Petrikirche (Wiemelhausen)
The Petrikirche is a Protestant church building at Wiemelhauser Straße 255 in Bochum-Wiemelhausen . It belongs to the Evangelical Church of Westphalia . It was built from 1901 to 1903 according to plans by the Bochum architect Heinrich Robert in the neo-Gothic style. The so-called Wiesbaden program , which provided for one-room churches centered on the altar, pulpit and organ, was decisive for the interior design .
The Petrikirche has been a listed building since 1989. The Evangelical Church Community Bochum-Wiemelhausen was created in 2011 by merging the Evangelical Melanchthon Church Community Bochum and the Evangelical Petrikirchengemeinde Bochum, which had already formed a community by 1965.
In 2011, a break occurred in the area of the church after a 2010 report by the Bochum study group had ordered the church to be closed due to the threat of break. The renovation costs were estimated at EUR 1 million in 2008 and have increased again due to the break in 2011.
