The first Catholic church in Ahaus was built in the 14th century. The single-nave building was destroyed in a fire in 1400. Then a three-aisled church was built, completed with the 68 m high tower that has been preserved to this day and was built between 1498 and 1519.

After the Gothic nave was destroyed in a town fire in 1863, the church was rebuilt within the preserved outer walls as a three-aisled, four-bay neo-Gothic brick hall church with a two-bay, just closed choir [1] and completed in 1865. The Gothic tower made of sandstone was increased by one storey (consistently also made of sandstone) according to plans by Hilger Hertel, and the burnt baroque helmet was replaced by a (new) Gothic top. In 1896 a third aisle was added to this building.

In view of structural defects, the stability of the nave was no longer given at the beginning of the 1960s. In 1963 it was decided to demolish and rebuild. In 1965 the nave was demolished and the foundation stone was laid for the new building, which was built according to plans by the architect Erwin Schiffer from Cologne and consecrated in 1966. The windows were designed by Georg Meistermann. [2]

The light, rectangular concrete building is characterized by lamellar facades on all sides with colored glazing.

The interior has a special atmosphere and interesting light effects due to the modern construction and the partly beautifully designed windows. One is reminded a little of the Eiermann Building in Berlin.

You can like it, but you don't have to. For me the distance is far too great and the ship is a foreign body for me personally.
