Himmelfahrtskirche, Lutheran church in Pasing district, Munich, Germany.
The Himmelfahrtskirche is a neo-baroque Lutheran church built in 1903/04 to plans by Munich architect Carl Hocheder, on Marschnerstraße 2 northwest of Pasing station. It has a barrel-vaulted hall with side galleries and a hipped roof, a tower with a bell-shaped cupola, and a stucco facade with an aedicula front and gabled portal.
The church was built in 1903/04 to plans by Munich architect Carl Hocheder in the neo-baroque style. It formed the urban prelude to the new residential quarter Villenkolonie Neu-Pasing II, which is now protected as an ensemble. The church, its furnishings and the neighbouring parsonage are listed monuments (file number D-1-62-000-4312).
The church serves the Lutheran community of Pasing with regular services, concerts, and religious ceremonies throughout the year.
The church stands at Marschnerstraße 2, a few hundred metres northwest of Pasing station, at the start of the Villenkolonie Neu-Pasing II quarter. The neighbouring parsonage and other buildings on Marschnerstraße are also listed monuments, so the street itself is worth a walk. The main organ sits on the eastern gallery above the entrance, the smaller choir organ on the left side of the chancel arch.
The altarpiece, a 17th-century oil painting on permanent loan from the Bayerische Staatsgemäldesammlungen, shows the Resurrection of Christ rather than the Ascension the church is named for. Flanking it in wall niches are life-size stone figures of the apostles Peter (right) and Paul (left).
