Tracing the Roots of a Young Church with a Deep History
The Church of the Name of Jesus has been the cathedral church of the Old Catholic Diocese in Germany since 2012 and continues to shape religious life in Bonn to this day. The building has a long history of use and symbolizes the independent path of the Old Catholics, who connect tradition with openness and scholarly dialogue.

Spirituality, Liturgy, and Community in Bonn's Center
The focus is not only on the architecture but also on the spiritual experience: prayer, liturgy, organ music, and quiet perception of the church space. The Church of the Name of Jesus invites people as a city church to reconnect faith, history, and the present. Especially for those interested in religious culture and community development, the walk offers an impressive entry into the Old Catholic profile.
