Salvatorkirche
Salvatorkirche stands in Munich as a late Gothic church with pointed arches, ribbed vaults and intricate tracery.
The present Salvatorkirche dates from the year 1493.
It originally served as the cemetery church for the Frauenkirche, Munich’s Cathedral of Our Blessed Lady.
Its Gothic structure remains central to the building’s identity.
In 1829, the church became Greek Orthodox and gained a new religious role.
Leo von Klenze directed its renovation.
He designed the iconostasis, the Orthodox screen that separates the nave from the sanctuary.
The restoration renewed the exterior’s Gothic appearance.
Baroque elements were removed during that work.
During the Nazi period, mathematician Constantin Carathéodory served as a member of the church council.
Salvatorkirche brings together Gothic architecture, Greek Orthodox use and Munich history.
