List of sacred buildings in Mülheim an der Ruhr

The list of sacred buildings in Mülheim an der Ruhr includes the current sacred buildings in today's urban area, which are sponsored by Christian denominations and other religious communities. In addition, former places of worship are listed that were of ecclesiastical, urban or architectural significance.

Industrialization in the Ruhr area and the associated immigration of many workers for the coal and steel industry brought about a boom in church building in the second half of the 19th century. Later buildings from the period between the world wars and post-war buildings are mostly architecturally valuable and today are often listed as historical monuments. The founding of the Ruhr Diocese in 1958 led to further new church buildings. After the turn of the millennium, however, the Protestant and Catholic churches have to face the declining number of church members with church closings and the profanation , rededication or abandonment of church buildings.

The lists can be sorted by church name, district, status and year of construction (several years in the case of extensive extensions).
