Roman Catholic Deanery of Munich-Perlach

The Roman Catholic Deanery of Munich Perlach (German: "Dekanat München-Perlach") is a deanery of the Roman Catholic Church in the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising. At the moment, eight parishes belong to the deanery[1] and there are currently c.48,000 Catholics living in the deanery,[2] which roughly encompasses the area of district number 16 of the City of Munich, "Ramersdorf-Perlach" and the area of the municipality Neubiberg, south-east of Munich. The diocesan agenda for structural reorganization (Strukturplan 2020) regrouped the eight parishes as three pastoral unions and the borough parish ("Stadtteilkirche") of Neuperlach. The new common patronage of "Christ the Redeemer") fused five previously independent parishes.[3] The Dean is Christian Penzkofer and the Sub-Dean is Bodo Windolf.
