Hauptkirche Sonnborn

The Hauptkirche Sonnborn rises on a hill above the Wupper river, featuring a modern architectural design with expressionist elements and local Bergisch style influences.

The first church at this location was built between the 6th and 9th centuries, mentioned in 874 as 'basilica quae est in Sunnebrunno' and belonged to Gerresheim Abbey.

The church maintains an active reformed congregation that organizes regular services, international evangelical community gatherings, and numerous musical performances throughout the year.

The building includes a modern glass room designated as a family church space, inaugurated in 2006 to accommodate contemporary community needs.

Frankish graves discovered at the church site provide evidence of continuous religious use of this location since early medieval times.
