The Patroclus Church is a Protestant church in the Kirchhörde district of Dortmund .

history

The first church building in Kirchhörde is dated to the 10th century. Between the years 964 and 1189 there was a chapel dedicated to Saint Patroclus here . His relics were transferred from Troyes to Soest in 964 . Presumably, a stop was made in Kirchhörde during this overpass.

A successor building was built between 1789 and 1807. The architectural model here was the Reinoldikirche , whose branch church was the Patroclus Church for a long time. That is why the church is popularly referred to as Klein-Reinoldi .

The Archbishop of Cologne granted the independent baptismal and burial rights as early as 1189 . The final separation from St. Reinoldi took place in 1655.
