St. Nikolaus, Catholic church in Steinbüchel/Neuboddenberg, Leverkusen, Germany

St. Nikolaus is a church building in neoromanesque style located in Leverkusen with a cruciform layout and a semicircular apse. The structure was built from red brick and features a three-nave basilica configuration with a large tower on the east side and two smaller towers flanking the western entrance.

The first stone was laid on 8 July 1894 and construction was completed by spring 1895. The official opening took place on 27 May 1895, with Archbishop Antonius Fischer presiding over the ceremony and relics from the previous church transferred to the new high altar.

The parish is named after Saint Nicholas and belongs to the Leverkusen Südost pastoral area. The interior was painted in 1903–1904, and an organ by the Bonn builder Klais was acquired. The church keeps furnishings from the earlier church, including three altars, the baptismal font and a mission cross dated 1788.

St. Nikolaus stands at Berliner Straße 173 in the Steinbüchel-Neuboddenberg district, on the southeastern edge of Leverkusen. The main portal is flanked by two small towers, while the 41-metre main tower with its grey pyramidal spire serves as the landmark for orientation. The nave measures 31 metres long and 12.5 metres wide.

The three large bells were taken down from the tower in 1942 for the armaments industry; the parish received new bells in 1953 through the generosity of the faithful. The tower holds four bells in all. The mission cross from 1788 came from the earlier church rebuilt that same year.
