The Catholic Church of St. Kajetan and Adelheid in Munich , called Theatinerkirche , was court and monastery church of the Theatine order until 1801 , from 1839 court and collegiate monastery and has been cared for by the Dominican order since 1954 . It is the first church in old Bavaria to be built in the style of Italian high baroque . The church building at Theatinerstraße 22 is located in the northeast of the Kreuzviertel at the Feldherrnhalle and is now part of the Odeonsplatz ensemble . The mother church of the Theatine order Sant'Andrea della Valle in Rome was an important model. The church then became a model for other church buildings and stands at the beginning of the Italian-inspired high baroque in Bavaria.
History and architecture
founding

In 1659 Henriette Adelheid von Savoyen , wife of Elector Ferdinand Maria , made the vow to have the "most beautiful and most valuable church" built in gratitude for the birth of a hereditary prince . This was to become the court church and collegiate church for the Theatines .
After the electoral prince and later elector Max II. Emanuel was born on July 11, 1662, Agostino Barelli from Bologna received the design contract. The north-east corner of the Kreuzviertel right next to the city wall and Schwabinger Tor , which is opposite the residence, was chosen as the building site for the church and monastery . The foundation stone was laid on April 29, 1663.
Building history
Barelli took the mother church of the Theatines, Sant'Andrea della Valle , in Rome as a model . In terms of room type, the church was designed as a domed basilica over a Latin cross. A nave rises above this floor plan in five bays, barrel-vaulted, with domed side chapels, the short transepts are flat, the choir, on the other hand, in a semicircle; the high drum dome arches over the crossing.
During the structural work there were violent arguments between Barelli and his site manager Antonio Spinelli , himself Theatin and confessor of Henriettes, which led to Barelli's temporary dismissal. Finally Agostino Barelli completed the shell and then left Munich.
Then Enrico Zuccalli took over the artistic direction. The focus of his activity was the exterior design. Zuccalli determined the shape of the 71 m high drum dome and later also the two very idiosyncratic 65 m high towers. The snails under the spiers are inspired by the dome of Santa Maria della Salute in Venice. The main nave has a length of 72.50 m, a width of 15.50 m and a height of 28.55 m, the dome with a diameter of almost 18 m was made slightly smaller than originally planned. The lantern on the dome carries a lion as a weather vane .
At the same time, Zuccalli also played a decisive role in the decorative design of the church interior. Also in 1674 the Comer Giovanni Nicolò Perti and Giovanni Viscardi as well as Abraham Leuthner began with the stucco work.
The church was consecrated on July 11, 1675 - at that time it was largely still in the shell state. Long discussions about the final facade design delayed the completion; a final result was not found. Zuccalli first built the towers between 1684 and 1692 according to his plans, and in 1688 the interior was completed. From 1692 until completion, Giovanni Viscardi took over construction management. Henriette of Savoy made the church the seat of her congregation of the noble servants of Mary . She died in 1676 and did not see the completion of the Theatine Church.
facade
For a long time the outer facade of the Theatine Church remained unfinished, despite various discussions, no agreement was reached. It was not until around 100 years after the consecration that François de Cuvilliés the Elder designed a facade in the Rococo style with only slight changes, which his son François de Cuvilliés the Younger completed. The width of the facade is emphasized by the base, beams, attic and triangular gable, while the pilasters and columns in a Doric (below) and Ionic (above) order allow the facade to rise upwards. The wide cornice between the two floors also integrates the towers. The sculptors Roman Anton Boos and Ignaz Günther created the figures and the decor. In the gable of the facade is the alliance coat of arms of the then reigning Elector Max III. Joseph and his wife Maria Anna of Saxony-Poland.
Monastery building
The building of the monastery bore the signature of Zuccalli, under whose direction the master builder Lorenzo Perti executed the buildings. Church and monastery formed a huge square between the city wall, Schwabinger Gasse (today's Theatinerstraße), Kuhgasse (today's Salvatorstraße) and Salvatorplatz .
The Theatiners gained a good reputation as pastors and scholars until the end of the 18th century when an increasing decline in discipline and finance became noticeable. Elector Max IV Joseph , who later became King Max I Joseph, abolished the monastery on October 26, 1801, even before secularization . The Theatinerkirche remained the collegiate church and court church , while the electoral departments (ministries) for finance, justice and spiritual affairs were relocated to the convent building after the department of foreign affairs had moved into the still existing Theatine monastery in 1799 . The Theatine monastery remained the site of the electoral government until the middle of the 19th century. The Palais Minucci was built on the southwest wing as early as 1731 .
Destruction and rebuilding
During the Second World War , especially in 1944/45, the church was partly badly destroyed and the monastery very badly destroyed, except for the west wing. The Altarpiece The foundation of the Theatine Church by the Elector couple ( Antonio Zanchi , 1675) was also destroyed. Reconstruction began as early as 1946 and was largely completed in 1955. Dominicans have looked after the collegiate church since 1954 and have had a small branch at St. Kajetan ever since. The rebuilding of the former monastery site was completed in 1973. The resulting building complex houses the Bavarian State Ministry for Education and Culture, Science and Art . A general renovation of the church has been carried out since 2001, which was completed in 2019.

