Liebfrauenkirche

Liebfrauenkirche is a modern two-story concrete church in central Duisburg built with natural stone and extensive glass surfaces. The building stands near the district court, city theater, and Mercator Hall, defining the area with its contemporary design.

The current building was consecrated in 1961 and replaced a neo-Gothic church from 1896 that was destroyed in 1942. The parish itself traces its roots to the 13th century.

The church transformed into a cultural center in 2013 and now hosts concerts, art exhibitions, and performances throughout the year. Visitors use the space as much for live music and visual art as for worship.

The interior is easily accessible and offers plenty of space to move around and explore. Its location near public transit and other city attractions makes it straightforward to visit and plan additional activities in the surrounding area.

The facade features a stone relief of Moses and the Burning Bush carved by artist Karl Heinz Türk in 1965. Inside, some of the furnishings came from the Vatican Church display at the 1958 Brussels World's Fair.
