St. Jakob am Anger, Munich, Germany



The http://www.muenchen.de website outlines the history of this  Munich church:  "The institute church of St. Jacob was last destroyed in 1944 except for the outer walls and completely rebuilt in its present form as a brick building in the years 1955-1957. Inside the consistently white, high-class place of worship hangs above the altar the unusual interpretation of a crucifix by Josef Henselmann. Several important works of art adorn the room, eg a medieval sculpture of St. James by Erasmus Grasser. It is also worth taking a look up to the flat ceiling, whose modern, colorful frescoes Bill Nagel designed. Last but not least, the grave of the blessed founder of the school and of the order Maria Theresia by Jesus Gerhardinger is also worshiped here.  St. Jakob am Anger hosts daily masses and the church is open until late afternoon."
