St. Apollonius, Catholic church in Wawern, Germany.

St. Apollonia is a rough brown stone church in Wawern, built in 1929 to Peter Marx's plans as a hall church with a roof turret. A square tower with a grey slate spire, cross and golden weather vane carries a louvered window and a black clock face with gold numerals. Inside, the nave has a painted wooden ceiling, frescoes on walls and ceiling, and a blue and gold barrel-vaulted chancel arch framing a gold altarpiece.

The present church replaced an earlier chapel that had become dilapidated; it was built in 1929 to plans by the architect Peter Marx as a Bruchstein-Saalbau, a rough-stone hall church with a roof turret. It is dedicated to St. Apollonia of Alexandria and the Fourteen Holy Helpers, though it is mistakenly held to be dedicated to St. Apollonius. On 9 February 2022 a festal Mass was celebrated for the patronage of St. Apollonia and the Fourteen Holy Helpers.

The 18th-century altar of the Fourteen Holy Helpers carries figures or paintings of George, Dionysius of Paris, Erasmus, Giles, Catherine of Alexandria, Barbara, Pantaleon, Christopher, Eustace, Blaise, Cyriacus, Vitus, Achatius and Margaret. The wall paintings by priest Christoph März show saints' lives and biblical scenes, with women on the left and men on the right, drawn from people around the village. Ten coloured windows depict Gerhard, John the Baptist, Francis de Sales, Catherine, Margaret, Elizabeth of Thuringia, Joseph, Mary with the Christ Child, Mary Magdalene and Frances of Rome.

The church is located in Wawern and belongs to the Lasel parish within the Schönecken-Waxweiler parish association. Visitors can experience the space during regular services and community events held throughout the year.

Although the name suggests dedication to St. Apollonius, the church is actually consecrated to St. Apollonia of Alexandria and the Fourteen Holy Helpers. This dedication runs counter to initial expectations and reveals the complexity of local religious traditions.
