St. Paulus is a Catholic parish church in the Düsseltal district of Düsseldorf. The parish of St. Paulus belongs to the Flingern/Düsseltal parish association.
It was built in the neo-Romanesque style and rebuilt in a different form after the destruction of the Second World War.
The Church of St. Paul was built between 1910 and 1913 by the Düsseldorf architect Josef Kleesattel. It is designed as a five-aisled neo-Romanesque basilica and has a double tower facade. There is a Lady Chapel in a side aisle.
The church was largely destroyed in the Second World War. After the war, the double tower facade, which was still largely intact, was repaired. The nave, on the other hand, was redesigned by Hans Schwippert, incorporating the remaining remains.
In addition to the baptismal fountain from 1956, special sights include a Madonna statue from around 1300 and a Man of Sorrows from the 14th century, which were donated to the community.
The modern sacred furnishings come from Fritz Schwerdt and include, among other things: a red enamel tabernacle and six large altar candlesticks on the high altar, an eternal light stand also enamelled in red (now used as an Easter candlestick), a cross with rock crystals and an ivory body along with two seven-branched candlesticks for the crypt, as well as a small, enameled lecture cross with a wooden core and a tabernaculum for the holy oils in the Lady Chapel.
