St. Martin, Moosach

St. Martin in Moosach, part of Munich, Bavaria, Germany, is the name of a Catholic parish which has two churches, the old Alte Pfarrkirche St. Martin and the new Neue Pfarrkirche St. Martin. The new church was dedicated in 1924.

Neue Pfarrkirche St. Martin

History

When the old parish church, dedicated to Martin of Tours, became too small for a growing parish, the new church was built from 1921 to 1924, designed by the Munich architect Hermann Leitenstorfer. He included neo-Romanesque elements in his design in the style of New Objectivity. A relief of St. Martin dividing his coat was created by Karl Knappe.

The church had an organ built in 1975 by Guido Nenninger.[1] It was transferred tp Poland in 2015,[2][3] when a new instrument was built by Orgelbau Goll with 40 stops on three manuals and pedal.
