Bürgersaalkirche (Bürgersaal Church)


A saintly address

 
The pint-sized Bürgersaalkirche is pretty well dedicated to the memory of Rupert Mayer, who you’ll see from the posters looks like a sterner version of actor Robin Williams.

HOLY HEART: Jesuit priest Rupert Mayer.

Mayer was a Jesuit priest and anti-Nazi who kept getting thrown in concentration camps during the 1930s. For most of the war he hid out at Ettal Monastery in southern Bavaria and died in 1945. Mayer was beautified in 1987.

What’s inside

The shopfront-like church consists of two parts. You enter into a low vaulted cellar lined with statues of the crucifixion and a small chapel. The more impressive “Upper Church” is upstairs. It’s done with plenty of gold leaf and is only open 11am to 1pm.

DIMINUTIVE: The Bürgersaalkirche blends into Neuhauserstrasse.

Hi there!

My name’s Stuart and I write and run this site.
I could harp on about how much time and work it’s taken to get it this far...but you don’t want to hear that.

It’s been a labour of love and anyway, I think information should be free. But if Destination Munich has helped you out maybe you'd like to show your appreciation.

You can do so by buying me a coffee or a big mug of Oktoberfest beer – hmm, that ought to keep the creative juices flowing!

You can buy me a drink using Visa, MasterCard or PayPal. Payments are made through PayPal’s servers and are totally secure.

Cheers,

Stuart
