The Catholic Church of St. Elisabeth Hospital is a daughter church of the Catholic parish church of St. Peter in Munich.
Duke Albrecht V had set up a hospital for his court staff, which was named the Duke Hospital. The plans of Heinrich Schöttel have already provided a church in the center of the Duke Hospital, which received the patronage "St. Elizabeth".
The baroque building designed by Johann Gunetzrhainer was inaugurated in 1727.
In the 19th Century, the statue of the Sorrowful Virgin said to have a miraculous effect, so there were made pilgrimages, penitential pilgrimages and thanksgiving. The best known example is Lena Christ. She described in her biography "Memoirs of a superfluous", how she puts flowers in gratitude for their engagement in front of the Sorrowful Virgin on the altar.
Damaged during the Second World War, the Duke Hospital was demolished and replaced by a new building. The tower was restored, the nave replaced by a new building designed by Alexander Freiherr von Branca 1956/57, which is characterized by a interior built of bricks.
