Christus König Catholic Church
Hermann-Köhler-Straße 15
58553 Halver
Telephone: 02353/3730
The Christus König Catholic parish church on Hermann-Köhler-Straße was built in 1930. In the 1970s, the Catholic community redesigned the building. The church is characterized by its bright, friendly building and excellent acoustics, so that it is also used as a cultural and concert venue - 250 visitors can be seated here.
The Pfarrer-Neunzig-Haus parish hall - in memory of the Halver parish vicar Josef Neunzig, who was an enemy of the state in the eyes of the National Socialists and was therefore imprisoned in the Dachau concentration camp - also offers space for cultural events.
The Christus König church belongs to the parish of the same name. It covers an area of almost 240 square kilometers, making it one of the largest parishes in the diocese of Essen and includes the towns of Halver and Schalksmühle in the Märkischer Kreis district, the town of Breckerfeld, which belongs to the Ennepe-Ruhr district, and the southern foothills of the town of Hagen with the districts of Dahle, Priorei and Rummenohl. In total, the parish has around 8,000 Catholics (as of the beginning of 2017) among its more than 40,000 inhabitants. The parish includes three Catholic daycare centers, Catholic public libraries in each community - one of which is run in cooperation with the local community of Schalksmühle - and two scout troops in Hagen-Dahl and Halver. The area is also home to the Don Bosco youth education center and the diocesan center of the DPSG in the diocese of Essen.
The oldest church in the parish is the current parish church of St. Jakobus in Breckerfeld, which was built as a reformed church and has been used as a Catholic church since 1845. From here, the parishes of Christus König in Halver (since 1880/church 1930) and Herz Jesu in Rummenohl (church built until 1921, today used by the DPSG) were founded; within the parish of Rummenohl, the current parish church of Heilig Geist in Dahl and the parish of St. Thomas Morus Schalksmühle (with parts formerly belonging to Lüdenscheid) were founded, whose church was consecrated in 1956.
