    This Perlach church was dedicated to the Archangel Michael. The name (coming from Hebrew) means "Who is like God?". He is often depicted - on paintings or as a statue - with a flaming sword, and occasionally a lance. Michael is - together with Raphael, Gabriel and Uriel - one of the four archangels who (according to human imagination) occupy the highest rank in the heavenly hierarchy of angelic beings. Their common feast day in the saints calendar is September 29th.

      St. Michael is a baroque Roman Catholic church in Munich's Perlach district on Pfanzeltplatz and belongs to the deanery of Munich-Perlach. The first mention of a church in Perlach dates back to 1020. Since the church's priest, Adilo, took part in a synod in Freising in 1180, the church must have been an independent parish with burial rights even then. The Romanesque predecessor church probably dates from the 12th or 13th century and had to be demolished in 1728.
      In 1728 the foundation stone for the new (today's) church building was laid by the bricklayers Michael Pröbstl and Johann Mayr and consecrated on May 25, 1732 by auxiliary bishop Johann Ferdinand von Pödigheim. The two late Gothic seated figures Anna Selbdritt and St. Koloman were taken from the old church and have found their place on the left and right choir arch altar. In 1990 the church was renovated.
      Since 2013, the parish of the Transfiguration of Christ in Ramersdorf and St. Michael (Perlach) together with St. Georg (Unterbiberg) have formed the Perlach Parish Association.
