history

The house of God is also known as the “City Church”. It was built according to the plans of the Langenfeld architect Bernhard Rotterdam . The consecration took place on October 5, 1929. The 45 m high brick tower, a symbol of the city after the Bayer Cross and the Water Tower, was not completed until the beginning of 1930. The nave is 60 m long and 17.50 m high. The interior was designed "location-conscious" in the style of an industrial workshop. The tall, slender arched windows in the south and west facade were designed by the Dutch artist Jan Thorn Prikker .

The parish of Herz Jesu and St. Antonius Wiesdorf, together with the parishes of Christ König Küppersteg and St. Stephanus (Bürrig), has formed the Wiesdorf-Bürrig-Küppersteg parish association since 2002, and since autumn 2009 as a parish community with a joint parish council. On January 1, 2012, these parishes merged to form the new parish of St. Stephanus, Leverkusen. Parish church is St. Stephen.
