St. Markus Kirche - Munich, Germany - This Old Church on Waymarking.com

"The Evangelical Lutheran parish, university and Deanery Church of St. Mark, also known as St. Mark's Church is the second Lutheran church in Munich. It was built in 1873-1876, designed by Rudolf Hilary. The present building is virtually a new building, designed by Gustav Gsaenger taking into existing masonry structures that survived the Second World War. It is now the seat of the Dean of Munich-center and dean of the city of Munich, which are currently united in one person. St. Mark was the only Protestant church of historicism in Munich, which largely corresponded to the demands of the Eisenach regulator."

"Die evangelisch-lutherische St.-Markus-Kirche in der Münchener Maxvorstadt steht seit 1877 und blickt auf eine abwechslungsreiche Baugeschichte zurück. Der Stadtteil entstand als erste planmäßige Stadterweiterung zu Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts und wurde nach dem ersten König Bayerns benannt. Im 20. Jhdt. traf die Maxvorstadt besonders schwer der Umstand, dass München von den Nationalsozialisten zur „Hauptstadt der Bewegung“ ernannt wurde. Die Maxvorstadt war das Zentrum zentraler Gebäude der Partei und wurde zur architektonischen Inszenierung des nationalsozialistischen Herrschaftsanspruches mißbraucht. 1945 war die Maxvorstadt fast völlig zerstört, ihre öffentlichen Bauten wurden aber weitgehend originalgetreu wiederaufgebaut. Die einst neugotische St.-Markus-Kirche erhielt jedoch nicht mehr das alte, sondern nunmehr ein ganz neues architektonisches Gesicht. Steter Wandel zeichnet sich auch in der hohen Fluktuation im Stadtteil ab."

[English Translation]

"The Evangelical Lutheran Church of St. Mark's in the Munich suburb of Maxvorstadt stands since 1877 and has had a varied architectural history. The district was created as the first planned city expansion in the early 19th century and was named after the first king of Bavaria. In the 20th century, the fact that Munich was appointed by the Nazis as the "capital of the movement" hit particularly hard the Maxvorstadt. The Maxvorstadt was the center of the central building of the party and has been abused for architectural staging of the Nazi regime claim. 1945 Maxvorstadt was almost completely destroyed, their public buildings were rebuilt but largely true to the original. However, the once neo-Gothic St. Mark's Church was no longer the old, but now a whole new architectural face."
