St. Paulus, Roman Catholic church in Beuel-Ost, Germany
St. Paulus is a church in Beuel-Ost located on Siegburger Straße and displays the architectural style typical of religious buildings from the mid-20th century. Its design reflects the construction principles that guided the rebuilding of sacred spaces in postwar North Rhine-Westphalia.
Construction began in March 1957 under architect Dominikus Böhm, with the first mass held in September 1958. It assumed the religious role of the Vilich parish church, which had been destroyed in 1765, serving the expanding community in Beuel.
The church carries a name rooted in an older parish community from Vilich, showing how religious traditions persist across generations. Today it serves as a gathering place where this historical connection remains part of the community's identity.
The church is open for regular religious services and public events as part of the parish community. Visitors can explore the interior and view the architecture during times when services are held.
Inside sits an organ originally built by the Verschueren company in 1966 for St. Petrus Canisius in Düsseldorf before being relocated to this church. This instrument carries its own acoustic history into the space.
