St. Wolfgang (Haidhausen)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The preserved church tower of St. Wolfgang

The parish church of St. Wolfgang is a neo-baroque church in the Haidhausen district of Munich on St.-Wolfgang-Platz.

history

The church was built between 1915 and 1920 according to plans by the Munich architect Hans Schurr . The consecration in honor of the Regensburg Bishop Wolfgang von Regensburg took place in 1920. The building was nearly destroyed by bombing during the Second World War. Only the tower of the church was preserved.

For two decades, makeshift buildings served the parish as a place of worship. These were only replaced by a new building between 1964 and 1966. The architect Michael Steinbrecher created a brightly lit church interior with the help of large rear glass windows. The windows were created by the Grafingen artist Alfred Schöpffe (1917–1992). The mosaic relief The Second Coming of Christ in the midst of groups of people on the back wall of the sanctuary comes from him .

organ

The St. Wolfgang organ was built in 1907 by the English organ builder Albert Keates (Sheffield) and rebuilt in 2004 by Munich organ builder Johannes Führer . It is the first and only original English instrument with a symphonic character in Bavaria. The slider chest instrument has 28 registers on 3 manuals and a pedal with barker device. The game actions are mechanical, the stop actions pneumatic. The choir organ was laid out in the instrument and was only reconstructed in Bavaria. The organ was blessed on November 20, 2004.
