St. Maximilian Church

St. Carlstadt's Düsseldorf district, often called the Maxkirche today. Maximilian Catholic Church is a late Baroque church that emerged from a defunct Franciscan monastery in 1804. The monastery, whose living and study rooms are located in the neighboring Maxhaus, was founded in the 17th century and its present church was built in the 18th century. The bronze eagle lectern from 1449 was originally created for Altenberg Cathedral. The choir stalls come from the previous 17th century church. The 14 oil paintings on the side walls form a Way of the Cross and belong to Heinrich Nüttgens, the church painter from Nazareth, who created them in 1903. The adjoining former monastery building "Maxhaus, Katholisches Stadthaus" now has a restaurant, among other things.
