Sacred-Heart-Church, church in Düsseldorf-Urdenbach, Germany
The Sacred Heart Church in Urdenbach is a church building in Romanesque Revival style featuring characteristic rounded arches, solid brick walls, and a tall tower. The structure is defined by large rounded windows, a prominent rose window, and a bell tower containing bronze bells cast in Bremen in 1912.
The church was built in the late 19th century and began serving its community within a year of construction starting. It became a rectorate church in 1902 and gained full parish status in 1906 after years of seeking independence from a larger church group.
The church takes its name from the Christian symbol of the Sacred Heart, representing compassion and devotion. The community gathers here for regular services and celebrates traditional festivals such as the annual harvest festival with processions through the neighborhood.
The church building is easily visible from the street and accessible through a barrier-free side entrance for those with mobility needs. Regular services take place on Saturday afternoons and Wednesday mornings, with exact times available by contacting the church office.
Four bronze bells were cast in Bremen in 1912 and produce five distinct tones, with two still hanging in the tower today. The smallest bell bears a Latin inscription and now rests on the church steps as a special reminder of this bell-making craft.
