The church of St. Laurentius is located in the middle of the Luisenviertel on the edge of downtown Elberfeld, which many also refer to as the "Wuppertal Old Town". It forms an important architectural accent on Laurentiusplatz, which is one of the most beautiful and largest city squares in Wuppertal. It is the contact and meeting point for many people. The many street cafes, but also Friedrich-Ebert-Straße as a shopping mile, contribute to this. The square is also important for the Catholic Church. Many Catholic institutions, such as the Caritas Association, the Catholic Youth Welfare Office, the Social Service of Catholic Women in Elberfeld or the Catholic Educational Service are based here.
