Kirchturm St. Andreas, Romanesque church tower in Bad Godesberg, Germany

The Rüngsdorfer Kirchturm stands as the last remaining part of the old St. Andreas parish church, featuring architectural elements from the Romanesque period.

First mentioned in a document from March 31, 1131, when Pope Innocent II confirmed the ownership rights of the Bonn Cassius Foundation to the ecclesiam Rinnigestorph.

The tower room contains arrow slits suggesting a defensive purpose, while the space above the apse served for council meetings and document storage.

Located at coordinates 50.6843, 7.17234, the tower maintains its original function as a bell tower with preserved bells from 1746 and 1790.

The tower survived demolition plans in 1900 due to financial constraints preventing construction of a new bell tower for the modern church.

Location: Bad Godesberg
