St. Barbara (Honkenbergstraße)

Standing here, you're facing what was once St. Barbara Church in Herne-Horsthausen-Elpeshof, a central place for the Catholic St. Dionysius community. Imagine the countless gatherings that took place here over the years. On November 2, 2024, Auxiliary Bishop Josef Holtkotte led the solemn deconsecration, marking an important transition for this site. As you look around, you'll notice the deconstruction in progress, signaling a new chapter for the building. Though the physical structure may soon be gone, the memories of its role within the community linger.
