The Catholic parish church St. Pankratius is a listed church building in Dingden , a district of the city of Hamminkeln , in the North Rhine-Westphalian district of Wesel in Germany .

history

The Knights of Dingden built a stone Romanesque church on their main courtyard in the early 12th century , which replaced the first wooden chapel. This wooden chapel could have been built around the year 1000. As the village grew, so too did the chapel parish of Dingden. Dingden already existed as an independent parish before 1230. It was first called that in 1313.

The four-story west tower was built in the first quarter of the 13th century. It shows the characteristics of the Lower Rhine Romanesque. The nave was built in the 15th century. The church fell victim to war and fires several times. In order to offer space for all churchgoers, the parish expanded the church from 1823 to 1829 into a three-nave basilica.

By 1945 the church had defied the Second World War with some damage, but was destroyed by bombs on February 25, 1945. In 1950 the newly built parish church (a hall building) was inaugurated.

Since December 1, 2013, the church has been the parish church of the newly founded parish Maria Frieden Hamminkeln under its previous patronage .
