Heilig-Kreuz-Kirche, Neo-Baroque church in Remscheid, Germany

Heilig-Kreuz-Kirche is a Catholic church built between 1925 and 1927 to a design by the Lennep architect Otto Christ. It was erected in a local Bergisch building style corresponding to Baroque character, with a tower and a nave. The five large windows and the oval medallion windows above them were made by Wilhelm de Graaff, a native of Lüttringhausen.

Construction took place between 1925 and 1927, but the project was initiated decades earlier by a land exchange agreement in 1907. This long delay between planning and building shows how the project gradually took shape over time.

Since 2012 the parish has practised the Bergisch custom of Beiern, ringing the bells in a fixed rhythm; it began during the biennial ecumenical parish festival shared with the two Protestant congregations, first alternating with the town church and later jointly. At the start a long coloured band was stretched between the two towers as a visible sign of ecumenism.

The church stands on Kreuzbergstraße, where a large wooden cross once drew pilgrims from the Bergisches Land. The site was exchanged in 1907 so the town hall could be built there. The building has been on Remscheid's monument list since 7 May 1987.

The large cross in the chancel has hung there since 1989 and was made by Ludek Tichy, a graphic artist and sculptor born in Prague in 1925. He shows Christ on the cross holding a rose in his hand, a detail visitors often miss when looking up at it.
