St. Margaret, Parish church in Munich, Germany

St. Margaret is a Catholic parish church in Munich's Sendling district, designed by Michael Dosch and completed in 1913. Its west facade carries a pediment with a circular relief and cross finial, while the rounded section has tall engaged columns, statues along a curved balustrade and a domed roof with a lantern. The 85.5-metre tower stands offset to the north. Inside, a barrel vault 26.6 metres high spans a 21-metre-wide, 75.5-metre-long nave with wooden pews and a tall golden altarpiece.

In 1891 farmers Alois Stemmer, Kaffler and Berger founded a church building association and donated the land, each contributing 100,000 marks. Construction began in 1902 to designs by Michael Dosch; after his death in 1910 Franz Xaver Boemmel took over. The church was completed in 1913, 80 percent over budget, and pastor Alois Gilg (1857–1943) saw the project through.

The church is dedicated to Saint Margaret, whose wooden figure from around 1500 stands inside alongside a Saint George. The five bells in the tower have their own roles: the Margaret bell rings the Angelus, the smallest joins for the evening prayer for the souls, and on Saturdays at 3 pm the Sunday is rung in bell by bell before the full peal builds under the largest.

The site is accessible by U-Bahn to Sendlinger Tor station, followed by a short walk through neighborhood streets. Visitors should note that the church may be less accessible during services and more open at other times.

The tower top of St. Margaret lies higher above sea level than the spires of the Frauenkirche, though Munich's highest church tower is Heilig-Kreuz in Giesing. Interior scenes of the BR series Himmel, Herrgott, Sakrament were filmed inside the church.
