St. Dionysius (Düsseldorf)

St. Dionysius Church

The Catholic parish church of St. Dionysius is in Düsseldorf-Volmerswerth . It was built from 1854 to 1855 according to plans by the architect Vincenz Statz , the bell tower by Friedrich Weise in 1865/66 .

St. Dionysius is a single - nave neo-Gothic brick church with a cruciform floor plan. It has a bell tower.

At the beginning of the 1960s, plans began to demolish the church in need of repair and replace it with a new building. After the building permit had already been obtained for the new building, however, it was decided to keep the church from the renowned master builder Statz and restored the church between 1979 and 1982. The church has been a listed building since 1985.

In 2006 the mass in the Tridentine Rite was moved from the profane St. Hedwig Church in Düsseldorf-Eller to St. Dionysius. This was entrusted to the Society of St. Peter , who celebrated the first mass in this extraordinary form of the Roman rite in the old Volmerswerth village church at Pentecost 2006.
