Pauluskirche Recklinghausen, Catholic church in Paulusviertel district, Recklinghausen, Germany.

St. Paulus is a Roman Catholic church in Recklinghausen, built in 1906 as a neo-Romanesque basilica. Its nave is the largest of any church in the city, while its single 69-metre tower is shorter than those of the Liebfrauenkirche, Johanneskirche and Petruskirche. Only one of the two planned towers was constructed.

The church was built in 1906 and documents the development of religious architecture in the industrialized Ruhr region. It stands today as a protected monument and represents the architectural ambitions of the Catholic community in this growing industrial city.

The four steel bells in the tower were cast in 1923 at the Bochumer Glockengießerei and are named Paulus, Johannes, Augustinus and Clemens, sounding a0, cis1, e1 and fis1. The church keeps Stations of the Cross from 1917 and a Triumphal Cross from 1931, whose beam ends carry the four Evangelists.

The church stands in central Recklinghausen; its 69 m tower is lower than the 75 m towers of the Liebfrauenkirche and Johanneskirche and the 72 m baroque dome of the Petruskirche, so it is easy to tell apart. The four steel bells hang in the tower, cast in 1923 in Bochum and named Paulus, Johannes, Augustinus and Clemens.

The main organ was built in 1930 by Franz Breil of Dorsten with 56 stops on three manuals and pedal. In 1980 a second Breil organ from the Prosper Hospital chapel was placed in the choir apse, and since 1987 a five-manual console plays both, giving 70 stops in all.
