history

For the first time, a Protestant service in Planegg took place at Christmas 1919 in the school building. Shortly afterwards the Evangelical Association Planegg-Krailling was founded, which dealt with the implementation of regular church services in the two parishes and the planning of its own church building. After the formation of a parish with 800 members in 1921, the position of a vicar was established in 1923.

Construction and inauguration

The former court lords of Planegg, the barons of Hirsch , provided a building site. However, it had to be exchanged several times in order to achieve the correct plot size.

The Munich architect and urban planner Theodor Fischer was won over for the planning . The forest church is considered to be his most important late work. Fischer was guided by the Bible verse Christ is the head of the body and the congregation and placed the altar in the middle of the octagonal main building. On one side is a flatter building with a community room, followed by the sacristy. The church tower rises from the sacristy and is therefore a bit apart from the main building. The first groundbreaking took place at the beginning of October 1925, on December 26, 1926 the forest church was consecrated by Oberkirchenrat Baum , the district dean.

Furnishing

Modern church building with tent roof. The divine room is laid out as an amphitheatrically recessed octagonal central building.

Similar to an amphitheater , the rows of seats rise gradually upwards. The church interior can be entered from three sides, from there six steps lead to the lower altar.

Eight larch pillars support a wooden gallery that runs around the chancel. The parapet in front of it is painted with biblical landscape motifs. On the pulpit side, the four evangelists frame Jesus crucified. They were created by the painter and writer Ernst Penzoldt .

organ

The organ on the gallery on the east side (pulpit side) was built in 1928 by the Steinmeyer organ building company. The instrument was renovated and expanded in 2017. It has 23 stops on two manual works and a pedal. The playing and stop actions are electric.
