## Commentary

In the first half of the 19th century in Germany, alongside Gothic Revival buildings, other styles in church architecture had also gained a footing. Georg Friedrich Ziebland opted for the model of Early Christian Italian basilicas for St. Bonifatius church in Munich. The huge five-aisle building with a round-arch arcaded porch not far from the Königsplatz in Munich draws particularly on both Sant&#39;Apollinare in Classe in Ravenna and San Paolo fuori le Mura in Rome. The church was largely destroyed in 1944-45.
