    The Church of St. Bonifatius was built between 1912 and 1914 according to plans by the architect Adolf Nöcker in the neo-Romanesque style. The first groundbreaking took place on September 2, 1912. Cologne Archbishop Felix von Hartmann consecrated the church on March 19, 1914. The total cost of building the church was 300,000 Reichsmarks. The church survived the two world wars largely undamaged.

    The three-aisled basilica has 500 bench seats and offers space for 1800 people. The nave, whose ceiling is supported by six round columns, ends with a large apse; the two aisles end in smaller apses.

    St. Bonifatius is considered Cologne's only Art Nouveau church.
