history
At the beginning of the First World War in 1914, there was a need for a church service room in the Munich barracks district due to the large number of soldiers mobilized there. A hall for church services was built near the clothing office of the 1st Bavarian Army Corps and the Oberwiesenfeld barracks . After the war ended, the church was rebuilt from 1922 and consecrated by Cardinal Faulhaber in 1923 . From then on it served as the garrison church of the Reichswehr for Munich, and it was supported by a church foundation . St. Barbara was expropriated in 1940, but continued to serve as a military church for the Wehrmacht .
After the end of the Second World War , the church became a branch church of St. Benno; until 1981 St. Barbara was the Church of the Polish Catholics in Munich. Since 1950 the church has been owned by a church foundation again.
building
The church, designed as a hall church , is a simple, elongated, single-storey building with a mansard roof , which still reveals its origins as a simple hall. On the gable end, which is decorated with frescoes by Waldemar Kolmsperger the Younger, there is a small garden. The entrance is in a small pavilion with a gable roof in the middle of the building. A roof turret houses the three church bells, which are still rung by a cable today. The current shape of the building is based on plans by Erich Goebel . The St. Barbara Church is a listed building.
location
The church is located on the site of the former military clothing office in the Schwabing district, on Infanteriestrasse opposite the Barbarasiedlung ; the actual church building is set back, separated from the street by a small garden.
