the period, it was completely remodelled inside in 1724-30 in the Baroque style, in this case featuring frescoes by the Asam brothers (who built the nearby Asamkirche), although the essential Gothic structure is easy to work out beneath the stucco. The frescoes depict the history of the hospital, which was demolished in the late 19th Century to make way for the market. Well worth a quick detour to visit.

The Marion Congregation was founded in the early 1900's and Fr Rupert Mayer the founder was well…read moreknown for his open stand against the nazi regime. He spoke out against anti-Catholic baiting campaigns and fought against Nazi church policy. Fr. Mayer spoke from the pulpit of St. Michael's in downtown Munich and because he was a powerful influence in the city, the Nazis could not tolerate such a force to oppose them. On 16 May 1937, the Gestapo ordered Fr. Mayer to stop speaking in public which he obeyed, but he continued to preach in church. He ended up in jail on numerous occasions as a result of his stand. It is an ordinary looking building from the outside but when you step in its beautiful. Nice ornate walls and ceiling and very peaceful. It was my first visit here and I was delighted we stepped in for a peek.

It was a fun, engaging mass, really designed for the kids. The altar and seating are for a mass in-the-round, seating is a full circle around the altar. Church was consecrated in 1850 and is attached to the Benedictine abbey. It was heavily damaged and rebuilt. Very friendly setting. Church is close to the train station, The Charles Hotel (thank you, concierge), and the botannical garden in central Munich. We did not tour the Abbey itself, which looks beautiful from pictures on the internet. But the church is very good for mass for kids, if you go to the Children's mass.

The Church, dedicated to St. Stephen, is the former cemetery church of the old South Cemetery of Munich. The church is a branch church of the Mother Parish of St. Peter. It was built from 1674 to 1677 by Georg Zwerger, to replace the previous wooden Salvatorkirchlein, erected in 1576. This was demolished in 1638, in the Thirty Years' War, to deny the invading Swedish force a foothold outside the city defences. The church is in a restrained baroque style: the most notable exterior feature is the small onion dome, which houses two small bronze bells.

A VERY FAMOUS MECHANICAL CLOCK IN MUNICH'S MARIENPLATZ…read more====================================================== My husband and I were walking around the Marienplatz on Friday, April 17, 2026 just before noon and the plaza started filling up with people waiting to see the life-size figures. The show lasts about fifteen minutes and starts daily at 11:00 a.m., 12:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. from March to October. The clock has 43 bells and 32 life-size figures and was added during the completion of the Neues Rathaus or New Town Hall in 1908. We found a good spot to stand and wait on the opposite side of the plaza which was great because we were in the shade. If you ever visit Munich you definitely have to check this out. There are plenty of places to shop or dine nearby.
