location

The church is located between Schrobenhausener Strasse and Siglstrasse in the Laim district of Munich . In the south, the church property is bordered by the Pfarrer-Endres-Weg.

history

An emergency church had stood on the site of today's parish church since 1928 . After a competition for a new building in 1936, the emergency church was supposed to be replaced by a permanent sacred building, but this was prevented by the building authorities during the Nazi era. In 1945 Laim was elevated to the status of a parish and there was another competition in 1951, which the Munich architect Sep Ruf was able to win with his design for a permanent emergency church. On November 9, 1953, after a two-year construction phase, the church was consecrated by Cardinal Joseph Wendel . In 1987, in concelebration with Elmar Gruber , Rainer Maria Schießler celebrated his first ceremony in the church.

architecture

From the outside, the church appears as a simple, white plastered brick building in a simple and economical cubic form. The interior corresponds to a hall church with a semicircular apse and a ribbon of windows on the entrance side. To the north of the church building there is a bell tower. To the south is a one-story rectory with a kindergarten, which is arranged around a rectangular courtyard.

In the apse there is a large-format relief by Karl Knappe .

The Church of the Twelve Apostles is the first church designed by Sep Ruf. To the south of this is the elementary school on Schrobenhausener Strasse, also a building by Sep Ruf.

The building is a listed building .
