history

inside view

Due to the constant influx of people to Bogenhausen, the old parish church of St. Georg threatened to become too small for the community from the beginning of the 20th century. After various considerations about a new building and a space for it, which were later rejected, a conversion of the existing Rococo church was considered at the beginning of the 1930s . After protests from the citizens, the city of Munich donated the building site for Heilig Blut to the archdiocese. The church was built in 1934 in just eight months according to plans by Hans Döllgast . Georg Pezold designed the relief arch above the entrance ; He had previously been particularly active against the renovation of St. George and for a new building. Like all churches consecrated in 1934, Heilig Blut also received a relic of Konrad von Parzham, who was canonized in the same year .

Heilig Blut gained special significance through the resistance fighters Father Alfred Delp SJ and Hermann Josef Wehrle , who were pastors in the parish until their arrest in 1944. A memorial plaque on the Church of St. Georg commemorates her and other Bogenhausers from the resistance.

The church was badly damaged in World War II . Its reconstruction began in 1950, also under the direction of Hans Döllgast. Since then, the church has had a wooden ceiling instead of the original stucco ceiling. In place of the previous pointed tower, a new tower with a gable roof was built, with the bell cage raised.

From the beginning of August 1951 to the end of September 1952, Joseph Ratzinger, who later became Pope Benedict XVI. , Chaplain in Holy Blood, which the design of the entrance portal of the church has been reminding of since 2009.

In December 2018 the parishes of Heilig Blut and St. Gabriel merged to form a parish association.

Bells
