St. Ludwig (Ludwigskirche)

Ludwigstraße 20, Maxvorstadt, Munich, Germany
Tel: +49 89 288334
 

St Ludwig's Church was built in the New Roman Byzantine style and boasts of monumental wall paintings. Located opposite the Theatinerkirche St. Kajetan, St Ludwig's towers high over Schellingstrasse. The interior, with frescos by Peter von Cornelius, exudes a peaceful, romantic atmosphere. The fresco 'Das jungste Gericht', a copy of Michelangelo's 'Jungstes Gericht' in Rome, is one of the largest frescos ever painted. St.Ludwig's was built in 1829-44 by Friedrich Gartner and acted as both the university and parish church. It was built at the request of King Ludwig I, who wished a church to be built on the newly constructed Ludwigstrasse. The church was heavily damaged during the War, and repair work took until 1958 to complete. Nowadays, St Ludwig's basks in all its splendour.
