round arches - Rundbogenstil
The Catholic Parish and University Church St. Louis, called Ludwigskirche,
in Munich is a monumental church in neo-romanesque style with the second-largest altar fresco of the world.
The building, with its round arches called the Rundbogenstil, strongly influenced other church architecture, train stations and synagogues in both Germany and the United States.
The Ludwigskirche is situated in the northern part of the Ludwigstrasse and was built by the architect Friedrich von Gärtner from 1829 onward (completed 1844).
The patron was King Ludwig I of Bavaria.
The facade with two steeples was constructed as balance to the Theatinerkirche, which stands diagonally opposite.
The floor plan shows the church as a model to a three-aisled Byzantine basilica with the basic geometric figure of the cross of tau.
The church is 60 m long and 20 m wide.
The towers are 71 meters high and each equipped with six bells, which are named after patron saints of the family of King Ludwig.
In the years 2007-2009 the church roof was re-covered in the originally planned mosaic decoration.
