St. Ursula (Düsseldorf-Grafenberg)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
St. Ursula Church

The Catholic parish church of St. Ursula in Düsseldorf-Grafenberg was originally built by Josef Kleesattel in the neo-Romanesque style. After the almost complete destruction, a more modern church building was added to the tower that had remained standing, but still citing the old model.

history

The tower still comes from the original church that Josef Kleesattel built in 1912. Like most of the Kleesattel churches, it is built in the neo-Romanesque style, but it is plastered. The painting of the tower and the entire current church is kept in a muted shade of yellow, the framed inner surfaces in the upper floors of the tower and the arcade-like angular portico columns in front of the portal from the nave roof are kept white.

The church building, like its old model, has three aisles with a longitudinal and transept and an apse. It was designed by Wolfram Borgard and Fritz Volmer in 1953. The architects oriented themselves largely on the neo-Romanesque predecessor building. However, the side areas are no longer completely symmetrical, the choir is laid out in a parabolic shape.

The church building has a gable roof, the interior is closed off by a flat wooden ceiling. The upper garden windows are abstract. In the apse, the windows are in a continuous gallery in the area directly below the ceiling and form a closed band. On the other hand, there is a large round window above the portal, as is usual for the late Romanesque and neo-Romanesque styles.

organ
