St. Hubertus
This page is about one place: St. Hubertus, a spot in Düsseldorf with a story of its own. The story itself lives in the myTuur app, and it begins when you arrive and the app knows you are standing there.
St. Hubertus stands in Düsseldorf’s Itter district as a Romanesque basilica with origins around 1100. Its tower dates from about 1150 and still stands today.
Around 1170, builders reshaped the church into the Romanesque form that remains visible today. Its exterior then remained unchanged for almost seven centuries. In 1862, an expansion lengthened the nave, enlarged the chancel, and added a sacristy. The church reached its present size during that expansion.
After World War II, repairs followed changes to the nave’s stone vault and interior character. Restoration work began in 1956 inside the nave. Workers restored the nave to a basilica-style flat ceiling, added a baptismal chapel, and installed an organ gallery. A larger sacristy followed in 1970 at St. Hubertus.
The parish first appears in records from 1492 and originally covered Itter and Holthausen. It remains linked with the Düsseldorfer Rheinbogen pastoral unit. Weimbs Orgelbau built the organ installed from 1997 at St. Hubertus. It has mechanical manual action and electric pedal action.
