Parish
The Orthodox parish of the Holy Archangels is the only German-language and national Orthodox church in North Rhine-Westphalia . It was founded in 1958 by Archpriest Sergius Heitz . Since 1975 it has been subordinate to the Archbishop of the Archbishopric of Orthodox Congregations of Russian Tradition in Western Europe with its seat in Paris, the multinational Western European Diocese of the Ecumenical Patriarchate . For half a century, the Jan Wellem Chapel in Düsseldorf-Hamm was the community's place of worship. In accordance with the Archbishopric's self-image, the congregation of the Holy Archangels also sees itself as a local church and not as an exile or national church .
