St. Elisabeth, Catholic church building in northern Aachen, Germany

St. Elisabeth is a neo-Gothic church built in 1907 at Jülicher Straße 68 in Aachen. Its light grey stone exterior has a square tower with a tall, tapering spire, a steep gable roof, a large traceried window, a rounded archway and a smaller gabled porch. The roof is covered with Moselle slate.

The parish was founded in 1901 when land was bought on Jülicher Straße; Cologne architect Eduard Endler won the 1903 competition, and construction began in autumn 1904. Archbishop Antonius Cardinal Fischer consecrated the church and high altar on 12 May 1907. A bombing raid on 14 July 1943 set the roof and tower cladding alight; services resumed on 25 July 1943, and the rebuilt church was rededicated on 25 February 1951.

The church is dedicated to St. Elisabeth of Thuringia, and its stained-glass choir windows installed in 1908 depict scenes from her life. Since 2017 the former nave has housed a coworking space, and the rooms can be rented for public cultural or private events.

St. Elisabeth stands at Jülicher Straße 68, near the corner with Blücherplatz in northern Aachen. Since July 2017 the former nave has housed the digitalHUB Aachen coworking space, and rooms can be rented for public cultural or private events, so entry depends on events and tenants rather than fixed visiting hours.

The church's four bronze bells, funded by donations and first rung on 10 May 1913, were melted down for war material on 17 June 1917, along with 23 organ pipes that left the organ unusable for two years. The 1928 replacements from Petit & Gebr. Edelbrock carried the same inscriptions as the lost bells.
