List of sacred buildings in Oberhausen

The list of sacred buildings in Oberhausen includes sacred buildings sponsored by Christian denominations and other religious communities.

Roman Catholic churches

Financial problems force the porters to close the church . Some of the Roman Catholic churches have already been profaned or demolished. The diocese of Essen leads since 2005 such buildings that are still in use, but received no financial resources to as "other churches". Very few parts of the city have more than one church in which services are regularly celebrated.

Definitions

The main churches of a parish have the title “parish church”, the main churches of a pastoral care district have the title “parish church”.
