St. Franziskus

St. Franziskus is a Catholic church in Bilderstöckchen designed by architect Hans Schilling with modern architectural features. The building accommodates religious services and ceremonies for the local community.

The church was built in 1957 as part of post-war religious architecture development in Cologne. It emerged during a period when many destroyed religious buildings in the region were being rebuilt or newly constructed.

The church serves as a gathering space for the Catholic community, where people come together for masses and religious celebrations throughout the year.

The church is open to visitors, especially during service times when members of the community gather. It helps to check ahead about mass schedules and special events.

The building showcases Hans Schilling's distinctive approach to designing religious spaces with elements typical of the 1950s. This style of church architecture reflects a specific era and way of thinking that remains visible in the building's structure today.
