St. Mauritius

St. Mauritius is a parish church in northern Munich, a rectangular stone structure with a striking tower and pointed spire that rises above the Moosach neighborhood. The building displays Romanesque characteristics and bears elements from different construction periods.

The church dates back to 800 AD and predates Munich itself. The Romanesque stone structure as seen today was built between the 12th and 13th centuries.

The church is named after Saint Maurice and has shaped the spiritual life of the Moosach community for centuries. Visitors notice how the place draws people of different generations to services and celebrations.

The church is located on Leipziger Straße 11 in the Moosach district, accessible by public transportation and local bus lines. The building is currently partially limited in access due to roof renovation work.

Architecture students are currently developing proposals to transform the parish center into residential spaces while maintaining its historical character. This redesign shows how older buildings can take on new functions in modern Munich.
