St. Antonius is a Roman Catholic church in Düsseldorf-Hassels, shaped by the New Objectivity of the 1920s. Its unplastered red-brick façade follows strict axial symmetry, with geometric portals and a rosette above them.

A chapel stood here in the 1660s, followed by a temporary church in 1918 and Hermann Schagen’s building in 1927. A roof turret replaced the planned portal tower and carries two bells, including a bronze bell from 1928. Inside, a vaulted ceiling and gently curved window tops suggest Baroque side aisles. Wilhelm Schmitz-Steinkrüger created the principal windows in 1939, and their eight designs combine Christian traditions with Old Testament symbolism. Seven reflect the O Antiphons, while the eighth honours Mary.

The narrower choir windows date from 1963 and interpret Manna in the Desert through abstract forms. A 1990 organ, expanded in 2007, offers twenty-seven registers across three manuals and a pedal.
