Winthirkirche, Gothic church in Neuhausen, Munich, Germany
Winthirkirche stands at Winthirstraße 15 within the Winthirfriedhof cemetery in Munich's Neuhausen district. Its late-15th-century Gothic choir survives, while the nave was rebuilt after a 1794 fire and again after the tower collapsed in 1931. The baroque high altar holds a painting dated 1760, brought from Bernhaupten.
The church underwent major reconstruction after its tower collapsed in 1931, resulting in a smaller structure than before. Despite this change, the building retained its importance as a place of worship and architectural landmark.
The cemetery surrounding Winthirkirche contains graves of individuals who made substantial contributions to the development of Munich as a capital city.
The church is located on Winthirstraße 15 and can be reached by several public transport options in the Neuhausen district. Regular services take place, making it an active gathering space for the local community.
The over-life-size sculpture of the blessed Winthir on the street-facing west side was made by Karl Baur. The church only received its official name, Winthirkirche, in 1970; before that it was long known in popular speech as the "Winthirkircherl".
