Herz-Jesu-Kirche (Sacred Heart Church) is a Catholic Church in the Neuhausen-Nymphenburg borough of Munich, Bavaria, Germany. It is part of the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising. The church was consecrated by archbishop Friedrich Wetter on 26 November 2000.[1]
History
[edit]The first church Herz-Jesu-Kirche in Neuhausen was consecrated in 1890. It was designed by architect Johann Marggraff, who used the wooden structure of a former festival hall in the construction of the church building. The church was dedicated to the Assumption of Mary until 1936, when archbishop Michael von Faulhaber dedicated it to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.[2] On 12 July 1944, the church was greatly damaged in an Allied bombing raid, and it was subsequently redesigned and reconstructed by architect Friedrich Haindl from 1948 to 1951.[3]
On 25 and 26 November 1994, the church was completely destroyed by a fire.[4] Reconstruction of the church started in 1997 and ended in 2000.[5]
