About the Evangelische Kirche am Markt Katernberg

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.
