Neanderkirche

When the counter reformation began in Düsseldorf, activities of the reformed Protestant church were still tolerated for a while. A Predigthaus (preaching house) was built on the property of the later church in 1610, but had to be closed in 1614 when the tolerance ended. Protestant Christians were permitted to build churches again only in the second half of the 17th century. The Neanderkirche was built from 1683 to 1687. The church was already inaugurated in 1684. It was named after Joachim Neander in 1916. The Neanderkirche is a hall church of the early Baroque.  It is now the church of the parish Evangelische Kirchengemeinde Düsseldorf-Mitte.
