St. Paulus Kirche is a German Evangelical Protestant church in the Over-the-Rhine historic district of Cincinnati, Ohio.

History

It is the oldest standing Protestant church in the city.[1]

Stabilization

In February 2011, the city of Cincinnati and 3CDC began work to stabilize the structure. According to the March 1, 2011 feature story in Soapbox Cincinnati, "Divine Inspiration: New Uses for Old Churches":

"Work on the church is proceeding from the outside utilizing multi-story cranes to peel the roof back to survey the damage and remediate the structural issues. Munitz estimates it will cost $600,000-750,000 to make it secure and safe - the city of Cincinnati is contributing $300,000 towards stabilization."[2]

Location

The church is located at the corner of 15th and Race Streets in Over-the-Rhine. It is one block from the headquarters of 3CDC which are located in Saengerhalle.
