The Church of the Birth of Mary is the old Roman Catholic parish church in Munich's Pasing district .

history

In 1315 the church was first mentioned as a branch of the parish of Aubing . It was destroyed in the Bavarian Civil War in 1422. A late Gothic stone church was built on the previous floor plan, the tower of which collapsed in 1588. The reconstruction was completed by 1608. A renovation in the baroque style followed in 1680. Before and with the rise of Pasing to an independent parish in 1881, various modifications were made. The nave was enlarged in two steps: in the middle of the 19th century it was widened to the north, and in 1882 it was lengthened; the sacristy was added in 1864 and the spire was regotified (1882). The status of the parish church was transferred to the new Maria Schutz building in Bäckerstraße in 1910 . The Order of the Passionists took over the care of the church from 1924 .

Furnishing

The neo-Gothic high altar in the ribbed vaulted choir has a seated figure of the Mother of God, flanked by the Saints Korbinian and Engelbert . The two choir windows behind the high altar come from the Mayer'schen Hofkunstanstalt in Munich. The Annunciation to Mary is depicted on the left window and Christ on the Mount of Olives on the right . Epitaphs of Pasinger Hofmarksherren can be found on the walls of the choir polygon. Baroque figures of saints stand on consoles: Leonhard on the north wall, Nikolaus and Ulrich on the south wall .

On the walls of the nave, which was renovated in 1952 with a wooden ceiling, there are twelve baroque statues of the apostles, pictures of the Stations of the Cross by Max Schmalzl in the style of the Nazarenes and a late Gothic crucifix. The neo-Gothic side altars, which were re-erected in reduced forms in 1980, contain new altar leaves, painted by the Spanish Passionist Father Delpino. The left shows the founder of the order Paul von Kreuz , the right shows the crucifixion of Christ. To the right of the left side altar is a statue of St. Gabriel Possenti from the Order of the Passionists.
