    Architecture

    Baroque outside, Gothic inside

    The façade on Bonngasse has been preserved almost in its original state and unites four styles. In the blue and white painted vault, every arch bears a name.

    Services & Spirituality

    Interrupt
    everyday life.

    In the bustle of Bonn's city centre we offer spaces for stillness, community and new thoughts. Everyone is welcome to celebrate with us and to share the Eucharist.

    Most people have no idea what God could make of them if only they would put themselves at his disposal.
    Ignatius of Loyola

      Between the market square and the Beethoven House, a few steps from the pedestrian zone. Come in – to pray, to marvel or simply to rest.

      Name of Jesus Church Foundation

      Preserving the Name of Jesus Church

      Since 2012 a foundation has supported the church. Your donation helps to keep the space open, to make city ministry and the visitor service possible, and to preserve a listed building from 1717 for the generations to come.

      The only important thing in life is the traces of love we leave behind when we go.
      Albert Schweitzer
