St. Paulus, Catholic church in Göttingen, Germany.

St. Paulus is a Catholic parish church in Göttingen's lower Ostviertel, on Wilhelm-Weber-Straße. The Neobaroque basilica is oriented east, with a west facade of gable, projecting entrance hall and balcony flanked by two squat corner towers. Rough-bossed Muschelkalk from Heiligenstadt contrasts with finely cut window frames; a tall clock tower with octagonal upper storey and onion dome stands on the street side.

The building was constructed between 1927 and 1929 and was the second Catholic church built in Göttingen after the Protestant Reformation. It marks an important moment in the revival of the Catholic community in the city.

The church is dedicated to the Apostle Paul, whose over-life-size statue stands in a niche in the west gable. Inside, the 1936 ceiling painting by Eduard Goldkuhle of the Wiedenbrück school shows the Apotheosis of Saint Paul; the 1936 stained glass with donor inscriptions is by Wilhelm Hallermann of Essen.

St. Paulus stands in Göttingen's lower Ostviertel on Wilhelm-Weber-Straße, not in the city center. The main entrance faces a small forecourt on the west side, reached by steps; the tall clock tower rises on the street side. The exterior survived the Second World War almost undamaged, while the interior was partly preserved and later remodeled.

The nave walls are braced by concave buttresses set between the clerestory windows, not by flying buttresses. The facade stone is rough-bossed Muschelkalk from a quarry near Heiligenstadt in the Eichsfeld, contrasting with the finely tooled pilasters, cornices and window frames.
