About the Evangelische Kirche am Markt Katernberg

Notice: Due to road resurfacing, the A40 will be completely closed between the Wattenscheid-West and Essen-Zentrum junctions in the direction of Duisburg from 18 to 26 August. Diversions will be signposted. Visitors to the Ruhrtriennale 2025 should expect longer journey times and allow extra time for their journey.

 

The 19th century neo-romanic church, also known as the Bergmannsdom (cathedral of the miners), shapes the cityscape of Katernberg with its impressive architecture. Its light-filled vaulted ceilings offer exceptional acoustics for musical and theatrical performances.

In 2025, it will serve as a venue for the Ruhrtriennale for the first time. Reason enough to find out more about the church. Here are three things that make the Bergmannsdom so unique.
