Old church building from before the Second World War since 1872, the old catholic community has been located in the heart of Cologne and currently offers nearly 600 old catholics home in a completely new church building . Old Catholic Church
In
short: The official name of the church in Germany is "Catholic Bishopric of Old
Catholics in Germany". The spelling with hyphen is therefore part of the
self-designation in Germany, while the official name of the two other
German-speaking churches is "Christian Church of Switzerland" or "Old Catholic
Church of Austria". History of the municipality of Cologne January / February 1872 Founding of the Catholic Parish of the Old Catholics in Cologne as an emergency group of the Cologne Catholics excommunicated for their resistance to the new dogmas of the infallibility (infallibility) and ecclesiastical dominion of the pope (jurisdiction). First use of the St. Pantaleon's church, later the town hall chapel for sole use. Franz Clouth was a member of the church community. He donated, privately or over the company is unknown, the lead glasses of the Rosettenfenster of the later resurrection church. The Old Catholicism In 1869 Pope Pius IX convened a "general" church meeting in the Vatican. It is true that the Pope only ruled in the Roman Catholic Church, but he regarded it just as the "general" church and its special assemblies for equal importance in word and dignity to the great church assembly of Christian antiquity Later sense. Simultaneously with the convocation of the Vatican Council, the rumor spread that the doctrines of the episcopal omnipotence and the infallibility of the pope for divinely revealed beliefs were to be explained. These teachings show that the Roman pope possesses the full abundance of the highest, orderly and immediate, truly episcopal power, not only in matters of faith and morals, but also in matters of discipline and government over the whole world, in other words That he was the only true bishop of the Catholic Church, and that all the bishops were only his deputy; And further: that a decision made by the Pope concerning a doctrine of faith and morality should be infallible, infallible, and in itself, not only by the consent of the Church. These views were not entirely new in the Catholic Church, inasmuch as similar claims were raised from the papal side in the Middle Ages, and in modern times the Jesuits in particular endeavored to spread them; Even at the church assembly in Trent (1545-1563), which had a large settlement with the Reformation, had tried in vain to bring them to recognition. In the meantime, this church church recognition had not yet been achieved; It should now be done. Like a man, all the free and German-thinking and feeling Catholics rose against this intention, for with these beliefs their whole ecclesiastical existence was questioned. Even if a full, clear knowledge was often lacking at the outset, there was generally a more or less clear feeling that these sentences had brought a whole peculiar system of views to the conclusion, and with its recognition to victory Centuries had been the struggle of all the free and peoples in Catholicism. The history of the Western Church has always had a profound inner contrast: for the first time, pioneers for simple, pure, inner Christianity have faced the partisans of the Roman chair with their external church and their political hopes and aspirations. The free and ethnic Catholics had long been no longer accustomed to the peace of their church by the conduct of the Ultramontans (as we would call them today). Ultramontanism was a political attitude of Catholicism, especially in the German-speaking countries, including the Netherlands , Based on instructions from the papal curia, that is, from the Vatican, which was seen from there on the other side of the mountains (Latin ultramontes - the Alps), and the term was also used in France and Belgium In a more general form, a frontship against liberalism arising in church and religion, and in the political disputes within French Catholicism in the nineteenth century as a counter-model to Gallicanism.), The Jesuits and their intellectuals were affected. Now their impulses for the only right and their views were to be declared decisive, and thus all the truly religious minds in the church of the soil, the right to existence, were to be withdrawn. Thus it is comprehensible that all the religious forces that were alive in the Catholic Church had gathered in the struggle against the Vatican endeavors, even if there had been no relations between them before. The whole wide public turned their attention to this struggle, for at that time the Catholics were still active in all political camps, and took part in all general endeavors in scientific, artistic, and social fields; It was not as it was today, for Ultramontanism had not yet held its triumph, drawing its path with denominational parties, universities, associations, trade unions, bathing beaches, and dancing. All the efforts of bishops and theologians from different countries to defend their doom were unsuccessful: on the 18th of July, 1870, the new beliefs were proclaimed as "divine revelation"; 533 members of the church assembly agreed. But they did not represent any part of the church; Because they were only Titular Bishops or the like, 77 represented the Church in the most recently-conquered continents of America and Australia, many other areas of mission, and could not, as the meaning of a vote at a church assembly, And another figure represented very small dioceses. 250 had previously not, however, declared themselves against it; 35 million believers and just the old parts of the Church were represented, while 25 million believers were still in the process of being represented. More than half of all Catholics were thus uninvolved in the proclamation of these teachings. The German bishops had for the most part endeavored to prevent the proclamation of the faiths; But once the proclamation had taken place, they soon brought their conscience to rest, and now demanded their priests and faithful to accept and acknowledge these beliefs, but from meetings, books, pamphlets and newspapers they sounded 1000 times "no". Of course, there could be no question of a unified movement, which was not the contradiction of a particular ecclesiastical tendency or party, but rather the rebellion of the whole true Catholicism; There were so-called "old-Catholic associations" in Baden, who had endeavored to cultivate German consciousness in Catholicism since the days of the Syllabus, as well as "Catholic associations for the defense of the villian innovations" which had arisen in the emergency of the moment; The luminaries of science stood with their pupils and followers, and alongside them the heroic peasant chaplain, Thomas Braun, who had fought almost against a world for the old Catholic truth since the proclamation of the Immaculate Conception of Mary, and under pathetic police attacks in Lower Bavaria Had suffered. At one stroke, however, the movement had a focal point, as the respected Catholic scholar of God of those days, the Stiftspropst and university professor Dr. Ignatz von Döllinger, in Munich, declared that he could not accept the new doctrines "as a Christian, as a theologian, as a historian, as a citizen" and was able to stand courageously and firmly in this attitude, even when he finally had to go beyond the Church. Thousands of letters of approval and explanations streamed; The university teachers had become the leaders. They collected fellow-men; In repeated discussions here and there they had gained touch; Munich, Bonn and Breslau were their headquarters. The clearest among them was the Prague Church Law Teacher Dr. Johannes Friedrich of Schulte.
