Auferstehungskirche, Lutheran church in Munich, Germany

Auferstehungskirche is a red brick Protestant church on Schwanthalerhöhe, built by German Bestelmeyer and consecrated in 1931 with seating for 800. A tall square tower with a shallow pyramidal roof carries a round clock with gold Roman numerals above two louvered windows. The broad lower facade has a row of round-arched windows with recessed brick surrounds, and the choir holds a Last Supper fresco by Fritz Erler.

After World War I, Protestant residents moved into the Schwanthalerhöhe in large numbers, so a new church with 800 seats was needed. German Bestelmeyer designed it and it was consecrated in 1931. In the 1980s the Greek Orthodox community of Munich held its services here, and around 2000 a Pentecostal congregation from Togo was a guest. For the 25th Protestant Church Congress in 1993 the church hosted events on sects and worldviews.

The church is home to the Protestant-Lutheran congregation of Munich's Westend. In the 1980s the Greek Orthodox community of Munich held its services here, and around 2000 a Pentecostal congregation from Togo was a guest. For the 25th Protestant Church Congress in 1993, the church hosted events on sects and worldview questions.

The church stands on Schwanthalerhöhe in Munich's Westend. The great bell rings every Friday at 3 p.m. in memory of the hour of Christ's death, and the full peal sounds on Saturday at 3 p.m. to ring in Sunday and before the Sunday service. Visitors can time a visit to hear the five bells, tuned des1 to b1.

The tower holds five bells tuned des1–es1–f1–as1–b1. Only the f1 bell survives from the 1931 Schilling set cast in Apolda; the es1 was added in 2021 by Bachert, completing the ring after decades. Every Friday at 3 p.m. the largest bell rings for the hour of Christ's death.
