The Catholic parish church of St. Anna im Lehel , built between 1887 and 1892 in the neo-Romanesque style according to plans by Gabriel von Seidl , is the main parish church of Lehel and is considered one of the best examples of historicism in Munich .

history

After the Lehel developed more and more into a (large) bourgeois district with a growing number of inhabitants, the monastery church of St. Anna im Lehel soon proved to be too small from the middle of the 19th century. It turned out to be a stroke of luck that the square across from the St. Anna monastery church belonged to the printing shop owner and sponsor of Karl Valentin Franz Erlacher, who donated this square for the new church. Gabriel von Seidl won the limited Munich architectural competition of 1885 for a new building . On October 30, 1887, was carried out groundbreaking ceremony , the church itself was founded on Oct. 22, 1892 consecrated .

During the Second World War , the parish church of St. Anna im Lehel was hit four times in 1944/45. In the years 1954 to 1955, the war damage was largely repaired by H. Roth. Between 1971 and 1972, A. Dietrich carried out another general renovation. Almost all of the neo-Romanesque furnishings were removed, and the frescoes in the transept by Carl Johann Becker-Gundahl , with the exception of the choir apse, were whitewashed. The mosaics were also painted over and the tondi in the central nave were chopped off. In various restoration phases from 1980 to 1990, the pieces of equipment that could still be found were returned to the parish church and mosaics were uncovered. After a storm damage in October 2014, the tower was completely renovated.

Program and concept

Gabriel von Seidl chose a neo-Romanesque style as the architectural style, which is based on the Rhenish Romanesque, especially the imperial cathedrals . Above all, there are political reasons for this. After the establishment of the German Empire in 1871, Romanesque was seen as an architectural style that emphasizes loyalty to the dynastic empire and at the same time creates a continuity with the Roman-German empire of the Middle Ages .

The floor plan of the parish church therefore shows a three-aisled, groin-vaulted pillar basilica with a transept and a square crossing . The nave has four yokes . In the east there is an apse extended by a yoke , on which there are concentric surrounding rooms. The transept accommodates four apsidal side altars. The west work from the outside looks like a big powerful tower , which has its own transept. Inside, however, it can be seen that the westwork consists of two side chapels and the tower floor. From the outside, the parish church looks like a building complex of nested, contrasting structures , which are often perceived as more harmonious than the structure of the Evangelical Lutheran parish church of St. Luke .

In order to correspond with the double tower facade of the monastery church St. Anna im Lehel, which was built in the arched style, Gabriel von Seidl chose a single tower solution. The tower received a two-story portal - aedicule . It is crowned by a larger than life equestrian statue of Christ, who holds an olive branch in his right hand and an arch in his left. This is considered an iconographic rarity.

Bells

The big Anna bell only rings on the highest holidays. It wears an elaborate decoration for Bochum cast steel bells of its time.

In 1892 Ulrich Kortler from Munich-Neuhausen cast an eight-part loud bells in the striking tones as 0 , c 1 , es 1 , f 1 , g 1 , ace 1 , b 1 and c 2 with a total weight of 9,619 kg, the largest of which Bell alone weighed 3,958 kg. The two world wars reduced the peal to two bells; the cast iron yokes, some of which are still hanging in the bell cage, bear witness to the bells that existed before the world wars. In 1950, the Bochum Association added the two large cast steel bells Anna and Maria .
