The Holy Cross Church in Remscheid-Lüttringhausen was built from 1925 to 1927. This church was originally supposed to be built on Kreuzbergstrasse. There was a large wooden cross in the old days, to which the believers made a pilgrimage from the Bergisches Land. The Lenneper Pastor Schoenen bought this property in 1902. However, the Mayor of Lüttringhaus found the location more suitable for the new town hall. He therefore exchanged the property with the Catholic clergy in 1907. Catholics had not existed in the city for a long time, because after the Reformation, the citizens were exceptionally transferred to Lutheranism.
