Facts and practical information

The Catholic parish church Maria Hilf in der Au, called Mariahilfkirche, is the main parish church of Au. It was begun between 1831 and 1839 by Joseph Daniel Ohlmüller and completed by Georg Friedrich Ziebland. The landmark of the Au is considered an archetype of the neo-Gothic church building of the 19th century. It is one of Munich's three "neo-Gothic siblings," the Heilig-Kreuz-Kirche and St. Johann Baptist, all three of which share a similar monumental brick architectural style and are located east of the Isar River.
