history

Interior coating

The Holy Cross Church was built on Lüdinghauser Straße from 1936 to 1938 by the church builder Dominikus Böhm as the second Catholic parish church against much resistance in the city and by the then Bishop of Münster Clemens August Graf von Galen as the last new church in Germany before the Second World War inaugurated on November 16, 1938.

Dominikus Böhm received the order to build a parish church, which was to serve as a burial and pilgrimage church for Anna Katharina Emmerick, on October 4, 1936. The church was destroyed by a bomb on March 22, 1945, with the exception of the choir and tower. The building was rebuilt until 1953, the baptistery was not rebuilt. The entrance area has also been changed; instead of the previous five entrance doors, it has been reduced to three portals.

The church was extensively renovated from 1971 to 1974 and renovated and redesigned from 2004 to 2005 by the architects Feja and Kemper. During the redesign, the altar was moved to the center. Your outer walls are faced with Ibbenbüren sandstone .

The parish includes the Kreuzkapelle, the St. Michael chapel in Rödder and the Marienkapelle in Visbeck, as well as the Maria Königin church until the secession in 2008.

The bones of Anna Katharina Emmerick were reburied in the crypt of the church in 1975 after her beatification process was resumed from the neighboring cemetery, where she was buried in 1824. After the beatification in 2004, the grave was redesigned and the Anna Katharina Emmerick memorial was set up under the crypt. There you can visit, among other things, the hospital room, which was removed from the Limberg inn, which has since been demolished, in 1899 and has been preserved in its original state, including the furnishings.

In 2007 the architects Feja and Kemper received the “Good Buildings Award” (BDA Münster - Münsterland) in recognition of their work on the church.

Furnishing

altar

Particularly worth seeing is a rosette on the west side of the Holy Cross Church made of 11,800 colored lead-framed panes with a total diameter of nine meters made from Mayen basalt lava .

The altar stands on a wooden pedestal and consists of an altar plate made of Roman travertine, which is supported by 16 square oak posts, the 12 visible posts symbolizing the 12 apostles.

On the high choir there is an erected stand cross, which stands out from the bright room in its dark design. It stands (without body) for both a death and a resurrection cross. Angels playing music can be seen in three window slats, designed by Dominikus Böhm's son Gottfried in 1945.

A special feature is the light guidance of the church, which is held in the style of a Roman basilica, which leads visitors from the semi-darkness of the nave to a light-bright stepped mountain. The route was originally modeled on the Holy Way, starting with the holy water stoup to the step mountain with the cross, but added the model of the Holy Circle in 2005.
