In former times, the castle chaplain pastorally looked after the small village of Kemnaten (that was the name of Nymphenburg before the castle was built). As the city grew more and more into this area, the court curacy was elevated to a parish in 1922. Since the castle chapel also became too small, the Munich architect August Blössner was commissioned to build a new church. In 1930 it was completed, with an external appearance strongly oriented towards Baroque building traditions. Destroyed in the Second World War, the church was rebuilt in a much simpler way from 1947 to 1950.

After delays due to war and inflation, the parish of St. Magdalena was built in 1922 and the church was finally built between 1928 and 1930. As had been planned for a long time, the name of the parish was changed to Christ the King in 1936. On February 25, 1945, the church was destroyed by a bomb attack. From 1947 to 1950 it was rebuilt under the direction of Sep Ruf. In 1977 the building was renovated.

The Catholic Church Christkönig in Munich-Nymphenburg was built between 1947 and 1950 under the direction of Sep Ruf. A predecessor building on the same site, which was built between 1928 and 1930, fell victim to the Second World War.
The church is very simply designed on the inside.
