St. Peter is the oldest documented church in Munich, first mentioned in a document dated around 1225/26. It was expanded several times, went from Romanesque style through late Gothic style to its final appearance in late Baroque style.
The church was nearly completely destroyed during the allied bombing raid of February 25th 1945. The reconstruction after World War II was only completed in 2000 with the final reconstruction of the ceiling frescoes.
