St. Jakobus, Catholic church in Neuperlach, Munich, Germany

St. Jakobus is a Catholic church at Quiddestraße 35a in Neuperlach, Munich, built from 2016 to 2019 to a design by architect Andreas Hlawaczek. The exterior is mainly exposed concrete, with a tall flat-faced volume on the right and a lower entrance section sheltered by horizontal brown wooden slats. Inside, the floor is laid with slate tiles and has underfloor heating; the altar is a nearly two-and-a-half-ton boulder from the Alps shaped by the artist duo Lutzenberger.

The predecessor church was consecrated in 1974 and demolished because of structural and fire-safety defects. Construction of the replacement ran from 2016 to 2019, when the new church opened; a kindergarten was built alongside it. The architect was Andreas Hlawaczek. The sculpture "Kreuzgerüst" by Karl Jakob Schwalbach, which served as the old church's tower, still stands on Quiddestraße about 50 m from the new building.

The altar is a boulder of just under two and a half tonnes, brought from the Alps and worked by the artist duo Lutzenberger. The church is dedicated to St. James, and steles on the forecourt mark the Jakobsweg, the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela. The organ is a chest organ built by Münchner Orgelbau Johannes Führer.

The church stands at Quiddestraße 35a in Neuperlach, with the entrance under the wooden slat canopy on the left of the concrete facade. The forecourt steles marking the Jakobsweg are outside and always visible. The sculpture "Kreuzgerüst" by Karl Jakob Schwalbach remains about 50 metres away on Quiddestraße at the site of the demolished predecessor church.

The steles on the forecourt mark the Jakobsweg, the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela. The old church's sculpture "Kreuzgerüst" by Karl Jakob Schwalbach (1998) served as its church tower and still stands on Quiddestraße, now about 50 metres from the new building.
