The Catholic Parish and University Church St. Louis also referred to as Ludwigskirche is located along Ludwigstrasse in Munich. This is a a large Neo-Romanesque style church built by German architect Friedrich von Gärtner between 1829-44.

The church features an attractive facade with two towers and a nice portico with ceiling frescos. The interior features a deep barrel vault nave and impressive frescos. The nave is nicely lined with modestly decorated columns. The two side aisles are nice to see as well.

The most memorable part of our visit was the very large Peter von Cornelius 'Last Judgment' fresco behind the altar. This is a huge and attractive artwork, one that really sticks out from a visit to Ludwigskirche. In fact, viewing the Cornelius fresco alone is worth the quick visit to the church.

In the end, we liked our visit to Ludwigkirche, it is worth a 15-20 minute visit and can be conveniently included in your sightseeing plans if you plan to visit the Odenplatz, Museum District or western side of the English Gardens during your...

Ostersonntag, Auferstehungsfeier, 5.00 Uhr:

Musik, ausgewählte Beispiele: zur Gabenbereitung moderne klassische Musik (von da ist es zur 12-Ton-Musik nur noch ein Katzensprung; ist den Verantwortlichen eigentlich bewusst, wie wenige Menschen moderne klassische Musik mögen?) eine amelodische Choreinlage nach der Kommunion zum Gloria kein jubelndes "Großer Gott, wir loben dich", sondern irgendwas unbekanntes "Verhaltenes" kein stimmungsvolles Schlusslied für die Gemeinde dass bei den meist abseitigen Lieder kaum wer mitsingen kann, anscheinend auch egal!

Predigt: epische Länge (gerne bei einem guten Gedankengang, aber das war er leider nicht) Hauptpunkt: die Welt ist schlimm, das Böse nimmt überhand (beides ja zutreffend), in üppigster Überlänge illustriert mit politischen Ansichten des Pfarrers, die den Rand der politischen Debatte markieren, kann man ja alles sagen. Aber in der Überlänge und größter Weitschweifigkeit? Am Schluss durfte Ostern ein bisschen aufblitzen... seine Bemerkung, die Predigt werde einigen nicht gefallen haben. Immerhin, die Selbsteinschätzung passt!

Gottesdienstbesuch: in den letzten Jahren drastisch (!) weniger in der Osternacht hintere Hälfte fast völlig leer vorne große Lücken (immerhin fast keine Gefahr mehr, dass sich der Vordermann an der Kerze des Hintermanns verbrennt...) Gegensteuern wollen oder können die Verantwortlichen nicht...

Es gab nur sehr wenige Momente, in diesem Gottesdienst, an denen österliche Stimmung aufkam (Osterfeuer z.B.).

Nächstes Jahr bin ich auch nicht mehr da und geh woanders hin. Wieder ein Platz leer.

Sie müssten erlöster wirken...

Having visited many churches across Europe, St. Ludwig’s is one of the most impressive. The painted altar fresco is absolutely breathtaking—easily the most stunning I’ve ever encountered. The church offers a beautiful and tranquil atmosphere, making it the perfect place to step away from the hustle and bustle of the city and reflect on life.

For a donation of €1, you can light a candle, adding a personal and meaningful touch to your visit. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a moment of peace and appreciation for art and...

Ludwigskirche, in English Saint Ludwig, is a 19th century neo-romanesque church that is not very popular with tourists because it is somewhat remote from the touristic center of Munich. Don't let that dissuade you from taking the subway a couple of stations from Marienplatz to Universität to see it. You will see the second largest above altar mural painting in the world. Another major attraction is a fantastic church organ with an incredible sound. I was lucky that someone was playing it during my visit.

St. Ludwig in Munich, also known as Ludwigskirche, is a prominent Catholic parish church located in the heart of the city. Its striking neo-Romanesque architecture, designed by Friedrich von Gärtner, features a grand facade and two imposing towers. Inside, the church boasts beautiful frescoes by Peter von Cornelius, including the monumental "Last Judgment" behind the altar.
