"The Evangelical Kreuzkirche (formerly: Hauptkirche) is the successor building to the Dionysiuskirche.

The establishment of the first Christian parish in Herne probably goes back to the 9th/10th century. century back. Saint Dionysius was the patron saint of the old Romanesque church, which was built around 1100 on the former Haranniplatz and demolished between 1873 (tower) and 1876 (nave). During excavations in 1933/34, traces of at least one previous building of this church were uncovered. After the Reformation, the church was the Lutheran parish church of the parish of Herne.

After the previous church of St. Dionysius became too small, today's Kreuzkirche was built in 1873-75 using material from the previous church.
