Old parish church of St. Martin

The old parish church of St. Martin was until 1924 the catholic parish church of the independent municipality of Moosach until 1913 and then of the Munich district of the same name . Today it is on Moosacher St.-Martins-Platz .

history

A first church building at this point is first mentioned in a document in 815 as Count Cundhart's own church . The current building was built in the 12th and 13th centuries. The former Romanesque church is still preserved today in its foundation walls. The Romanesque structural elements on the apse are still clearly visible. Around 1500 the church was modernized and expanded in the late Gothic style. During the Thirty Years' War it was demolished and at times used as a horse stable. In the 17th century the sacristy was added and the furnishings were renewed, from which the pulpit is still preserved. Until 1909, St. Martin was a branch church of the Feldmoching parish and then became the seat of its own parish. After Moosach was incorporated into Munich in 1913, the larger, new St. Martin's Church was built on what is now Chemnitzer Platz in the early 1920s .
