Although Munich had had a Protestant community since the Reformation, the Catholic Bavarian monarchs were disinclined to allow them to erect their own churches and their activities were suppressed. This began to change when, in 1799, Prince-elector Max IV Joseph married a Lutheran princess, Friederike Karoline Wilhelmine. Munich's growth as a trading and manufacturing centre in the 19th Century also saw an increase in the city's population of Lutherans. Two smaller churches were built, but by the end of the century it was clear a larger building was needed, and construction of St Luke's began in 1893. It was consecrated in 1896. The building is something of a smorgasbord of architectural styles: the exterior incorporates largely neo-Romanesque motifs, executed in red brick. At first sight, the arrangement of a dome and two west towers seems conventional, but the choice of corner-facing towers is nothing if not eccentric. Equally eccentric is the choice for Gothic forms for the interior, which takes the shape of a Greek cross with substantial galleries. The interior is rather a disappointment after the drama of the exterior, and is somewhat bare, save for an impressive altarpiece and pulpit. The church had an extensive and noted scheme of stained glass, but this was lost in World War Two. The church continues as a parish Church and is also a venue for concerts.

The Church, dedicated to St. Stephen, is the former cemetery church of the old South Cemetery of Munich. The church is a branch church of the Mother Parish of St. Peter. It was built from 1674 to 1677 by Georg Zwerger, to replace the previous wooden Salvatorkirchlein, erected in 1576. This was demolished in 1638, in the Thirty Years' War, to deny the invading Swedish force a foothold outside the city defences. The church is in a restrained baroque style: the most notable exterior feature is the small onion dome, which houses two small bronze bells.

He spoke out against anti-Catholic baiting campaigns and fought against Nazi church policy. Fr. Mayer spoke from the pulpit of St. Michael's in downtown Munich and because he was a powerful influence in the city, the Nazis could not tolerate such a force to oppose them. On 16 May 1937, the Gestapo ordered Fr. Mayer to stop speaking in public which he obeyed, but he continued to preach in church. He ended up in jail on numerous occasions as a result of his stand. It is an ordinary looking building from the outside but when you step in its beautiful. Nice ornate walls and ceiling and very peaceful. It was my first visit here and I was delighted we stepped in for a peek.
