St. Andreas Church (Bergisch Born)
The St. Andreas Church is a Catholic church in Bergisch Born , a district of Remscheid in North Rhine-Westphalia .
history
The small church, built according to plans by the architect Johannes Schreuß, was inaugurated in the Holy Year 1925. Like the Remscheid St. Josef Church three years later, Sankt Andreas was built in the "New Objectivity" style.
This simple design was very popular in the 1920s. Inside, the church windows made of lead antique glass, realized in 1955, are worth seeing. The Essen artist Wilhelm de Graaff created striking figures of the apostles in a richly colored touch. From a distance, the small tower looks like a roof turret. It houses a bell of the privately donated Catholic chapel "Maria zur Mühlen", which stood in the town of Kräwinklerbrücke. It was torn down; today the water masses of the Wuppertalsperre pour over it. With the "mother church" St. Bonaventura in Remscheid-Lennep and the Holy Cross Church in Remscheid-Lüttringhausen, St. Andreas has been part of the merged large parish "St. Bonaventure and the Holy Cross ”.
