Church of the Saviour
The Church of the Saviour is a Gothic church that was built in the 14th century on the site of an old Romanesque church. It is the most historically and architecturally important religious building in the town of Duisburg and, together with the Willibrordi Cathedral in Wesel, is one of the most significant late Gothic religious buildings in the Lower Rhine region. In the middle of the 19th century, it was extensively revised to its original late Gothic appearance. At the end of the Second World War, Allied bombing caused severe damage to the church, destroying part of the tower and almost the entire vault. Restoration was completed in 1960, but the tower spire remained unfinished.
