St. Laurentius, Gothic Revival church in Wanne, Herne, Germany.

St. Laurentius is a Roman Catholic church on Hauptstraße/Karlstraße in the Wanne district of Herne, built in brick from 1884 to 1892 to designs by Dombaumeister Arnold Güldenpfennig. It is a three-aisled hall church in the neo-Gothic style, with a four-storey tower whose paired pointed-arch windows rise beside the nave. The tower carries a steep spire clad in pale green panels with a round clock face, and tall pointed-arch windows line the red brick nave under a dark grey roof.

The foundation stone was laid on 15 August 1884 by Pastor Hackmann of Eickel, and the choir and nave were consecrated on 21 October 1885; the four-storey tower was finished in 1892. St. Laurentius became an independent parish on 27 October 1890 under Pastor Rudolf Wrede. Artillery and bombs damaged it in World War II, and after severe damage on 4 March 1945 it stood unusable until repairs to the vault and roof were completed in 1948. It was listed as a monument on 13 April 1987.

The church holds works by major 20th-century artists: Ernst Barlach's 'Lehrender Christus' (1931) and 'Wanderer im Wind' stand in the north aisle, while Gerhard Marcks made bronze figures including 'St. Martin mit dem Bettler'. A late-Gothic wooden Pietà is set into a niche in the stone beam, next to Käthe Kollwitz's print 'Die Begegnung mit dem Tod'.

St. Laurentius stands at the corner of Hauptstraße and Karlstraße in Wanne, its main portal facing the street beneath the tower. The church belongs to the St. Christophorus parish formed in 2019. Visitors enter through the small arched doorway on the right of the facade; the interior is reached at ground level, without steps from the street.

The tower holds four cast-steel bells from Bochumer Verein. After the original bells were surrendered in World War I, three bells in e′, g′ and b′ were acquired in 1917; a fourth, in cis′, was added in 1954. Cast in a special profile, the cis′ bell has a somewhat peculiar sound.
