Pfarrkirche Herz Jesu, Gothic Revival parish church in Spiesen-Elversberg, Germany.

The Herz-Jesu-Kirche is a Gothic Revival church of tan and reddish stone blocks in Elversberg, built 1900–01 to plans by Ernst Brand. A square tower with a slate spire, four corner pinnacles and a white clock face stands to the left; to the right a gabled section holds a rose window above the pointed main portal. Inside, a stepped hall with cross-ribbed vaults leads to a five-sided choir.

Architect Ernst Brand of Trier drew the first plans in 1888, with a second version in 1898; the church was built in 1900–01. A sacristy was added in 1928 to plans by Josef Wilhelm Stockhausen of Neunkirchen. In March 2015 fallen ceiling parts forced closure, and Bishop Stephan Ackermann formally profaned the church on 22 November 2020.

The church is dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and the 1935 choir frescoes by church painter Alfred Gottwald take up the motto "Jesus has a heart for people". A St Joseph's altar recalls the church's builder, Pastor Wilhelm Albertz. Since the 22 November 2020 profanation by Bishop Stephan Ackermann, the building no longer hosts services.

The church has been closed since March 2015, when falling ceiling parts made it unsafe, and it was formally profaned on 22 November 2020, so there are no services to attend. Visitors can view the exterior from the street: the tan and reddish stonework, the clock face with black Roman numerals, and the rose window above the main portal.

The church has been closed since March 2015, when falling ceiling parts and numerous cracks in the vault made it unsafe; repairs were judged impossible that year. On 22 November 2020 Bishop Stephan Ackermann of Trier formally profaned it, after the parish council decided to hand it to the civil municipality.
