Herz-Jesu-Kirche Sterkrade

The Herz-Jesu-Kirche features pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and flying buttresses, representing early 20th-century ecclesiastical architecture in North Rhine-Westphalia.

Construction of the church began in 1905, with its consecration performed by Auxiliary Bishop Everhard Illigens from Münster on July 14, 1907.

The church includes stained glass windows depicting biblical scenes and serves as a central gathering point for religious services and community events.

Located at Postweg in Oberhausen-Sterkrade, the church maintains an administrative office at Inselstrasse 31 and operates a community center at Inselstrasse 40.

The church organ, installed in 1975, occupies an unusual position behind the celebration altar in the apse, comprising 38 registers across three manuals and pedals.
