St. Gangolf (Bonn)
St. Gangolf was a Romanesque parish church in Bonn . It was located immediately west of Bonn Minster .
history
St. Gangolf was founded by Archbishop Philipp von Heinsberg around 1170. In the liber valoris around 1300 it was named as one of four parish churches in Bonn. Philipp probably chose the patronage of St. Gangolf to commemorate the Gangolf monastery founded by his grandmother in 1128/29 in Heinsberg .
The St. Gangolf Church in Bonn was incorporated into the Cassius monastery. Like a number of parish churches in the Bonn area, which belonged to the Cassius monastery and the Vilich monastery , it had a choir tower in the east with the choir yoke in the basement and an adjoining small semicircular apse. In the course of secularization , the parish was abolished in 1804 and the church was laid down in 1807. The bells were divided. A bell reached the collegiate church in Bonn . The foundations of St. Gangolf were partially uncovered and documented when the goose fountain was built. Gangolfstrasse and the Gangolfsaal in Münster-Carré remind us of the church today.
