St. Bonifatius

St. Bonifatius is a Catholic church in Bilk made of red brick with a rectangular form and several arched windows along its facade, topped by a prominent bell tower. The structure displays clean lines of early 20th-century design and presents a solid appearance both inside and outside.

The church was completed in 1927 and built during the Weimar Republic as a new religious center in the Bilk district. Its construction reflects the growth of the Catholic population in Dusseldorf during this period.

The church serves the local Catholic community as a social gathering place where people meet for services and community celebrations. This role as a meeting point shapes neighborhood life in Bilk to this day.

The church sits centrally in Bilk and is easy to reach on foot, with good access through local streets and pathways. Visitors should come during service times or call ahead if they wish to view the interior.

Architect Franz Schneider designed the building using the design principles of that era, favoring solid and functional construction. This restrained approach without excessive decoration makes it a typical example of regional church architecture from that time.
