deals

With the Munich church newspaper and its radio, television and online editorial team, the media association reaches up to two million people every week. As the oldest Bavarian library association, it accompanies around 1100 church and communal libraries in their educational work.

Public libraries

The state department for church library work in the Sankt Michaelsbund advises and supports the approximately 1100 member libraries of the state association throughout Bavaria, u. a. through information for library practice and book and media recommendations for building up the inventory. Outside the seven Bavarian dioceses, these tasks are carried out by the Borromäusverein , with which there is a collaboration in the library sector. The Munich library is responsible for mediating the media .

Editorial offices

The editors of the association develop content and produce programs for the areas of print, electronic and digital media. Around 25 editors from the four editorial teams of television / film, radio, online and print (with the Münchner Kirchenzeitung) and a network of freelancers pick up on current trends and topics from church and society and publish them for around two million listeners, viewers, Internet users and readers in Bavaria.

Munich church newspaper

The Münchner Kirchenzeitung is the diocese newspaper of the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising and has been part of the duties of the Sankt Michaelsbund since 1910. The newspaper developed from the task of the press association to promote and distribute newspapers and magazines based on a Catholic attitude.

radio

The Sankt Michaelsbund was already active in the supply chain when private radio and television stations were introduced in Bavaria at the end of the 1980s . The radio editors supply Bavarian private radio stations such as B. Antenne Bayern with news and contributions from church and society.

With the church radio, the association operates its own station, which has been received on the Internet since November 2008 and in a new format in the greater Munich area via DAB + since March 6, 2014 . In 2016, the station was able to expand its broadcasting time in Munich and received additional DAB broadcasting slots in Ingolstadt and Nuremberg. Due to the takeover of programs by Radio Munich , individual contributions to the program can also be heard at times on FM in Munich.

With its program, the Munich church radio wants to provide current information and background information on church events, topics and developments in the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising. It is an addition to the public and private broadcasters. The program Bürger on air: Meine Heimat - Mein Radio is sponsored by the state media authority BLM .

watch TV

The television editorial team produces church contributions, reports and religious magazines in cooperation with RTL Bayern , SAT1 Bayern and München TV . The editorial team also produces image films, documentaries and television spots.

Munich Church News

The Münchner Kirchennachrichten (MKN) bundle all editorial services of the association on the website under the name "mk-online". The MKN should promote dialogue in the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising, contribute to identity and enable participation in church life.

history

In the 19th century, two Catholic press organizations emerged in German-speaking countries: in Austria this was the Leo Society and on the Rhine the Borromeo Society . None of them could gain a foothold in Bavaria, and so on July 15, 1901 , the Eichstätt Vicar General Georg Triller founded the "Catholic Press Association for Bavaria eV" The aim was to promote the Catholic press and literature in all its manifestations based on a Catholic attitude. In the following years around 20 daily newspapers were bought up and parish and public libraries were set up in the communities. A year after the National Socialists came to power, the press association was forced to sell all newspapers except the church newspaper and to change its name. The choice fell on the name Sankt Michaelsbund for the care of the Catholic literature in Bavaria eV
