history
The church was built in 1958 according to plans by the architect Hansjakob Lill in the east of the Pasing district . The church patron is Saint Willibald von Eichstätt .
The establishment of the church coincides with the reorganization of the parishes in Munich. After the sudden increase in the number of inhabitants in the 1950s, the large, confusing parishes were to be divided into smaller parishes. The foundation stone of the church was laid on April 13, 1958 by the Munich auxiliary bishop Johannes Neuhäusler . The consecration took place on November 30, 1958, the first Sunday in Advent, by Cardinal Joseph Wendel . The church was initially the curate of the parish church of St. Ulrich . On January 1, 1963, she was raised to a parish . The leadership of the parish was given to the Society of the Divine Savior .
organ
The organ of St. Willibald was built in 1993 by the organ building company Alfred Führer (Wilhelmshaven) and is one of the few Munich organs that follows the sound ideal of organ building in North Germany. The instrument has 41 registers (2983 pipes) on three manuals and a pedal. The swell is placed behind the main housing. The game actions are mechanical, the stop actions as double actions (mechanical and electrical).

Bells
Above the tower clock, the five-story steel bell chair hangs the sonorous five-bell chime, which was cast in 1958 by the Johann Hahn bell foundry . The largest bell is richly decorated with surrounding medallions depicting the individual secrets of the rosary .
The full bell sounds every Saturday at 3 p.m. for the Sunday ring, before Sunday mass and for Sunday vespers. The ringing makes the big bell. The two small bells are rung before weekday masses. The Joseph's bell rings for the Angel of the Lord , and in the evening the St. Michael's bell rings when the poor soul rings . The clock is struck by the bells Josef (quarter hours) and Salvator (full hours).
