St. Gregorius im Elend, Baroque Revival church in Altstadt-Süd, Germany
The church features a rectangular choir and single-nave structure with decorative elements reflecting late Baroque architectural characteristics throughout its interior and exterior.
Originally constructed in 1765, the church was rebuilt after World War II destruction, incorporating the surviving outer walls into the new structure completed in 1967.
The church maintains strong connections to its community through regular Catholic services for national minorities and annual family gatherings within the Altstadt-Süd district.
Located near Katharinengässchen in Cologne's southern old town, the church offers guided tours and maintains regular opening hours for visitors and worshippers.
The name derives from its location near a historical cemetery that served as a burial ground for homeless individuals and non-Catholic citizens in medieval Cologne.
