St.-Fronleichnam-Kirche, Modern church building in Essen-Bochold, Germany.

St.-Fronleichnam-Kirche is a modern church building in Essen-Bochold with a distinctive left tower housing three bells. Its interior features a main altar made from red Main sandstone, with the original high altar table preserved within the design.

Construction of this church began in 1932 following initial plans from 1925, succeeding a temporary structure made from three former Krupp barracks built in 1919. After suffering substantial damage during World War II, the building was reconstructed through 1962 and subsequently modified.

The parish's cultural life is recorded in its furnishings: the wooden figure of John the Baptist, once a worm-eaten "children's bogeyman" in a dark corner of St. Dionysius, was restored by Heinz Hasenäcker and now stands by the baptismal font. Above the crypt entrance hangs Josef Hansen's 1931 altarpiece of St. Elisabeth with her three children at the Wartburg fountain, donated by rector Bollig for the 700th anniversary.

The church stands at the corner of Fronleichnamstraße in Bochold, its left tower holding the three bells cast in 1977. The altar of red Main sandstone was consecrated in 1992, and the Stations of the Cross completed by Grete Gömmer in 1975 line the interior. Look above the crypt entrance for the 1931 oil painting of St. Elisabeth.

The wooden figure of John the Baptist in the entrance area, near the baptismal font, stood until 1931 in a hidden corner of St. Dionysius as a children's bogeyman, worm-eaten; rector Bollig obtained it from the mother parish and had Heinz Hasenäcker restore it. The baptismal font of Danube limestone, consecrated by Bollig on 15 June 1933, was paid for by schoolchildren's collections and private donations.
