All but the outer walls were destroyed in World War II. The Interior was restored from old photographs in 1980, but the murals are now painted in Black and White.
On 1 September 2014, Reinhard Cardinal Marx, Metropolitan Archbishop of München und Freising, permanently entrusted the Church to The Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter (FSSP).
Since then, daily Mass has been exclusively offered in The Extraordinary Form.
