Heilig Kreuz in Detmold is the parish church of the Catholic parish of the same name in the Detmold Pastoral Association , which belongs to the Bielefeld-Lippe deanery of the Archdiocese of Paderborn .
history
The Catholic parish in Detmold has been using the parish church of St. Bonifatius since 1852 . After the number of members increased, it was decided in 1917 to build a new church building that would also serve as a garrison church . The military administration, the Bonifatius Association and the parishioners were involved in the financing . In 1937 the building application for a cross-shaped church designed by Josef Lucas was submitted, but was not carried out for financial reasons.
When the congregation continued to grow due to the influx of refugees after the Second World War , the dean Augustinus Reineke developed the idea of a double church with two altars . The larger part was intended to serve as a Sunday church for Sunday services and contain a free-standing folk altar , the smaller part as a weekday church for weekday services and private devotions .
Based on these ideas, Josef Lucas and Hermann Gehrig developed the final design with the church building, rectory and parish hall . The foundation stone was laid on May 3, 1950, and the church was consecrated on March 18, 1951 . It was named Holy Cross .
In 2009 the church building and some of the furnishings were placed under monument protection.

The church was built in the form of a three-aisled basilica with a tower bar made of pumice from the Neuwied basin on a concrete skeleton . Windows and sound holes are rounded . A transept separates the Sunday Church in the northeast from the weekday church in the southwest. The portal is located in the tower bar. To the west is the sacristy with side rooms, to the east the community center.
Furnishing
The oldest art objects are a wooden crescent moon Madonna , which was made around 1520 and given to the community around 1925, as well as an embroidered antependium from around 1480 depicting the Annunciation , which came from the Herzebrock monastery and came to Detmold in 1892.
The majority of the interior decoration comes from the time the church was built. These include the celebration altar , which, like the baptismal font created by Karl Ehlers , is made of sandstone , as well as the hanging cross above the altar made by Elisabeth Treskow (all from 1951). The stained glass of the windows in the southwest wall of the weekday church is also from 1951 . The round window in the tower bar was designed by Ludwig Becker in 1954 , the windows in the side aisles by Hubert Spierling in 1955 .
In the second half of the 19th century, wooden figures of Mary and John were made, which come from the high altar of the old parish church of St. Boniface and now form a crucifixion group in the north-western corner of the church with a wooden crucifix from 1960 . There is also a way of the cross in the form of a mosaic and a wall mosaic with the resurrection of Jesus Christ , which were created by Albert Reinker . Another mosaic of Christ crucified is in the adjoining parish hall.
After the Sacrosanctum Concilium (1963), the altar by Elisabeth Treskow originally in the weekday church was replaced by a portable altar, which, like the tabernacle and ambo, was made by Hermann Kunkler .
In the tower bar there are three cast steel bells that were cast by the Bochumer Verein in 1950 and 1951 . They are consecrated to Boniface (after the old patronage ), Maria (after the Marienanger monastery of the Augustinians, which existed in Detmold from 1453–1602 ) and Vitus ( Detmold's patron saint until the Reformation ).
organ

Since the 1950s, the Sunday Church and the weekday church were each provided with a Breil - Organ equipped. In 2010 the organ of the Sunday Church was replaced by a new concert organ, which was built by the organ builder Karl Schuke (Berlin) and is also used by the Detmold University of Music . The organ has 62 registers (approx. 4,000 pipes ) on three manuals and a pedal . The positive (II. Manual) is swellable . The disposition is largely based on the sound ideals of German and French Romanticism , but enables a wide range of organ literature to be presented - from baroque and pre-baroque to contemporary organ music. The instrument is equipped with some rare structural features, including: a. a mixer for all works and a pizzicato coupling main work / pedal.
