Paulanerkirche (Munich)

Paulanerkirche and Paulanerkloster in der Au, Michael Wening 1702

The Paulanerkirche was a monastery church in the Munich Au . From 1621 to 1623 it was built by Hans Krumpper in the early Baroque style and was considered his main work. In 1902 it was canceled.

history

In 1625 the monastery church was built for monks of St. Blaise after Karl Borromeo and consecrated as St. Karl Borromeo. From 1627 Maximilian I (Bavaria) occupied the small monastery with Paulans , who built the Neudeck monastery here. In 1660, foundations by Elector Ferdinand Maria enabled the monastery to be rebuilt, which was attached to the church. In 1702 this building was depicted in a copper engraving by Michael Wening .

Since the parish pastoral care was entrusted to the Paulans, the monastery church was in fact also the parish church of the Au. In 1799 the monastery was closed in order to use it as a military hospital and later as a prison ( Neudeck correctional facility ). In 1885 a fire destroyed all the furnishings. In 1902 the church and the monastery building were converted into a district court.

Today the Munich District Office is housed on Mariahilfplatz . The outline of the former church is indicated by lighter paving stones in the inner courtyard. The Paulaner brewery on site also goes back to the Paulaner monastery.
