Propsteikirche St. Augustinus, Neo-Gothic church in Gelsenkirchen, Germany

The Propsteikirche St. Augustinus stands as a three-nave brick basilica with a transept and a 93-meter-high tower in central Gelsenkirchen.

Built between 1874 and 1884 by architect August Carl Lange, the church suffered severe damage during the 1944 bombing and underwent reconstruction from 1948 to 1960.

The church features artistic elements including granite altar with bronze reliefs and stained glass windows created by Walter Klocke in the twentieth century.

The church remains open for personal prayer from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM on weekdays, with specific hours during religious services on Sundays and holidays.

The bell system consists of six steel bells, all cast in 1952 by the Bochumer Verein company in the nearby city of Bochum.
