St. Dionysius in Essen-Borbeck is a three-aisled New Gothic basilica built in the years 1862-1867 by the architect Vincenz Statz (* 9. April 1819 in Köln; † 21. August 1898 in Köln).
The laying of the foundation stone took place on 8/7/1862 and the consecration by archbishop Paulus Melchers on 5/24/1867.
St. Dionysius is a monument since 1987.

The clock decorates the mighty bell tower of St. Dionysius.
There are two steel circles on which the golden numbers are mounted.
The hands of the clock are golden too.