Interior
History of the high altars
From the inauguration of the church in 1675 to the destruction of the choir during the Second World War, four high altars alternated: For the inauguration on July 11, 1675, a design by the then site manager and Theatiner , Antonio Spinelli , was carried out. This first altar, commissioned by the Electress Henriette Adelheid at Spinelli on January 15, 1670, consisted of two larger than life kneeling angels, which supported a large spherical tabernacle. It is possible that this was only a provisional model, the final version of which was never implemented (compare ball tabernacle San Giorgio Maggiore Venice). In his Kurbayerisches Atlas published in 1687, the Munich lawyer Anton Wilhelm Ertl describes the altar from 1675 in the ensemble with the four Ableithners evangelists as follows: "Next to the choir = altar there are two large cherubs / and then the four holy evangelists above the size of a man."
In the 1720s, this first high altar was replaced by the second, mostly dated 1722. This had the well-known round temple-like tabernacle , which at that time still formed a unit with the cafeteria. In 1854 this " Tempietto Altar" was replaced by the presumed reconstruction of the original "High Altar from 1675". Instead of kneeling angels and a round tabernacle , however, this third high altar was characterized by a cabinet-like three-part altar retable . From 1928 to 1930 this third solution was replaced by a replica of the “Tempietto Altar” from 1722. It was also he who was destroyed on January 7, 1945.
The version, usually referred to as the "Altar from 1722", which adorned the church interior the longest (1720s to 1854; 1930s to 1945), like Spinelli's kneeling angels with spherical tabernacles in front of it, was an excellent addition to the overall work of art of the Theatine Church. The “Art Monuments of the Kingdom of Bavaria” state that the “huge high altar” would have “had a great decorative effect”. It was divided into a front and a back part. Altar structure and cafeteria with tabernacle (from the beginning of the 19th century) were separated. In between was the music and psalm choir. In the original arrangement there were portal buildings on the sides of the cafeteria, framed by larger-than-life statues of the four evangelists (by Balthasar Ableithner ): “These figures, as well as the neatly crafted angel figures, which on both sides carry the oratorios of the choir, also by Ableithner's hand , harmonize with the overall decorative effect of the presbytery ”(Kunstdenkmäler, p. 960).
During the Second World War, an air raid destroyed the choir room - choir screen, altar and tabernacle - as well as the figure of St. Matthew. During St. Luke was badly damaged, the figures of St. Evangelists Mark and John received. Johannes and Markus were placed on the upper floors of the two transept altars. The new choir room design created after the war consisted of a simple, stone altar with cafeteria and tabernacle, which was placed on several steps. Behind the altar, the chancel was separated by a curtain attached to a wrought iron grille. In the wake of the liturgical reform of the Second Vatican Council , an additional wooden altar was erected. This altar, which is still in the church today, fits harmoniously into the interior of the church. The project “Redesign of the sanctuary” has so far not led to any result - the designs by Friedrich Koller and Stephan Huber have not been implemented.
In 2004 the evangelists Markus and Johannes returned from the upper floors of the transept altars to the chancel with the support of the State Building Authority Munich I. Thanks to the financial support of the German Foundation for Monument Protection, the completion of the statue of Luke, which had only been preserved in fragments until then, was carried out by Professor Jörg Maxzin, who taught in Deggendorf. Only black and white photos of the statue of St. Matthew, destroyed in World War II, have survived - an artistically sophisticated copy of the lost original was hardly possible. Thus the Roman sculptor Giuseppe Ducrot was commissioned by the Catholic Church Foundation St. Kajetan with a new creation. He first created a model, which the South Tyrolean sculptor Gregor Prugger converted into limewood under his aegis. The new figure now closes the gap on the high altar, adapting to the baroque figures in size and expression, but being consciously recognizable as a new creation. The Bauer'sche Barockstiftung took over the entire cost of the statue of St. Matthew. Thus, the current state approaches the original from 1722 again. As early as 2004, the two archways were also provisionally rebuilt (made of wood and plastic). In the spring of 2016, the gray curtain separating the chancel was replaced by a new temporary solution in wood and textile. The aim is to restore the choir screen that was destroyed in 1944 .
painting

The largest works can be found on the three main altars, i.e. in the apse and in the two transverse arms. The high altar was once adorned with a painting (1675) by Antonio Zanchi , which showed the saints St. Kajetan and Adelheid, as well as the donor family, as well as two pages holding a model of the Theatine Church in their hands. This picture was destroyed in the penultimate year of the war, 1944. The altar now contains a painting by Gaspar de Crayer depicting a Madonna enthroned. Since it is a little smaller than the frame field of the retable , it was surrounded with a drapery that fills the space in between.
In the left side altar, i.e. in the transept of the church, there is an altarpiece by the hand of the renowned painter Joachim von Sandrart , which shows “Kajetan's wonderful intervention in the plague of Naples”. The oversized work (8.50 × 4.40 m) in dark colors was commissioned by the Bavarian electors in 1667 and had existed since its completion in 1671, until it was outstanding when the church was inaugurated in 1675 Found place. In the right transept altar is a splendid picture by Carlo Cignani , which he sent to Munich in 1676, depicting the " Holy Kinship " - a work of splendidly vital, Northern Italian baroque painting, which in its mood represents exactly the opposite of the sad opposite of the plague picture.

Piece
The interior of the Theatine Church is richly decorated with stucco. In the Baroque and Rococo styles, Corinthian column elements with acanthus leaves as well as ornaments and religious figurations are incorporated.
Organs
There are three organs in the Theatinerkirche: the main organ from 1960 behind the high altar in the choir, the side organ from 1950 in a box on the right across from the pulpit, and a chest organ from 2018.
Main organ
The main organ was built in 1960 by Ludwig Eisenbarth ( Passau ) and inaugurated in 1961. The instrument has 49 registers with an electro-pneumatic action. It can be played from a mobile five-manual console located in the choir room. The side organ with 17 stops is assigned to the 4th and 5th manual. The two-part organ system has a total of 66 stops. Between 2003 and 2009 both organs were relocated as part of the interior renovation of the church and renovated and rebuilt in 2009 by Dieter Schingnitz ( Iffeldorf ). In addition, the general gaming table received an external notebook-based setting system. A new construction of the main organ is planned in the long term. The current disposition:
