Catholic parish of St. Peter and Paul (Duisburg)
The Catholic parish of St. Peter and Paul (Duisburg) is the parish in the Duisburg district of Huckingen . She belongs to the dean's office Duisburg-Süd in the diocese of Essen . The congregation celebrates its services in the church of St. Peter and Paul . It looks back on over 700 years of historical tradition.
Church history up to the Reformation
The Christianization of the right bank of the Rhine around Kaiserswerth including Huckingens goes back to Suitbert in the 7th century. Initially, Huckingen was part of the Mündelheim parish . Later a branch church (= chapel ) was set up in Huckingen , but it remained under the sovereignty of the main parish in Mündelheim. The first documentary mention of the Huckingen branch church dates from 1289, in which a rector Winand of the chapel in Huckingen and his bell ringer Dietrich are named. Obviously, a church building must have already existed at this point in time.
In 1398 Hermann Eickhorn von Duisburg was rector of the branch church, which was dedicated to Saint Magnus, d. H. was consecrated either to Magnus von Füssen or Magnus von Fabrateria vetus . At the end of the 14th century, Priest Gottschalk Selendonc von Ratingen was given the position of pastor. In 1476 Count Heinrich von Limburg-Broich was the legal collator of the branch church. In 1509 it was Count Johann von Limburg-Broich , pawnbroker of Broich. He transferred the position that had become vacant after the death of Rector Johannes Venator to clergyman Sverin Steenhuyß from the diocese of Cologne .
In 1552 Vicar Heinrich Krum headed the branch church, introduced by Count Wirich V. von Daun-Falkenstein . Heinrich Krum converted to Reformed teaching and became a Reformed priest in Mettmann .
In 1568 Count Wirich VI transferred. von Daun-Falkenstein gave the branch church to the married Reformation supporter and family man Gerhard Barß. Although the officials of the Duke in Angermund vehemently demanded his removal, Barß, with the support of Count von Daun and the population of Huckingen, was able to remain in office until his death on July 25, 1587. In 1588, the Count of Daun appointed a Reformed clergyman who, however, was taken away shortly before Easter 1589 and imprisoned in Angermund for almost two months. After that, the position remained vacant for two years and the service was suspended. After a Catholic pastor named Peter Schuven, appointed by Angermund, took his leave shortly afterwards, Count von Daun once again appointed a man of the Reformed faith named Arnold Guisen from Duisburg in 1594. The Mündelheim parish protested and forbade Guisen to preach. After Count Wirich VI. Had been killed by Spanish mercenaries near Broich Castle on October 11, 1598 , further reformatory efforts lacked support and Huckingen became Catholic again and remained so for a long time.
In 1625 a pastor named Hoichstraiß was active in Huckingen.
Catholic parish after the Reformation
After long religious disputes, in 1671 the Counts of Broich, who decided in favor of Protestantism , with the consent of the Duke of Jülich-Berg, gave the patronage right for the Huckingen branch church to the Duisburg Kreuzbruderkonvent , which had to swear allegiance to the Mündelheim parish.
In 1733, the church masters in Huckingen asked for timber for new posts for their branch church.
In 1746 the small wayside chapel in honor of Rochus of Montpellier ( Rochuskapelle ) is rebuilt. In 1755 lumber was asked for for confessionals. In 1767 a new small church (St. Petrus and Paulus) follows on the site of the smaller chapel (St. Marie Virgine) that previously existed there. In 1777 the sexton Rütgenbach asked for fire wood out of poverty and the community for wood for the construction of a new community school and in 1788 for the replacement of the floor coverings in the church, which had been rotting since the floods in 1784. In 1800 it was the deservitor of the Huckingen vicarie Johann Heinrich Streithoven who asked for wood for his church. In 1804 the government in Düsseldorf ordered wood to be made available for the construction of a school.
Around 1778 the Cross Brothers Josef Golzheim and Johannes Henricus Streihoven-Reiter were vicars in Huckingen, but after the dissolution of the Order of the Cross Brothers in 1815, Mündelheim pastors and Minorite Franciscans from Duisburg took over pastoral care. Huckinger had already signed a contract with the latter in 1727 for regular early masses.
After the dissolution of the Order of the Cross Brothers in Duisburg, Father Conradus Schommerz moved to the pastorate in Huckingen. He had previously worked in Huckingen and now campaigned strongly for the independence of the Huckingen branch church. In 1804 he asked for wood for his church. On August 15, 1833, Huckingen was finally raised to an independent parish, which at that time included the districts of Huckingen, Buchholz including Eichelskamp, Großenbaum, Wedau and Bissingheim. Father Schommerz, officially the parish administrator, retired on May 18, 1842 and was replaced by the first official pastor, Franz Ackermann.
Due to the poor condition of the previous church built in 1767 and an urgent need for expansion, a new sacred building in neo-Gothic style was built between 1877 and 1893, the Church of St. Peter and Paul . Shortly before the completion of the new church, the church choir Cäcilia was founded in 1892. The consecration of the new church takes place in 1902.
Due to further population growth, the parish Huckingen finally had to be divided. In 1910, the Huckingen branch church in Buchholz, which had only been founded in 1907, was elevated to an independent parish (St. Judas Thaddäus). In 1914, Großenbaum also got its own parish (St. Franziskus). Wedau (St. Joseph) followed in 1920, and Bissingheim (Rectorate Parish St. Raphael) in 1929.
With the establishment of the Ruhr Diocese on January 1st, 1958, the south of Duisburg was separated from the Archdiocese of Cologne and added to the Diocese of Essen. Today all Catholic churches in the old Huckingen community belong to the Duisburg-Süd deanery in the diocese of Essen.

As a result of the restructuring of the diocese of Essen on September 30, 2006, the parish of St. Peter and Paul merged into the parish of St. Judas Thaddäus, which was also renamed the parish of St. Judas Thaddäus . The parish of St. Judas Thaddäus now covers the entire area of southern Duisburg with a total of six parishes. There is only a church council at the parish level, no longer in the individual parishes.
