Petrus-Lotichius-Church of Niederzell

The Petrus-Lotichius-Church features a cross-shaped layout with a tall tower, side niches, and space for 240 people in its 13-meter-long nave.

Construction of the church began in 1909 after the community outgrew their prayer room in the former mayor's house, completing the building in 1911.

The church honors Petrus Lotichius, a distinguished 16th-century Neo-Latin poet who studied in multiple European universities and wrote influential elegies.

Three bells cast by Bochumer Verein in 1911 remain in the two-story steel bell frame, while the organ received updates in 1998.

The church underwent renovations in 2006, incorporating contemporary design elements created by artist Tobias Kammerer into its Romanesque architecture.
