The Nikolai Church is located in Bielefeld's old town. It is the oldest church in the original city area. It is not known exactly when the present building was erected. The parish was founded in the first half of the 13th century, but the present church was probably not built until the 14th century. Like many other buildings, the church was badly damaged during the Second World War. All that was left of the tower was a stump. Today's tower dome was built at the beginning of the 1960s entirely in the style of the time.
From the 'Johannisberg', a hill of the Teutoburg Forest, south of the city centre, there is a beautiful view of the church tower. Especially early in the morning.
