Heilig Kreuz
Heilig Kreuz stands on the summit of Giesinger Berg in Munich-Giesing, a neo-Gothic church with a prominent urban setting. Consecrated in 1886, it remains Munich’s last completely preserved neo-Gothic church and Giesing’s oldest parish church.
A late Romanesque church occupied this site in the twelfth century, before Georg von Dollmann began the larger replacement in 1866. Construction ended twenty years later, while a 1944 bomb destroyed the roof and caused severe interior damage through water and frost. Restoration began in 1948, continued through the 1970s, and culminated in a comprehensive renovation in 2015. Inside, Josef Beyrer’s high altar follows Dollmann’s designs, while Christoph Brech’s stained-glass windows arrived in 2019. Ludwig Eisenbarth’s organ, acoustically adapted in 1985, adds another crafted detail.
