Facts and practical information

St. Martini is the second Roman Catholic church in the old town of Wesel, along with St. Mary's Assumption. It goes back to a branch of the Friars founded in 1436 on Ritterstraße with the patrocinium of St. Martin. After the destruction of the historic buildings during the Second World War, the present church was built on Martinistraße between 1947 and 1949. Since 2006, it has been part of the newly formed parish of St. Martini from the former parishes of the Assumption of Mary and St. Martini, and will be merged with the other parishes of St. Anthony and St. John to form the parish of St. Nicholas Wesel at Pentecost 2013.
