St. Sebastian

St. Sebastian is a church building on Kirschallee street in Poppelsdorf featuring Romanesque Revival design constructed with traditional brick methods and balanced proportions. The structure displays characteristic features of late 19th-century German ecclesiastical architecture with symmetrical massing.

The building was completed in 1890 under architect Gerhard Franz Langenberg and was later recognized as a cultural monument. Its construction blends German brick building traditions with the contemporary Romanesque Revival style.

The church serves the Catholic community of Poppelsdorf as a gathering place for worship and has shaped local religious life for generations.

The church sits in a quiet residential area and is easily accessible on foot from nearby bus stops. Visitors should note that regular services take place, and it is advisable to check opening times in advance.

The name St. Sebastian refers to the patron saint against plague and disease, which held particular significance when founded during the 19th-century boom in Catholic sacred buildings. This historical name choice reflects the religious priorities that communities of that era placed on their churches.
