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.

The view of the castle canal from the Ludwig Ferdinand Bridge on the city side clearly shows the dimensions of the monumental three-winged complex of Nymphenburg Palace. From 1715 to 1918, it was the summer residence of the Electors, then of the Kings of Bavaria from the House of Wittelsbach. Nymphenburg is one of the largest palaces in Germany.

The iron and reinforced concrete arch bridge over the Nymphenburg Palace Canal connects Notburgastraße with Menzinger Straße. To its right and left, the Northern and Southern Drive Avenues lead to the palace. From the apex of the bridge, there is a direct view of Nymphenburg Palace. In 1892, the Ludwig-Ferdinand Bridge was built according to the plans of architect Friedrich von Thiersch as a single-arch road bridge with a span of 17.30 meters. It was Munich's first reinforced concrete arch. In 1914, the bridge was widened by 8.80 meters to accommodate tram tracks. In 1956, the bridge was significantly altered and widened again to a total of 33 meters, and in 1992 it was renovated. Today, four traffic lanes, a double tram track in between, turning lanes, as well as bicycle and pedestrian paths on both sides cross the Nymphenburg Palace Canal here. The bridge is named after Prince Ludwig Ferdinand of Bavaria (1859 to 1949), a doctor and artist from the House of Wittelsbach.

Christkönig is a Catholic parish church in the Munich district of Neuhausen-Nymphenburg. The town parish church Christkönig is located in Nymphenburg at Notburgastraße, corner of Prinzenstraße, a few meters from the castle canal. The postal address of the parish office directly on the church square is: Notburgastraße 15, 80639 Munich. The old village church of Kemnaten, as Nymphenburg was originally called, had to make way for the expansion of Nymphenburg Palace, begun by Elector Max Emanuel in 1701. The people living in and around the palace were initially cared for pastorally by Capuchins, and in the 19th century by curates (Hofkuratie Nymphenburg). The palace chapel also served as a place of worship for the local population. It was only when the city of Munich expanded around the turn of the 20th century and the population of Nymphenburg grew significantly – Nymphenburg was incorporated into Munich in 1899 – that a church building association was founded. After delays due to war and inflation, the town parish of St. Magdalena was founded 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 Christkönig in 1936. On February 25, 1945, the church was destroyed by a bombing raid. Between 1947 and 1950, it was rebuilt under the direction of Sep Ruf and renovated in 1977. Pastors of Christkönig Wilhelm Lurz (1902–1990), pastor at Christkönig from 1942 Josef Maß (1936–2006), pastor at Christkönig (1973–2006) ....
