The Lutheran parish church of St. Matthew, called Matthäuskirche, was the first Protestant church in Munich. The first building seen here, erected from 1827 to 1833, was a post-classical rotunda. The church was located at Karlsplatz (Stachus) at the height of Schwanthalerstraße corner Herzogspitalstraße.
