The Heilig Kreuz Church is a Roman Catholic church in Waren , a town in the Mecklenburg Lake District ( Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania ). It was built in 1928/1929 and is a listed building .
History and architecture
The first traditional Roman Catholic service after the Reformation in Waren was celebrated in 1898, and a first Catholic priest has been recorded since 1908. The number of the originally few Catholics gradually increased after the end of the First World War .
The spacious Catholic diaspora congregation with around 2,100 members has been looked after by Franciscans since 2004 . Affiliated are the subsidiary communities of the Holy Family in Malchow and Maria, Queen of Peace in Röbel / Müritz .
The church is a simple brick building , the foundation stone of which was laid in 1928 and which was consecrated on September 14, 1929. Polish reapers played a key role in the construction. The roof construction of the Zollinger lamellar roof with its bulging roof surfaces is reminiscent of a ship's hull lying at the top . The building is crowned on the east side with a small ridge turret in which a bell hangs. In 1969, three windows were redesigned on the west gable; the three entrance portals were made in 1979. The door leaves covered with embossed copper sheet show motifs from the Bible. The inverted shape of the ship can also be seen in the interior.
Furnishing
Remarkable is a modern, very massive crucifixion group made of teak . It is a work by Rudolf Brückner-Fuhlrott from Weißenfels. Brückner-Fuhlrott also created the windows above the gallery .
organ
The organ was built in 1967 by the Jehmlich Orgelbau Dresden company . The slider chest instrument has 18 stops on two manuals and a pedal and was restored in 1994. The playing and stop actions are mechanical.

Franciscan monastery
The first brothers of the Franciscan order, founded in 1210, came to Mecklenburg ( Schwerin ) in 1236 , until 1509 ( Güstrow ) a total of eight convents had been established in Mecklenburg and Western Pomerania, all of which perished as a result of the Reformation . The last to be dissolved in 1556 was the monastery in Greifswald .
It was not until 1998 that the Franciscans of the Saxon Franciscan Province (“ Saxonia ”) came to Mecklenburg again and founded a branch on Reitbahnweg in Neubrandenburg; a convent existed in the city from around 1260 to 1552 . In 2004 the Franciscan community moved to the rectory of the Holy Cross parish in Waren . It initially comprised three, today two brothers who are active in pastoral care in Waren, Malchow and Röbel as well as in prison pastoral care in the correctional facilities in Neubrandenburg , Neustrelitz and Bützow .
The provincial chapter of the German Franciscan Province , to which the branch has belonged since 2010, decided in March 2019 to give up the monastery in Waren as well as six other branches in the course of the concentration of the forces of the order province.
