The Church of the Redeemer in Wuppertal-Barmen was built in 1913–1914 according to plans by Wilhelm Werdelmann in the Heimatstil style. It initially served the Evangelical Lutheran parish of Wichlinghausen and is now part of the Evangelical Parish of Wichlinghausen-Nächstebreck. The building is characterized by its massive, slate-covered tower, mansard roofs, and a barrel-vaulted sanctuary with a seating capacity of 1,200. The church has undergone several renovations, including one following an arson attack in 2016. The worship hall was renovated in 2017, while the parish rooms in the basement remained unusable until 2020.

The massive, multi-storey, west-facing building in the so-called Heimatstil contained, in addition to the church, various community rooms and a sexton on the ground floor, above which the worship room is located. Before the district synod in 1914, Superintendent Bausch reported that the combination of the construction method was “a connection between church and parish hall, as it may be more likely to follow in the big cities in the future.” The renovations of several Wuppertal churches after the Second World War (for example New Church and Christ Church in Elberfeld) have confirmed this assumption.

On the outside, the slate-roofed building with high mansard roofs gives the impression of a complex on the plan of a Latin cross with a crossing tower; However, the tower and side wings are additions without connection to the interior for different purposes. From the outside, the plastered building is monumental and yet very simple for its time; the interior of the church with 1,200 seats was barrel-vaulted and surrounded by pillarless galleries on three sides. The central structure of the pulpit and altar under the organ loft could be separated from the rest of the church by a curtain, and the originally loose seating made it possible to use the church space in a variety of ways. After minor war damage, the variable use concept of the room was restricted in 1954 with the installation of pews, which was withdrawn during a renewed renovation in 1988.

Elaborately renovated and versatile church that has remained in the community.
