Heilige Familie

Heilige Familie is a Catholic parish church in Untergiesing-Harlaching built with romanesque design elements and minimal decoration. The interior features a distinctive Christ figure mounted on the choir wall that draws the eye when you enter.

The church was built as a new parish church after World War I to serve the growing community in the area. It was heavily damaged during the bombing of Munich and remained under reconstruction until the late 1940s.

The parish serves as a gathering place for people of different ages who regularly come together for community activities. The congregation shapes the church's life through shared celebrations and events that become part of the neighborhood's rhythm.

The church is generally open to visitors during normal hours and can be explored easily from the entrance. It helps to check on current schedules ahead of time to find the best moments for a quiet visit.

The church suffered severe bomb damage during World War II and stands as a testament to what the neighborhood endured and rebuilt. Local residents contributed both materials and labor to restore it, making reconstruction a community effort.
