On the Trails of the Old Catholic Movement in Bonn

This guided tour offers a faith experience between church history, community identity, and lived spirituality. In Bonn, the Old Catholic movement can be experienced at a place that has stood for worship, conversation, and church renewal for generations.

Old Catholic theology made understandable and approachable

The Old Catholic Church is guided by the Bible, church tradition, and a synodally shaped community structure. In Bonn, the seat of the diocese and bishop's church, this theological line takes on a concrete form: open, episcopal-synodal, ecumenical, and rooted in pastoral care.

Community, conversation, and encounter

The focus is not only on remembering but also on togetherness. Such paths create space for exchange, for questions about church development, and for new approaches to spirituality. This makes the tour open and inviting even for those interested without prior knowledge.
