description

East view

The New Parish Church of St. Margaret ( Margaretenkirche , Margaretenplatz 1) designed by the Munich architect Michael Dosch with its impressive barrel vault, which spans the 21 meter wide and 75.50 meter long interior with a clear height of 26.60 meters, is one of the largest churches in the city. The facade was designed to be very three-dimensional, with the main accent on the west elevation with the 85.50 meter high tower, offset to the north. The sacred building, modeled on the Italian high baroque, brings Mediterranean flair to the quarter.

In 1891, the farmer Alois Stemmer from the neighboring Stemmerhof, together with two other Sendling farmers, Kaffler and Berger, founded a church building association for the project and donated the building site. Each of the three farmers paid 100,000 marks into the club's coffers, which would be one million euros in today's currency. Construction work began in 1902. It soon became clear that the cost planning of the architects and construction companies would not be adhered to. On top of that, the architect Dosch died in 1910, he was replaced by Franz Xaver Boemmel . When it was completed in 1913, the construction costs had exceeded the budget by 80% and the donors had to bring in additional personal assets. It was only thanks to Pastor Alois Gilg (1857–1943) that the difficulties of the project could be overcome and the building completed.

Interior of the New Margaret Church

In the interior, the Rococo altarpiece and two wooden sculptures from around 1500 depicting Saint George and Saint Margaret are particularly noteworthy.

Bells

Five bells hang in the tower . The two smaller bells were cast in 1913 by the Oberascher bell foundry in Munich and have outlasted the world wars. In 1958, Rudolf Perner added three large bells. Since then, the bell has been sounding in the disposition a 0 –cis 1 –e 1 –fis 1 –a 1 . The Margaret bell (middle) rings for the Angel of the Lord , in the evening the smallest bell rings for the poor soul. Sunday starts at 3 p.m. on Saturdays. All bells are rung one after the other, while the full ringing builds up as the largest bell rings. The clock strikes on the two large bells.

organ

Moser / Nenninger organ 1915–1944

The first organ in the church was built in 1915 by the organ building company Albert Moser & Leopold Nenninger . It had a special regional significance, as it was tonally aligned with the Alsatian organ reform . The organ was badly damaged in a bombing raid in 1944.

The successor organ was of Anton swing in 1955 after a planning design of Heinrich Wismeyer built in part. In 2002 the instrument was revised by the organ building company Münchner Orgelbau Johannes Führer and some registers were added. A new gaming table was also built. By spring 2018 the organ had 57  registers on three manuals and a pedal and will be fundamentally renovated and expanded by Johannes Klais Orgelbau ( Bonn ) by mid-2020 . It will have the following disposition with a total of 76 registers:
