Frauenkirche

--Personal Experience-- The place was magical. As any church it had tinted windows with beautiful drawings and stories in those tinted windows. The big cross was also massive and elegant in person. The church also had a magnificent church with many big pipes distributed around the church. I wish I could hear its sound. --Legend-- I have also heard the legend about the Frauenkirche. It goes that the devil himself left a footprint right at the church entrance. When the church was almost finished, the devil wandered by and got angry that yet another place had been built in God’s name. He walked into the entrance hall and noticed that the inside seemed to have no windows at all. Thinking the builder had made a huge mistake, he burst out laughing. He jumped up in delight and, when he landed, he left his footprint behind. But as soon as he stepped further inside, he realized the truth: the windows were there all along, just hidden by the big pillars and the old Gothic altar. Furious at being tricked, he tried to destroy the church by turning into a raging storm—but he couldn’t do it. People still say you can feel his angry wind whipping through the streets around the Frauenkirche today.

Apparently I'm the devil A beautiful, expansive church well worth a look. Inside an organ was playing and the music filled the church with a beautiful sound. Near the entrance is the famous Teufelstritt (Devil's Footstep) - which is basically a mysterious footprint etched into a tile on the floor. So like everyone else, I put my foot on it and it's a perfect match! I always had my suspicions.

Beautiful church with interesting legend about its construction. Beautiful inside and out. Nice place to find a quiet place to sit and rest in the middle of hectic historical center of Munich. One can spend 5 or 25 minutes here.

Frauenkirche is impossible to miss; the twin onion-domed towers are basically the city’s calling card, looming above the skyline since their completion in 1488. Up close, the Late Gothic brickwork feels fortress-like, but step inside and it shifts: the soaring white interior, with its slender columns and ribbed vaults, feels almost weightless. Light filters through stained glass that miraculously survived the bombing of World War II, giving the space a quiet dignity. What surprised me most, though, wasn’t the grandeur but the details: the “Devil’s Footprint” in the floor, linked to a centuries-old legend, and the striking tomb of Emperor Ludwig IV (who died in 1347), guarded by bronze knights. It’s these little touches that make the cathedral more than just an architectural icon, it’s a place layered with stories, power, and myth. Standing there, you feel both the scale of Bavarian history and the human quirks that keep it alive.

“Big, Bold, and Full of Legends” Frauenkirche is impossible to miss—those two giant onion-domed towers are basically Munich’s skyline. Inside, it’s grand and peaceful, with soaring ceilings that make you feel tiny in the best way. Don’t skip the “Devil’s Footprint” legend—apparently even Satan couldn’t resist checking this place out. 👣😈 Adds a fun twist to an already stunning church. Climb the tower if you can—the view over Munich with the Alps in the background is unreal. Whether you’re into history, architecture, or just cool stories, Frauenkirche is a must.

Nice building architecture with huge pretty stained glass windows. Also some good sculptures and grand tombs. But it's all nothing compared to the St. Stephen cathedral in Vienna.

A beautiful church with outstanding architecture and interesting history covered with legends. We visited the viewpoint in the south tower in May 2024 and the views were breathtaking. I especially liked the views of the north tower, it looked so close to the windows! The interactive maps are very helpful and fun to use. They show the same view you see from the windows, and you can tap on any building and read about it. The 3D postcards are pricey but extremely beautiful.

It's worth a stop hard to find a peaceful corner It's got people also searching for something. Some interesting pieces. The fountain outside is nice and cool also and as refreshing. Outside is imposing brickwork.
