Maria Queen of Peace is a Catholic parish church in Munich .

location

The church Maria Königin des Friedens is in the district of Obergiesing near the Ostfriedhof , at the corner of Werinherstrasse and Untersbergstrasse.

history

The community was initially founded in 1935 as the Kuratie von Heilig-Kreuz . The construction of the church began in 1935 and was solemnly consecrated on October 24, 1937 by the Archbishop of Munich, Cardinal Michael von Faulhaber . Originally, Saint Thomas More should be the patron saint, who had refused allegiance to Henry VIII of England for religious reasons. Cardinal Faulhaber rejected this plan, however, in order not to come into conflict with the National Socialist rulers. In 1941 Maria Queen of Peace became an independent parish .

After severe damage in the Second World War , the church was rebuilt in 1946 and 1947, again under the direction of Vorhoelzer. A redesign of the choir by Christine Stadler in 1968 had become necessary due to the liturgical reform of the Second Vatican Council ; The old altar was replaced by a new one so that the pastor could celebrate Mass facing the community. After a renewed renovation in 1987, the altar and the choir are now in the original style.

building

Robert Vorhoelzer first designed a church in the New Building style in the spring of 1935 , but it was not enforceable under the National Socialists. A second design showed a moderately modern church building with neo-Romanesque form elements, which was built in 1936/37 and rebuilt in 1946/47 after severe war damage; the church is a listed building .

The nave with narrow high windows is 66 meters long, 23 meters wide and 28 meters high; the church tower to the north measures 43 meters. The tower and the entrance facade are clad with Nagelfluh , the rest of the nave is brightly plastered. The gable roof is supported by 14 pillars in the interior; this is provided with a flat wooden beam ceiling.

With 700 seats, the church offers space for a total of around 2000 people.

For the new construction of the parish church of St. Josef in Dingolfing (execution: 1954–1957) Vorhoelzer took up the basic motifs of the Church of Mary Queen of Peace.

Furnishing

There is a relief by Karl Knappe above the entrance portal . The main part of the large fresco in the choir depicts Our Lady with the child, accompanied by two angels . Pope Benedict XV kneels before Mary . , during the First World War he had included the invocation of Mary “Queen of Peace!” in the Litany of Loreto. Two smaller parts of the fresco deal with the consecration of the church and war and death. The two texts positioned at the bottom of the picture read:

"Give peace, Lord, in our days, for there is no one else who fights for us than You our God."

and

“Mary, help Christianity, show your help to us at all times. Stay with us with your grace. Keep us in soul and body. Patroness full of kindness, watch over us all the time. "

While the first text passage refers to the Gregorian antiphon "Da pacem, Domine, in diebus nostris" from the 9th century, the second text quotes the popular Marian hymn " Maria, open your coat ". The choir fresco, like the pictures on the side altars and the Stations of the Cross , was made by Albert Burkart .

Organs

Main organ (Zeilhuber)

The parish church Maria Königin des Friedens has a total of three organs: the main organ, the choir organ and a small Zeilhuber positive from 1971 with six registers by the organ builder Zeilhuber .

Main organ (Zeilhuber, 1948)

The main organ on the west gallery dates from 1948 and was built by the Zeilhuber company from Old Towns. Of the 54 registers originally planned, only 37 registers were partially expanded. While the main and positive movement are completely built in, only one of two wind chests was implemented in the spacious swell box, and some pedal registers were not built in. The Zeilhuber organ has a number of noteworthy peculiarities, such as the fact that numerous older pipe material has been reused. In addition, the organ in the main work has an 8 'horn register and two open 16' labial registers in the pedal. In the lower case there is a two-manual pneumatic emergency play table from which part of the main and positive movement as well as the pedal can be controlled. In 1995 a minor renovation was carried out by the Munich organ builder Johannes Führer .

Choir organ (Klais 1989)

Choir organ (Klais)

The choir organ was built in 1989 by the Bonn organ builder Klais and has 16 stops. From the perspective of the leaflet published in 1989 for the consecration, the small choir organ should take over the tasks of the main organ, which is incorrectly referred to in this leaflet as the "organ torso". In fact, it can be proven that the services were accompanied almost exclusively on the choir organ over a longer period of time.
