St. Pankratius, Romanesque Revival church in Gütersloh, Germany.

St. Pankratius is a Romanesque Revival church built in 1889/1890 to a design by Paderborn diocesan architect Arnold Güldenpfennig, making it the largest church in Gütersloh. Its red brick exterior has a tall, slender spire with a dark pointed roof and a small green dome, a lower gabled section with narrow windows, and a smaller corner tower beside a large circular window. Inside, pale stone columns line the nave, and a gallery above the entrance holds an organ with grey metal pipes, four longer silver pipes with red caps suspended in front.

The church was designed in the 19th century by architect Arnold Güldenpfennig and reflects the era's interest in Romanesque Revival forms. It belongs to a wave of church construction that spread across North Rhine-Westphalia during the same period.

The parish shares its patron, Saint Pancras, with the older Apostles' Church, which served Catholics and Protestants jointly from 1655 to 1890 and also carried the St. Pankratius dedication. The community runs the Sankt-Elisabeth-Hospital and belongs to the Gütersloh Mitte-West pastoral association in the Archdiocese of Paderborn.

The building sits centrally in Gütersloh and is easily reached by foot from main streets, though parking may be limited in the immediate area. Walking around the neighborhood allows you to appreciate how the church fits into the wider local landscape.

The 1891 bell cast by Petit & Gebr. Edelbrock survived both world wars in the roof turret before being removed in 1952; nobody recorded why or where it was given away. Since 2009 a new bell in the roof turret completes the seven-voice main-tower peal, four of whose bells were cast by Junker in Brilon in 1946.
