Guided Story

Here you are, in front of the former Catholic Church of St. Konrad, located in the southern part of Herne. This church was once a key part of the Herne-Süd pastoral community. As the parish church for the St. Dionysius community, it played a significant role until its closure in 2024. Notice the simple yet striking facade that characterizes the church. Its secularization by Auxiliary Bishop Josef Holtkotte on November 2, 2024, marked the end of its religious function. However, there are plans to repurpose the building for children's and youth activities, giving it a potential new lease on life. Behind you, a short distance away, is the Gysenberg Animal Park, in case you're up for more exploring.
