The Church of St. Mary, Bonn
The Church of St. Mary is located in the northern part of Bonn, near the city center. The plans for the construction of the church belong to Joseph Prill, a high school religion teacher in Bonn. The plans provided for a large Neo-Gothic style basilica with five-sided final chorus, two aisles and a high steeple. The foundation stone was laid on August 14, 1887 and on November 7, 1892, the Archbishop Anthony Cardinal Fischer assisted on the solemn consecration of the church. The church of St. Mary received the title of the Immaculate Conception of Mary and All Saints.
