St. Paulus, Former church in Mitte, Trier, Germany

St. Paulus is a former Catholic church on Paulusplatz in central Trier, built 1905–1907 in Neo-Romanesque style to a design by architect Wilhelm Schmitz. It is laid out as a transept basilica, and its tall corner tower shapes the street scene. The building has been profaned since 2017.

St. Paulus replaced an earlier church near the Irminenfreihof that was demolished in 1790 as unsafe; after secularisation in 1803 the nearby monastery church served the parish. The present building was erected between 1905 and 1907 in Neo-Romanesque style to a design by Wilhelm Schmitz. In December 2000 the parish merged into the new parish Liebfrauen, and on 5 November 2017 the church was profaned.

St. Paulus was profaned on 5 November 2017, so it no longer hosts Catholic services; the parish of Liebfrauen, formed in December 2000 from several Trier parishes, had owned it. The deconsecrated nave has since been rented by Trier Tourismus und Marketing GmbH, which staged the show "Die letzte Schlacht um Rom" there in 2022.

St. Paulus was profaned on 5 November 2017, so it no longer holds services; the building is rented by Trier Tourismus und Marketing GmbH and has hosted exhibitions and shows. The site, including the former parish house and parish hall, has been offered for sale since early 2019. Check current access arrangements before visiting Paulusplatz.

The crucifixion group at the former high altar site came from St. Martin's Abbey; the 1498 sculptures were moved indoors to protect them from weathering, and copies stand at their original outdoor location. The Mayer organ of 1973 was transferred to St. Hubertus in Aach.
