Herz-Jesu-Kirche, Romanesque Revival filial church in Altenessen-Süd, Essen, Germany.

The Herz-Jesu-Kirche features a combination of preserved outer walls, tower base, and modern architectural elements integrated during its 1958 reconstruction.

Originally constructed in 1894, the church experienced destruction during World War II and underwent complete reconstruction in 1958 under architects Emil Steffann and Karl-Otto Lüfkens.

The weekday chapel contains lead glass windows by artist Franz Pauli, depicting various scenes from both the Old and New Testament scriptures.

The church belongs to the parish of St. Johann Baptist and maintains regular religious services for the local Catholic community in Altenessen-Süd.

Four bells cast by Petit & Gebr. Edelbrock in Gescher form an ideal quartet, each bearing inscriptions from biblical passages.
