The brick building is richly structured on all sides and decorated with building decorations made of shaped stones and colored glazed bricks in the style of North German brick Gothic. The portal in the facade is located under a glare gable . In the broad central naveThree-part broken wooden ceilings were drawn in. There is a gallery in the north aisle .

The original area-wide painting was painted over around 1960. In the unadorned room only remnants of the original equipment are preserved.

The 1904 by the organ workshop Wilhelm Sauer with a two-part prospectus built organ is preserved original and an important witness to the early 1900's in Westphalia. The instrument has 40 registers on three manuals and a pedal . According to the late romantic type of organ, the manuals are graded according to volume, the pipes of the III.

Peal

The originally existing bells were melted down in the First World War . In 1923 the church received four new cast steel bells from the Bochumer Verein , which were rung regularly until the church was closed in 2013. The bells are still hanging in the belfry and were last rung briefly in 2019 as part of an event organized by the Dortmund Event Church, which is marketed there. In addition to ringing in church services, the bells were also used for mundane pealings , such as a quarter-hour clock . In early 2020, plans were proposed for the first time to reactivate (partially) the chime for the clock to strike. The bell sounds in a ° -c'-d'-e 'and thus represents the third lowest ring in Dortmund.

Mission of the Church

Because of the falling number of parishioners, five parishes merged to form the Evangelical Elias Parish. For financial reasons, the municipality has to part with part of its building stock. This church is one of them. A feasibility study was carried out at the end of 2011 for further use. On October 13, 2013, the church was dedicated in a solemn service. The church has been owned by a private investor since 2016 and is marketed as the "Event Church Dortmund", while the Elias parish remains the owner of the property.
