St. Rupert is a Catholic parish church in the Schwanthalerhöhe district of Munich . It is the seat of the parish association Munich-Westend.

History and architecture

The neo-Romanesque church was 1901-1903, designed by the Munich architect Gabriel von Seidl built on 23 October 1903 benediziert and 1908 consecrated . It is a central building on the plan of a Greek cross with a lantern-like round crossing tower . All four cross arms close with conches . The particularly elaborately designed north arm with the portal sign is flanked by two low corner towers.

The exterior renovation of the church was completed at the end of 2017; it cost around three million euros. At the end of 2018, the Archbishop's Ordinariate withdrew its approval for the interior renovation, which was estimated at around ten million euros.

Furnishing

Inside, the 19 large leaded glass windows , which were created around 1965 as part of a thorough modernization of the interior by Georg Schönberger , are particularly impressive . The original painting was whitewashed in 1935.

Organs

The organ was built in 1905 by Franz Borgias Maerz as op. 497 with 28 stops on two manuals and a pedal . Large parts presumably come from the Maerz organ op. 206 from 1887 for the concert hall of the Royal Odeon . This had 25 stops on two manuals and was replaced in 1905 by a Walcker organ with IV / 62. The organ in St. Rupert was rebuilt in 1933 by Magnus Schmid and expanded to 37 registers. The cone store instrument today has 38 stops on two manuals and a pedal. The playing and stop actions are pneumatic. A special feature is the Vox humana register in the Schwellwerk , which is in an independent swell box.
