Pauluskirche

The Pauluskirche is a Gothic-style church in Bielefeld featuring a prominent 72-meter tower with four clock faces located at the corner of Paulusstraße and August-Bebel-Straße. The interior contains dedicated spaces including facilities for young children and separate areas for various community activities and worship purposes.

Construction of this Gothic church began in August 1880 under architect Rudolph Eberhard Hillebrand and was consecrated on October 28, 1883. The building survived significant hardship and emerged as an important landmark in the city's recovery.

The church serves as a gathering place for the local evangelical community, hosting regular worship that brings together people of all ages. Different groups experience religious life here, from young children to adults, each finding their own way to participate.

Visitors can easily locate the church thanks to its corner location and the tall tower that is visible from a distance throughout the neighborhood. The various spaces inside accommodate different needs, making it accessible for families with children of various ages.

The organ installed in 1928 was once the largest of its kind in Germany, showcasing the craftsmanship of that era. After World War II, the church bells were the first to ring again in the city, marking a symbolic new beginning.
