Sankt Suitbertus, Catholic church in Südstadt, Wuppertal, Germany.
Sankt Suitbertus is a church with a distinctive double tower facade on its western side, inspired by the design of Limburg Cathedral. Red brick walls form its structure, while a semicircular apse concludes the building at the east end.
Construction of this church took place between 1896 and 1899, but it was heavily damaged during an air raid in 1943. Only the exterior walls remained standing until rebuilding was completed in 1954.
The church hosts several choirs including Chorgemeinschaften and Schola Vox iuvenis, which perform concerts regularly throughout the year. These musical groups shape the cultural life of the community and draw visitors to their performances.
This building sits at the corner of Chlodwigstraße and Kölner Straße in a residential neighborhood, making it easy to find by foot. The community regularly organizes group meals and outdoor activities for visitors to join.
The original bells were cast by the Otto foundry in Bremen in 1899 and 1905, but most were melted down during the world wars. Only one bell from that era survives today and still hangs in the tower.
