With the town elevation, the old Church of the Birth of the Virgin , located on the Würm , could no longer meet the growing demands of pastoral care. So a new parish church was planned on the then free field on today's Bäckerstrasse. The Munich architect Hans Schurr (1864–1934) designed a three-aisled basilica in the neo-Romanesque style, which is centered in the crossing by transept arms and similar window rosettes at the ends of the nave . The tower, visible from afar, with its 60 meters, is almost as high as the entire building. The foundation stone was laid on June 16, 1905, and the shell of the church was completed by November 1906.

On March 7, 1909, it was given a special permit and was ready for worship. Because of the war , the church could only be opened on July 28, 1918 in the presence of the patron , King Ludwig III. , to be consecrated by Archbishop Michael von Faulhaber in honor of Mary, the patroness of Bavaria (only on April 26, 1916 did Pope Benedict XV at the request of King Ludwig III proclaim Mary patroness of Bavaria).

The interior of the church was originally decorated by Hans Kögl and Josef Hengge with a cycle of Marian pictures, which however perished in the Second World War due to the impact of a bomb . After the restoration of the building immediately after the end of the war, Michael Weingartner carried out a remarkable repainting in 1955 , whereby the individual pieces of equipment were again combined into a complete work of art with a uniform program, but the neo-Romanesque stylistic devices, which were still discredited at the time, were obscured.

From May 1982 to July 1986 a comprehensive renovation of the church took place under the direction of Alfred Laut, which was carried out in four phases. In the course of this renovation, the mature artist was able to revise his "youthful sins" of the unencumbered post-war period in 1985/86 and subordinate his largest work in terms of area to the now prestigious neo-Romanesque architecture and increase its design elements, belt arches, ridges, vaults and wall surfaces to an impressive effect.

On December 1, 2013 the parishes of Maria Schutz and St. Hildegard merged to form a parish association .

inner space

The eye-catcher of the church is the monumental protective cloak floating in the choir apse , who - identified by the Bavarian royal crown as Patrona Bavariae - holds her arms over the Archdiocese of Munich-Freising and the adjacent Bavarian dioceses, represented by the diocese patron. Your eyes captivate the visitor at every point in the church.

On the round picture of the choir vault, the parish priest Georg Wachinger (1914–1927) in association with Pope Benedict XV. and King Ludwig III. the new parish church of the patroness of Bavaria.

On the other paintings by Weingartner, Christ's work of redemption, which became necessary through the fall of his first parents, is shown from the proclamation of his incarnation (nave vault) through birth, public work (nave walls), passion and resurrection (transept) to the sending of the Holy Spirit (crossing dome), supplemented by the images of the baptism of Jesus in the baptistery and his return in glory in the niche of the Christ the King altar. A testimony to the knowledge that lies behind this painting is also the image of the Antonius Chapel, where the miracles and the veneration of this saint are sketched in symbolic abbreviations. From the south wall of the transept, the characterful St. Christophorus consoling the believers.

In contrast to the paintings, the rich treasure of sculptures has been preserved from the time it was built. The triumphal arch-like west portal with the Majestas Domini between Maria and Joseph in the tympanum and with the two princes of the apostles as guardians is the work of Max Heilmaier (1869–1923). The figural and ornamental granite capitals of the nave, the life-size wooden statues of Saints Rasso and Elisabeth in the organ gallery, the busts of Saints Heinrich and Gisela above the side portals and the figure of St. Anthony of Padua was created by the young Hans Miller from Munich. The sandstone replica of St. Mary on the side altar was made by the same sculptor. George after Donatello and on the high altar the brass reliefs, which have been arranged like wings since 1955, in driving work (Manna rain, wonderful bread multiplication, worship of the altar sacrament, wine miracles at Cana and water miracles of Moses). The Michelangelesque Pietà in Carrara marble in the left arm of the transept was made by Eduard Fischer, who was born in the Allgäu. The Mayer'sche Hofkunstanstalt executed the shiny silver Josefs altar according to a design by Josef Flossmann (1862–1914), whereby the saints of the side reliefs (Joseph leads the Holy Family to Egypt, rest of St. Genoveva) are donated to the donors Jos. and Gen. Retzer remember. In 1946, the same workshop also made the colored glass rosettes based on designs by Professor Felix Baumhauer (1876–1960): St. Cäcilia in the west, the Holy Family and the Resurrection of Christ to the side.

A later reworked crucifix, attributed to Roman Anton Boos (1733–1810), adorns the war memorial chapel, which was also redesigned by Weingartner, originally a replica of the emergency church that Bavarian soldiers had set up in the schoolhouse in Bailleul near Arras during the First World War.

organ

Schuster with 52 registers and is now in such a bad condition that the church administration decided in September 2008 to build a new organ. The organ building association Maria Schutz München-Pasing eV is responsible for realizing the new organ building project together with the church administration.The instrument from 1968 was dismantled in 2018. The new instrument is currently being built. It should have 59 registers, including 12 extensions, on three manual works and a pedal.

Church crib

In Maria Schutz, a large church crib is set up every year from Advent to White Sunday, which has existed since 1928.

The representations are:

  • Annunciation (beginning of December)
  • Annunciation to the shepherds in the field (Advent season)
  • Bethlehem Stable with Adoration of the Shepherds (Christmas)
  • Adoration of the Magi (Epiphany)
