St. Maria Thalkirchen, Catholic pilgrimage church in Thalkirchen, Munich, Germany

St. Maria Thalkirchen is a Catholic parish and pilgrimage church in Munich's Thalkirchen district, standing on a small rise above the former floodplain of the Isar at Fraunbergplatz 1. Its core is Gothic: a three-bay choir built before 1400 and a steep-roofed nave from the later 15th century, with a tower retaining late-Romanesque elements such as a round-arch frieze. A Baroque remodelling of 1695–98 gave the interior its flat vault with a central fresco and stucco pilasters and acanthus ornament, while Gabriel von Seidl's 1907–08 neo-Baroque extension adds an irregular hexagon opening onto the nave through three arches, topped by a dome with lantern.

A Romanesque predecessor stood here, with parts of the tower and east nave wall surviving from the first half of the 13th century. The elongated Gothic choir with three bays dates from before 1400, and the nave followed in the second half of the 15th century. A Baroque remodelling under Johann Andrae Wolff from 1695 to 1698 gave the church its present interior and exterior. Gabriel von Seidl added a neo-Baroque hexagonal extension with a dome in 1907/08.

The church serves as a pilgrimage destination where visitors come to pray and participate in religious services. People use this space for personal devotion and to celebrate important religious occasions together throughout the year.

The church stands at Fraunbergplatz 1 in the old village core of Thalkirchen, on a small rise above the former flood bed of the Isar. The neo-baroque extension of 1907/08 is entered through a portal with an oval outdoor staircase; the baroque interior lies in the older eastern parts. The parish office is not at Fraunbergplatz 5.

The late Gothic winged altar made around 1482 for the completion of the nave survives only in figures and reliefs. Its core was three figures: a seated Mary with the Child, a Korbinian and an Ulrich of Augsburg. The signed Marian image comes from the early work of the Ulm sculptor Gregor Erhart, son of Michel Erhart.
