Organiser

Evang.-Luth. Christuskirche Munich

The Christuskirche, built in 1900, is one of the oldest Protestant churches in Munich. It is the place of worship for the largest Protestant congregation in Upper Bavaria. Its symbol is an angel with a trumpet, which proclaims its Christian message from the church tower in the Neuhausen-Nymphenburg neighbourhood.
The Christuskirche is a diverse and musically active congregation, "at the centre of people's lives".
