The catholic monastic church pc. Anna in the Lehel is coining/shaping the first Rococo church Altbayerns and for the development of the Sakralarchitektur in Bavaria.

Situation

The monastic church pc. Anna in the Lehel (pc. - Anna place 21) is in the center of the Lehel opposite the Kath. parish church pc. Anna in the Lehel.

History

1725 created the Hieronymiten in the little attractive Auwald on the left of the Isar, which late Lehel was called, a monastery and took over the Pfarrseelsorge for the 2000 souls, which had established themselves there. Maria Amalie put the foundation-stone for the monastic church, which established its architect Johann Michael Fischer until 1733 to 1727. The interior equipment, in which Cosmas Damian Asam, Egid Quirin Asam and Johann Baptist Straub were involved, still dragged on until 1737.

During the secularization 1807 the Hieronymitenkloster were waived and completely vacated, the convention building became 1808 barracks. The monastic church was raised to the parish church. 1827 took over the Franziskaner the monastery, which they hold until today.

With the projection of the "“pc. - Anna suburb"”, which became today's Lehel, also the land development of the monastery environment projected. In order to arrange the church more strongly in the largecivil land development to show and an optical connection with the Ludwig route manufacture the with the old part of town, 1852/53 by August Voigt of the church a neoromanische double tower front one before-dazzled, which oriented itself with its arcade portal and the pyramid-shaped conclusion of the towers enormously at the university University of pc. Ludwig.

By a Fliegerangriff on 29 April 1944 the monastic church pc. Anna in the Lehel was destroyed completely up to the outside walls. 1946 began already that the reconstruction. The double tower front became 1948 abgertragen, the reconstruction of the inside still dragged on until 1979. 1968 reconstructed Erwin creep the Rococo front, it before that remaining remained the projectile of the Voigt' double tower front before-dazzled. Behind the church gate still another part of the original front of 1772 is recognizable. To that extent the today's situation does not show the original of 1773, since the portal front of the convention building jumps forward and is not on one level to more with it, which corresponds to the type of baroque monasteries in Bavaria and the original situation.

Program and conception

Johann Michael Fischer succeeded in its early work a crucial new solution in the creation of an area: It merges along and Zentralbau into a new type. Thus fallow it the Formensprche of the architecture of its time up: Instead of wall columns wall tongues with kannelierten Pilastern, spacestrutting replace the hemisphere domes. The stucco framing is used as which summarizes all construction elements rhythmically. Behind it stands the idea which is to release the sky.

In order to reach this, Fischer did consciously without right angles. The main area is oval conceived and consists of two side chapels and four konchenformigen chapels in the space corners, which do not lie on a common diagonal axle. The Chorapsis with the high altar, lain in the west, finds its correspondence in a semicircular monk choir behind it.
