Auferstehungskirche
Auferstehungskirche stands in Munich’s Schwanthalerhöhe district as a large Protestant church designed by German Bestelmeyer. Built for a growing Protestant community after the First World War, it opened in 1931 and holds up to 800 worshippers. Its scale gives the interior a spacious presence within Munich’s Westend.
Greek Orthodox services took place here during the 1980s, while a Pentecostal congregation from Togo used the church around the millennium. The building also hosted events on sects and worldviews during the 25th Evangelical Church Congress in 1993. Inside, Fritz Erler’s Last Supper fresco shares attention with an E. F. Walcker & Cie. organ from 1931, which has 42 stops, three manuals and a pedal.
Five bells occupy the tower, each carrying its own history. The largest was cast in 1959 and rings every Friday at 3pm in remembrance of Christ’s death.