In September
1871, the first Old Catholics' Congress met in Munich. In the meantime, all the
leaders had fallen into the hands of the church, the faithful threatened the
same fate as soon as they became aware of their conviction. The hesitant wished
to endure it, and to keep it all at the repeated appeal; It was with others,
especially from Schulte, who decided to take self-help and to collect their own
congregations, that the break with the Roman Church, founded on 18 July 1870,
had been completed and a new home was created for the old Catholic Church. The
Old Catholic Church, on the other hand, separated itself externally from the
Roman, on the eighteenth of July, 1870, with the dogmatic explanation of the
episcopal omnipotence and the doctrinal infallibility of the Pope, the return to
the ground of the old ecclesiastical Catholic doctrine Made it impossible for
ever, had left the wide circle in her before. At the same time, things developed in Switzerland and Austria.A church community, of course, needs a church, so it was in Cologne. It was necessary here, because there were few funds available to find financially strong community members who would participate in church building. Franz Clouth did so with the leaded glazing, in which we financed them. This type of financing allowed the planned construction to be compiled relatively quickly according to the model developed. At the same time, however, the financiers in the strictly Catholic faithful of Cologne came to the back of the city, for businessmen who at any rate were active in the region, a dubious venture, but less harmful to businessmen like Franz Clouth. This will have been different in private life, where parts of the family, kinship, neighborhood, population will have been kept back as far as possible.Building the building was not a hindrance, as you can see.
The Second World War brought with it considerable damage, since the church was located directly on the railway line, which had several routes, thus enabling military transports, so that this area was primarily considered for the bomb dropping. The church's main building was completely destroyed, only the Campanile, the tower, remained, and this functioned until now.

The new Building The Parish Church of the Resurrection of Christ in Cologne belongs to the Dean's Office North-Rhine Westphalia of the Old Catholic Church in Germany. The congregation has about 600 members. It was founded in 1872. First church The church first used as a church the former Cologne Council Chaplain St. Maria in Jerusalem, which the council had used until the time of the French. As this was not sufficient for the large community, a new building was soon planned. Former "Auferstehungskirche" The construction of the Resurrection Church in Jülich Street, corner Moltkestraße, in the southern Neustadt from May 1906 to October 1907, consecration on 17 November 1907, resulted in the largest independent church building of the Old Catholics in Germany. Architect for church, vicarage and community center was the Cologne Peter right. The church fit in the architecture and location in the round of large sacred buildings around the Cologne rings. From Barbarossaplatz the Roonstraße was a direct view on the imposing church tower placed on the left to the church ship. The two-year-old church, with its broad cross-section, was equipped with two large window-grommets, decorated by Franz Clouth, in the gables of the cross and central nave. The choir bordered directly with the houses in the line of the Moltkestraße and was marked by two smaller towers with pyramidal helmets. Aar Destruction
In 1944, towards the end of the Second World War, the church was completely destroyed in two bomb attacks down to the tower. In the post-war period, the municipality was set up in a simple emergency church on the site built by Bonn architect Helmut Kröger from 1953 to 1992. The tower could be thoroughly renovated in the years 1989/90. However, for a complete reconstruction, the municipality lacked the necessary funds. New Building Thus, the attractive corner plot Jülich / Moltke Street was sold and used to build an office building. The monument authorities, however, demanded that the building should show the original outline of the church. This seems to have been achieved within the framework of the joint planning between Leverkusen architect Klaus Pässler and the professor Frantisek Sedlacek, whom he had planned. The cracked steel frame of the mirror-glazed new building with a sacral room on the ground floor (on the grounds of the former parish garden), apartments and offices on the upper floors, designed and built in 1991 to 1993 by Professor Frantisek Sedlacek (FH-Cologne) [1] Scale 1: 1) to the original silhouette of the late-historic church building. In addition to the adjacent reconstructed parish and community house, the parish council uses a smaller area of the complex under a glass pyramid as a church for its services, which was re-ordinated on May 22, Literature/Sources
Today the parishioner of the priest Jürgen Wenge is led by Wolfgang Kestermann.
