Saint Elisabeth of Hungary Church, Modern Catholic church in Hagen, Germany

Saint Elisabeth of Hungary Church is a neo-baroque Catholic church in Hagen, consecrated in 1927. It has a single square tower: rough grey stone blocks below, a cream upper section with tall arched openings and reddish-brown vertical bands. The long body has cream walls, a steep dark grey roof, a projecting polygonal section with round and arched openings, a row of arched side windows and a flat-roofed single-storey extension at the far right.

The foundation stone was laid on 28 June 1925, and the church was consecrated on 18 April 1927. Its first priest was Pater Ubald Michels OFM. Franciscan friars led the parish until 16 October 1988, which is why it is popularly called Klosterkirche. On 29 May 2024 a tornado tore the roof off the tower.

The church is dedicated to Elizabeth of Hungary, and its popular name Klosterkirche recalls the Franciscan friars who led the parish until 16 October 1988. Since autumn 2009 the weekday chapel has housed the Junge Kirche of the Hagen-Witten deanery.

The church stands at the corner of a residential street in the Wehringhausen district; the main entrance is at the base of the square west tower. The weekday chapel, home to the Junge Kirche since autumn 2009, is entered separately. Check Mass times in advance, as the interior is only open around services.

The church has a single square tower, not two. On 29 May 2024, a tornado tore the roof off this tower. The four cast-steel bells, installed in 1954, sound the notes cis′, e′, fis′ and a′.
