Heilige Familie

Heilige Familie, Catholic parish church in Untergiesing-Harlaching, Germany

Heilige Familie is a Catholic parish church on the Hoher Weg slope in Munich-Harlaching, designed by Richard Steidle in a Romanesque-revival style as a "Gottesburg". Its white facade has a tall flat-fronted tower with a square clock face, a red inner circle and gold hands and numerals, and a cross near the peak. The lower body has a dark sloped roof and three tall narrow arched windows.

Designed by Richard Steidle, the church was consecrated in 1931 by Cardinal Michael von Faulhaber. On 22 November 1944 a firebomb struck the building. After rebuilding, Auxiliary Bishop Johannes Neuhäusler reopened it in 1949.

The parish includes the St.-Anna-Kircherl on Harlachinger Berg as a filial church, and two daughter parishes were carved from it: Maria Immaculata in 1953 and St. Helena in 1963. The church holds modern artworks, among them the Stations of the Cross mosaics by Otto Habel and bronze reliefs by Franz Berberich at the portals and in the interior.

The church stands on the slope edge at Hoher Weg in Harlaching, its tower facing the street. The main portals carry bronze reliefs, so allow time to look at them before entering. The parish also includes the St.-Anna-Kircherl on Harlachinger Berg, a short walk uphill.

A firebomb struck the church on 22 November 1944; after rebuilding, Auxiliary Bishop Johannes Neuhäusler reopened it in 1949. Its five cast-steel bells were made by the Bochumer Verein in 1931 and consecrated by Auxiliary Bishop Johannes Schauer on 28 June of that year.
