history
The emergence of the community and the emergency church
As a result of industrialization, especially with the start of coal production at the mine Christian Levin , told the former peasantry Dellwig that the mayor Borbeck belonged to an exceptionally strong population growth. The Catholic mining families went to the parish church to which Dellwig belonged on Sundays: St. Dionysius in Borbeck . The new building erected in 1862 and 1863 was twice the size of the old St. Dionysius Church. Nevertheless, the new Church of St. Dionysius could not accommodate all the worshipers. To relieve the burden, a church building association was founded for Dellwig in 1889 and an emergency church was built in 1901. In 1902 it became the seat of a rectorate .
The parish church of St. Michael
After the Archbishop of Cologne elevated the rectorate community to an independent parish, the Church of St. Michael was built between 1909 and 1911 according to plans by the architect Franz Vogt in the neo-Gothic style. The consecration took place on June 29, 1911, the consecration followed on July 27, 1912.
The church was severely damaged during the Second World War and rebuilt by 1955.
The church has been a listed building since 1990 . In 2006 the parish of St. Michael was reintegrated into the mother parish of St. Dionysius.
