History

In 1911, urban development began in the woodland along the Munich-Kreuzstraße railway line.

, transferring it in 1921 to a newlyconsecrated chapel of ''Maria im Walde'' (''The Chapel of St Mary of the Woods''.) Today, it stands as a memorial church for the victims of the two World Wars. As the settlement continued to expand, the chapel became too small for its congregation. In 1920, Munich architect Franz Xaver Boemmel founded ''Kirchenbauverein Gartenstadt-Neubiberg e.V.'' (''The Association for Supporting the Construction of a Church in Gartenstadt-Neubiberg'') with the aim of funding a new church in the town. The building was erected by local company Metzger & Spörkl. The church was consecrated by Michael, Cardinal von Faulhaber on November 11, 1928. In 1968, the church was renovated and extended with a nave aisle.
