    The Heilig-Geist-Kirche was built in 1955-57 according to the plans of the architect Gottfried Böhm. He took over the project from his father Dominikus Böhm, who died during the planning phase. The architecture follows the Bible verse "For here we have no permanent city, but we seek the one that is to come." and symbolizes a tent for the travelers.

    This Catholic parish church was built in 1955-57 together with the youth center, the kindergarten and the sexton's house according to plans by the famous Cologne architect Gottfried Böhm. The architecture of the church is reminiscent of a tent made of hanging cloths and thus symbolizes the provisional and ephemeral that is particularly associated with mining towns such as Katernberg.

    Although the church was listed as a historic monument in 2019, its fate is unclear. It is no longer used by the Catholic parish, without a permanent other use being recognizable.
