{{Authority control}}
After the old hall became too small, the sodales of the Marian Men Congregation decided for a new building in 1610. The Building was first not intended for worship. Therefore it was built near the jesuit convent St. Michael. The Jesuits had the pastoral leadership. Insofar as the construction of the "Bürgersall" is funded privately by the Marian Men Congregation. During Second World War's air raids the building was completely destroyed, only the main facade remained intact.


{{DEFAULTSORT:Burgersaalkirche (Munich)}}
The facade follows the structure inside, which knows a subdivision in an upper church and a crypt. The church upstairs corresponds the "Bürgersaal" before its destruction. Only the ceiling fresco "Assumption" (Martin Knoller, 1773/74) was not reconstructed. The overall design comes from Johann Andreas Wolff. The church downstairs consists of a windowless, three-aisle space, which was converted with the Congregation printing office to a crypt.

Bürgersaal Munich
High altar upper church

The Bürgersaal (English: "Citizen's Hall") is a historical building in Munich, Germany. Also known as Bürgersaalkirche since the consecration of the altar on May 13, 1778, it is the prayer and meeting room of the Marian Men Congregation "Annunciation". It was built in 1709/1710 to a design by Giovanni Antonio Viscardi.

Architecture

The church is divided into an upper church on the upper floor and a lower church on the lower floor. The baroque façade mirrors this inside division of the construction towards the outside. Above the entrance stands a figure of the enthroned Madonna and Child. On the upper floor was the prayer room, which then already since 1778 has been used as a church. A masterpiece of the interior decoration is the sculpture of the Guardian Angel with child from Ignaz Günther from 1763 and a relief of Andreas Faistenberger from 1710 from the former high altar which was destroyed in World War II. On the lower floor is the grave of Rupert Mayer.
