St. Quintins-Kapelle, Romanesque church in Essen, Germany
St. Quintins-Kapelle featured a rectangular hall structure with an extended choir area, documented through sketches before its demolition in 1823.
The chapel was initially thought to be established around 835 by Saint Altfrid, founder of the Abbey of Essen, who acquired relics of Saint Quintin.
The Consuetudines ecclesie Assindies from the 13th century contained specific regulations about St. Quintin's role in the Abbey's liturgical practices.
The location of the former chapel is now marked by a commemorative plaque on a business complex, situated north of the Essen Minster.
An alley named 'An St. Quintin' between the current business building and St. John the Baptist parish church preserves the memory of this structure.
