Assumption Church Sendling

The Ascension Church is an Evangelical Lutheran church building in Munich- Sendling , Kidlerstrasse 15. Because of its quiet location and good acoustics, it is occasionally used for sound recordings for small and medium-sized casts.

history

The church building was built in 1917 through the renovation of the "Elysium entertainment establishment", a large restaurant in the Wilhelmine style, which had served as a meeting place, beer hall, theater, opera and variety and was acquired by the community for the construction of a place of worship. The conversion of the “Elysium” into the Church of the Assumption was largely initiated and operated by the parish priest and later regional bishop Hans Meiser . After about a year of renovation according to plans by the building councilor Georg Zeitler (Munich), the rear hall could be used as an “emergency church”.

The bell tower was added to the southeast in 1919–1920. The new church interior (today's nave) was inaugurated in November 1920. The church was laid out as a basilica, had a broad nave with side aisles.

The Church of the Assumption was badly damaged in bombing raids in 1942 and 1943 and finally destroyed in 1944. In the years 1950 to 1953 the church was rebuilt using rubble blocks . A new bell tower was built facing the street.
