The St. Cyriakus Church is a Catholic church in the Ludwigshafen district of Ruchheim . It was built in 1772.

history

The first reliable documentary mention of Ruchheim was at the beginning of the 10th century. The church consecrated to St. Cyriakus is mentioned for the first time in 1307. It was probably founded by the Neuhausen Cyriakus Foundation and was in their possession. The church was described in 1494 in the Worms Synodale, a visit report of the parishes in the diocese of Worms . At that time the portal and the roof were defective. The people of Leiningen had the local rule of Ruchheim as a fief of the Lords of Hirschhorn . The Leininger turned to Lutheranism . After the Cyriakus pen was taken by the Electoral Palatinate , Elector Friedrich III continued in 1567 . a Reformed pastor in Ruchheim. When the Palatinate church was divided at the beginning of the 18th century, however, the St. Cyriakus Church was assigned to the Catholics.

The current church was built in 1772. The sacristy was added from 1962 to 1965. 1986–1988 a stylish restoration took place. Between 2000 and 2002 the organ was restored and the interior of the church was renovated. The St. Cyriakus Church has been a branch of the Christ-König-Kirche in Oggersheim since 1993 , and a parish community with the Assumption of Mary since 2010 . As part of the 2015 parish pastoral concept, from January 1, 2016, the parish of Christ König will become the parish of Christ König, the branch of St. Cyriakus will become the parish of St. Cyriakus and the parish of Maria Himmelfahrt will become the parish of Maria Himmelfahrt. These three parishes then form the new parish of St. Francis of Assisi.
