Inklusives Begegnungszentrum Alt St. Ulrich

In Frechen, the Inklusives Begegnungszentrum Alt St. Ulrich occupies a former parish church from the mid-eighteenth century. The listed monument now welcomes people with and without disabilities. Four rooms provide space for seminars, conferences, concerts, exhibitions, readings, and community gatherings. Modern presentation equipment supports events throughout the fully accessible building.

The former Catholic church later served the Protestant community before becoming a secular cultural venue. A supporting association organises the programme, while the Gold-Kraemer-Stiftung operates the centre. Its acoustics suit musical performances, and the basement seminar room opens onto a light courtyard. Weddings, seminars, and other gatherings can take place here.

Seven stained-glass windows by Georg Meistermann form the building’s most distinctive artistic feature. Created between the early 1940s and early 1960s, they depict Mary’s Assumption, Saint Ulrich, and other religious figures. A Willi Peter organ from Cologne stands on the western gallery. Its neobaroque sound combines with a piano for concerts and cultural events.
