St.-Paulus-Kirche, Parish church in Velbert, Germany.

St.-Paulus-Kirche is a Roman Catholic church built in 1954–1955 at Heidestraße 202, designed by Gottfried Böhm in an industrial style with a sloping shed roof. Its nave measures 42 by 15 metres and rises 13 metres high, lit from above by a glazed barrel vault over the altar area. The free-standing bell tower stands apart from the main building.

The building was constructed between 1954 and 1955 following designs by architect Gottfried Böhm as an early project in his career. It emerged during the major reconstruction period after World War II, when many new churches were built across Germany.

The church is dedicated to the Apostle Paul; its altar wall by sculptor Jochem Pechau, 10 by 6 metres, is carved as a tree of life and quotes Jesus: "I am the vine, you are the branches." The parish belongs to the parish of St. Michael and Paulus Velbert in the Archdiocese of Cologne, and its two-manual Walcker organ has 14 stops.

The church stands at Heidestraße 202 in the southwestern part of Velbert, the area whose growth prompted its construction. The freestanding bell tower is separate from the nave, so look for it as a landmark when approaching along the street. The building has been a protected monument since 2003.

The free-standing bell tower is separate from the nave, which measures 42 by 15 metres and rises 13 metres high. Architect Gottfried Böhm, who also designed the Mariendom in nearby Neviges, used an industrial style with a sloping roof and a glazed barrel vault that lights the altar area from above.
