A hush falls over the group as we stand before Zu den heiligen Engeln. Can you feel the weight of history, the echoes of prayers whispered within these walls? Zu den heiligen Engeln, “To the Holy Angels.” A name both beautiful and poignant, especially now. This unassuming church, nestled on Buchheimer Weg, has borne witness to the ebb and flow of life in Cologne for over a century. But a change is coming. A bittersweet transformation. The year 2023 marks a turning point for Zu den heiligen Engeln. Plans are underway for its ‘profanierung,’ a deconsecration that paves the way for its conversion into senior housing. While the church’s physical presence might change, its spirit, its stories, those remain woven into the very fabric of this community.
