St. Paul's Church in Munich was designed by the Austrian architect Georg von Hauberrisser and built from 1892 to 1906. The article names no client. The style is Gothic Revival. It stands north of the Theresienwiese in the Ludwigsvorstadt-Isarvorstadt quarter. The core is brick, with exterior cladding of Ansbach limestone and interior Upper Bavarian tuff.
The main tower is 318 feet (97 m), modeled on the tower of Frankfurt Cathedral, and two western towers are 249 feet (76 m) each. A large rose window sits above the main west entrance.
Air raids heavily damaged it in World War II, especially in December 1944, and the high altar was lost. On December 17, 1960, a Convair C-131D Samaritan crashed after striking the steeple shortly after taking off from Munich-Riem Airport. It is a large Catholic church. The article gives no hours.
