Jugendhaus, Architectural heritage monument in Pempelfort, Düsseldorf, Germany.

The five-story corner building features a fully glazed main facade complemented by a single-story wing and an attached chapel on its western side.

Between 1952 and 1954, architect Bernhard Pfau designed and constructed the current Jugendhaus building to replace the previous structure destroyed during World War II.

The Jugendhaus functions as a Catholic Church facility housing various departments and associations dedicated to youth ministry and organizational work.

The building contains archives documenting Catholic youth and sports organizations in Germany, with materials dating from 1900 accessible by appointment Monday through Thursday.

The Gestapo occupied the previous Jugendhaus multiple times during the Nazi regime, closing it for six days in 1933 and three weeks in 1935, before permanent closure in 1939.
