history

The development of the church building of St. Hubertus is in St. Hubertus Düsseldorf-ItterDescribed: Around 1100 an almost square small church was built. Half a century later, the still-preserved tower was added. As early as 1170, the church was rebuilt in the style that still exists today. The exterior architecture of the church, which is much smaller than it is today, then remained unchanged for almost seven centuries. It was not until 1862, after the Romanesque had experienced a renaissance, that St. Hubertus was enlarged to its present size by lengthening the naves, enlarging the chancel and adding a sacristy. In addition, the central nave was given a stone vault, so that the pure Romanesque style was retained, but the character of a basilica was lost until the damage caused by the Second World War was repaired. From 1956 the central nave was again given a flat ceiling typical of basilicas, a baptistery was added and an organ gallery was installed. In 1970 a larger sacristy was built.

The parish of St. Hubertus was first mentioned in a document in 1492 and included roughly the present-day Düsseldorf districts of Itter and Holthausen . It has been independent since then, but has been part of the pastoral care unit of Düsseldorfer Rheinbogen since 2008. In 1623 the divine costume took place for the first time . Since 2013 it has been carried out together with the neighboring parish of St. Nikolaus in Himmelgeist .
