A towering bell tower stands before you, its golden onion dome reaching towards the sky. This imposing structure is the Maria-Obhut-Kirche, a hidden jewel of Dusseldorf. The church was built in 1883 by Father Stullenberg as a monastery called ‘The Poor Servants of Jesus Christ’. The building stands in the heart of Dusseldorf in the Ellerstraße.

It’s impressive to think that the Maria-Obhut-Kirche is still standing today, after a fire destroyed the adjacent building in 1997. The church was originally built as a monastery for a group of women who dedicated their lives to serving the poor and sick. At that time, the church was part of the Orthodox Church of Russia.

This landmark is a testament to the centuries-old tradition of Orthodox Christianity in Dusseldorf. The church was a central meeting point for a diverse congregation, including Germans, Russians, and individuals from the former Soviet republics.

Today, the church continues to be a place of worship and spiritual guidance. Each week, you can attend a service in both Russian and German languages. Look around, take in the details, and let the spirit of the building wash over you.
