Heilig Kreuz-Kirche, Filial church with Romanesque Revival architecture in Gladbeck, Germany.

The Heilig Kreuz-Kirche features a distinctive ten-sided dome roof and stands as an example of early 20th-century religious architecture in North Rhine-Westphalia.

Built between 1912 and 1914 by Cologne architect Otto Müller-Jena, the church received its consecration in April 1915 due to delays caused by World War I.

The church contains colored glass windows created by the Papal Court Glass Painting Workshop W. Derix, depicting the four evangelists with exceptional artistry.

The Heilig Kreuz Foundation, established in 2003, represents the first organization of its kind in the Diocese of Essen dedicated to church preservation.

A national design competition in 2012 resulted in the creation of a Lenten veil by Claudia Merx that covers the crucifixion group inside the church.
