Guided Story
You're standing before a remarkable building in the Neo-Gothic style, constructed between 1866 and 1868. This is the Matthäuskirche, a Protestant church and the first evangelical church built in the 19th century within the current city limits of Bochum. It belongs to the Bochum-Südwest parish and is part of the church district of Bochum under the Evangelical Church of Westphalia. Notice the delicate pointed arches and the soaring lines, so typical of Neo-Gothic architecture. Imagine how many generations have gathered here to observe their faith traditions. A piece of history still rooted in the community today.
