Buildings

Here is a non-exhaustive list of the buildings that can be attributed to Emil von Manger:

image	construction time	Building	place	description
	1853-1854	St. Ludgerus Chapel	Herzebrock-Clarholz- Möhler	In 1847, the service in the Möhler Castle Chapel was in jeopardy because the dukes moved away from Croy. Therefore, the neo-Gothic chapel was built in front of the gates of the castle, of which the tower and the three bays of the nave are still preserved today. The choir was torn down in 1921 and replaced by a transept with a choir.
	1854-1857	St. Francis Hospital	Muenster	On May 11, 1854, the foundation stone was laid on the property of the Focke family. The construction was not yet financed when the foundation stone was laid , but was later secured with donations in kind and house collections. In 1856 shares were issued, so that construction was also completed. On October 3, 1857, the hospital was inaugurated as the Mauritz Franciscan Sisters' hospital.
	1856	Affhüppenkapelle	Warendorf- Vohren	Red brick chapel with sandstone framing
	1856-1858:	Church tower of St. Vitus	Oelde- Lette	By 1850 the tower was in poor condition. The chaplain Averdam suggested a new building, the pastor Hörster only wanted to have the spire renewed. Since a new tower also created space, Johann Georg Müller , Bishop of Münster, advocated a new building. This was built from 1856-1858 according to von Mangers plans in the neo-Romanesque style. The west portal was taken over from the previous building.
	1856-1858	St. Cornelius and Cyprian	Metelen	From 1856 to 1858 the monastery church was rebuilt according to plans by von Manger and a south aisle was added.
	1856-1859	St. George	Marl	Renovation of the church from the ground up, with the Romanesque foundation walls of the tower from the 12th century being preserved as the foundation.
	1856-1861	St. Bartholomew	Wellingholzhausen	The previous building from 1588 was demolished in 1855. The new building is a three-aisled hall church in neo-Gothic style with a western tower. Because of its striking size in the village, the church was given the nickname Grönenberger Dom . In fact, the church is likely to be one of Mangers' largest completed projects. Most of it has been preserved unchanged to this day.
	1857-1860	St. Lucia	Harsewinkel	The medieval church building was dilapidated and too small for the local community. The old building opposite the market square was torn down. When the church was demolished, the tower that was to be taken over from the previous building collapsed. Since the congregation lacked the money for a new tower, the church remained without a tower until 1904.
	1858	St. Antonius Abbot	Vreden -Ammeloe	Neo-Gothic hall church with a polygonal choir and a small chapel in the tower.
	1859-1861	St. Mauritz	Muenster	Von Manger replaced the nave with a three-aisled neo-Romanesque nave with a basilica cross-section.
	1859-1863	St. Peter	Lastrup	New building in neo-Gothic style.
	1860-1862	St. Servatius	Emsdetten- Hembergen	The foundation stone of the church was laid on August 16, 1860, after the previous medieval building had been demolished. The financing came from house collections as well as from collections in the districts of Minden, Arnsberg and in the Rhine Province .
	1860-1861	St. Margaretha	Ennigerloh- Ostenfelde	New building of the neo-Gothic hall church. Then the old church on Margarethenplatz was demolished.
	1861	Diocesan Museum	Asbeck	Cultivation
	1861	Residential building	Wellingholzhausen	In the immediate vicinity of the recently completed St. Bartholomew Church, Emil von Manger built a two-story house in the classicist style. The client was a local resident who had suddenly become wealthy by winning a lottery. The building was later converted into a hotel ( Hotel Möller ); today it is used as a private residence again.
	1861-1862	St. Cyriac	Bottrop	After the parish was assigned to the diocese of Münster , the parish grew rapidly, so that the church had to be rebuilt.
	1862-1863	St. Petronilla	Competition	In 1861 the Romanesque church from the 11th century was demolished and replaced by a three-aisled neo-Gothic hall church.
	1863-1869	St. John	Oelde	Von Manger had the church torn down down to the first two bays and in 1863 began the new construction of the church that still exists today. The west tower lacks a spire, which - probably for financial reasons - was omitted.
	1864-1865	St. Vitus	Oelde- Sünninghausen	New building as a hall building with a ribbed vault, which is covered by a gable roof. The choir in the east is lower and has a 5/8 end . To the west is a facade tower with a square floor plan and a helmet roof. A sacristy is built in the southeast. The church is built of red bricks and covered with natural slate.
	1866-1870	Chapel in the seminary	Muenster	The seminary, founded in 1776, had a chapel extension from 1866 to 1870 according to plans by von Manger.
	1873	Orangery in Rheda Castle	Rheda -Wiedenbrück	While a half-timbered house was used as an orangery as early as 1700, the brick building that is still preserved today was built on the same foundation in 1873.

Trivia

Von-Manger-Strasse in Oelde is named after the diocesan master builder.

The Von-Manger-Straße in Münster, however, was named after Georg von Manger (1789–1839). Georg von Manger was the head cadastral surveyor for real estate tax measurements in Münster, Mauritz and Wolbeck from 1821 to 1839. His special merit was the production of the city map from 1839 on a scale of 1: 5,000.
