Why is this church so simple? You might be surprised by the stark interior of the Evangelisch Reformierte Kirche. You see, it reflects a core principle of the Reformed Church: nothing should distract from the Word of God. The history of this church, the Evangelisch Reformierte Kirche, is intertwined with the journey of Protestantism in Munich. Protestantism, though a force in the Reformation, took a long time to establish itself in this city. The Bavarian rulers, staunch in their Catholic faith, didn’t allow for open Protestant practice for centuries. It wasn’t until the early 19th century that things began to shift. The arrival of Elector Max Joseph IV, a Protestant, with his wife Karoline from Baden, paved the way for change. Their Protestant chaplain marked a new era. However, the Evangelisch Reformierte Kirche we see today wouldn’t come about until much later. It was finally founded in 1926, a testament to the persistence of the Reformed tradition in Munich. Interestingly, it was actually formed by Protestants who felt the existing Lutheran services were “too Catholic.” The desire for a church centered on the Word of God, with minimal distractions, led to the distinct character of the Evangelisch Reformierte Kirche.
