Organiser

Paul-Gerhardt-Kirche Munich

With the Paul Gerhardt Church, the parish has an outstanding sacred building from the 1950s in the west of Munich. For the first time in a Protestant church building, visible brickwork was used not only on the outside but also on the inside as an element of interior design, modelled on Swedish architecture. As part of a comprehensive organ renovation, a new console with new technology was installed in 2024. The church is part of the spacious community centre.
