history
The first church in Hamm was a Romanesque church that was built around 1200. In 1829 Adolph von Vagedes designed a new parish church, which was built from 1824 to 1825 under the direction of Anton Walger . It was a three-aisled classical church.
This church became too small at the beginning of the 20th century. From 1909 to 1911, today's church was finally built on the old foundations by Josef Kleesattel and consecrated on September 3, 1911. The side aisles were painted under the direction of Wilhelm Döringer . The consecration by Cardinal Archbishop Fischer took place on October 22, 1911 , in the presence of Lord Mayor Oehler , the architect Kleesattel, Count von Spee and others.
The church was badly damaged during World War II. Under the direction of the architects A. and W. Dickmann, it was restored to such an extent that the first services could take place in 1947.
The tower was restored later. The architect Dölken initiated a thorough restoration in 1974, which was completed in 1981.
