Evang.-Luth. Kirchengemeinde St. Matthäus

St. Matthäus is the main Protestant-Lutheran and Episcopal church in Munich. The predecessor of the current church was built in 1833 on Sonnenstraße near Karlsplatz and fell victim to National Socialist urban planning in 1938. From 1953 to 1955, Gustav Gsaenger built today's church, which is one of the most important monuments of post-war modernism in Germany.
