St. Maria Himmelfahrt is a Catholic church in the Gustorf district of the city of Grevenbroich in North Rhine-Westphalia .

The Catholic parish of Gustorf is one of the oldest parishes in the Archdiocese of Cologne. The parish church of St. Maria Himmelfahrt was an archbishop's own church. The parish church area comprised the later independent communities of Elfgen and Garzweiler. The church became known, among other things, for the " Gustorfer Choir Barriers ", three Romanesque relief panels that served as choir barriers and are now in the Rheinisches Landesmuseum Bonn. There is also evidence that the lintel of the first Gustorfer Church was dated 1130 and that this church was originally the Gustorferhof's own church, whose owner was patronage and tithe.

Church from 1872

In 1872, the old parish church was torn down and, according to plans by August Rincklake, replaced by a large, neo-Gothic new building, popularly known as the "Dom an der Erft". The financing of the new church building is largely thanks to donations from the Sinsteden siblings. The siblings Mechtildis , Josef and Johann-Adolf Sinsteden were born in the Gustorfer Mühle and also supported other new church buildings, such as B. St. Heribert in Deutz .

In August 2002 she was named “Church of the Month” in the Archdiocese of Cologne.
