Pauluskirche

The Pauluskirche is a Neo-Romanesque basilica with five aisles and two distinctive towers on its facade. The interior contains a large organ with 60 registers and a smaller mechanical organ in the Marienkapelle.

The church was built in the 19th century in Neo-Romanesque style and suffered damage during World War II. After the war, it was carefully restored, preserving the original twin-tower facade while Hans Schwippert redesigned the interior.

The church displays artworks from different periods, including a 14th-century figure and modern furnishings by Fritz Schwerdt. This mix of old and new works shapes the interior and shows how the place has been shaped across generations.

The building serves as an active parish church and can be visited during opening hours. Visitors should note that regular services take place and accessibility may vary depending on events.

The bells of the Pauluskirche are among the deepest-toned in Düsseldorf and were cast in 1954 by Bochumer Verein. Their extraordinary sound marks the character of the neighborhood on days of worship.
