Kreuzkirche in Schwabing

The Kreuzkirche is a Protestant church in Schwabing-West with a central altar area and interior spaces that open toward the neighborhood. The building combines modern design with materials that establish connections between the interior and the surroundings.

The building was destroyed in 1944 during World War II and later served as a temporary military barracks. Architect Otto Bartning designed a new structure in 1950 that allowed the church to rebuild its role in the neighborhood.

The church functions as a gathering place where locals of different backgrounds and ages come together regularly. Visitors can observe services, children's programs, and community support activities that weave the place into daily neighborhood life.

A visit works best when you check the schedules for regular services and events, as the church serves as a center for various activities. The location in the neighborhood allows easy access on foot or by local transport.

An expansion in 2019 added student housing and a children's center on Friedrich-Loy-Strasse, showing how the church responds to local needs. These spaces blend faith with practical support for different age groups in the neighborhood.
