The Columbarium Hl. Herz Jesu in the Hanoverian district Misburg-Süd is an urn burial site as well as a prayer and worship room sponsored by the Catholic parish of St. Martin , Hanover-East.

Columbarium

The columbarium was inaugurated on February 20, 2010 by Bishop Norbert Trelle . It is the first institution of its kind in a church in northern Germany.

The Misburger Herz-Jesu -Kirche was built in 1904/05 as a parish church for the Catholics who moved in as a result of the industrial settlement. She is a basilica in Gothicising Homeland Security style of the early 20th century, designed by the architect Maximilian Jagielski and Georg Thofehrn , Hannover, and was on October 8, 1905 by the Berlin Military Bishop Heinrich Vollmar ordained . The re-consecration after the destruction in the air raids on Hanover and the reconstruction took place on July 18, 1948 by Vicar General Wilhelm Offenstein . In the following six decades the interior of the church was redesigned and modernized several times.

In the course of the current reduction and concentration process in the diocese of Hildesheim , it was decided to convert the church into a columbarium and center for mourning and commemoration of the dead . The draft for a room concept developed by Christoph Palmen and Arne Kesten was realized by Thomas Rauck . It ties in with the biblical image of the ladder to heaven . Initially, showcases for 1,500 urns are planned. The pews that were no longer needed found a new use in the Maria Königin church in Seesen .
