Himmelfahrtskirche

Himmelfahrtskirche, Lutheran church in Sendling, Germany.

Himmelfahrtskirche is a Lutheran church at Kidlerstraße 15 in Munich's Sendling district. Its tall gabled facade of tan and reddish brick has a round rose window with stone tracery, a small square bell tower with a dark pyramid roof, and a projecting entrance porch with three round-arched openings. Green climbing vines cover much of the brickwork.

The church originated from 1917 in the conversion of the Elysium, a Wilhelmine-era entertainment hall that had served as a beer hall, theatre, opera and variety venue. The parish bought it and, under pastor Hans Meiser and architect Georg Zeitler, opened a rear hall as an emergency church after about a year. A bell tower was added in 1919–1920 and the new nave was consecrated in November 1920. Bombing damaged it in 1942 and 1943 and destroyed it in 1944; it was rebuilt from 1950 to 1953 using rubble bricks, with a new bell tower facing the street.

The church serves as a gathering place where the local community meets regularly for services, concerts, and art exhibitions. These events show how the building shapes the rhythm of daily life in the neighborhood.

The church is easily accessible by public transportation, with several stops nearby. Services are held regularly throughout the week for those wishing to attend.

The church owes its existence to a former entertainment venue called Elysium, which had served as a beer hall, theatre, opera and variety stage before the congregation bought it in 1917. The organ, built in 1994 by Hermann Eule of Bautzen, has 35 stops and 2377 pipes, and since 2021 a celesta on two manuals and pedal.
