St. Peter's Church in Munich has no named architect or client in the article, and the page has no infobox. A pre-Merovingian church stood on the site before Munich's founding in 1158, and a new church was consecrated at the end of the 12th century. The Gothic expansion came shortly before the great fire of 1327, and the church was rededicated in 1368.
The article describes Bavarian Romanesque origins, Gothic expansion, a Renaissance top on the spire and a Baroque choir added in the early 17th century. The tower, nicknamed Alter Peter, is 299 feet (91 m) tall. It names no materials.
Allied bombing caused heavy damage in World War II. Johann Baptist Zimmermann painted the ceiling fresco in 1753 to 1756, restored in 1999 to 2000. It is a Roman Catholic parish church in the inner city. The article gives no hours.
