history
The medieval St. Jacobi Church in Rodenberg became Lutheran with the introduction of the Reformation in the county of Schaumburg . Individual Catholics did not settle in the region again until the 19th century. In church they belonged first to Rinteln , then to the mission congregation founded in Bad Nenndorf in 1896 .
As a result of the expulsion from the East after the Second World War, Silesian Catholics in particular came in large numbers to the north German diaspora as expellees . In 1950 the historic Ständehaus , the last remnant of the former Schaumburg residence Schloss Rodenberg , was converted into a Catholic church in Rodenberg . She was on the title on December 10, 1950 Assumption consecrated . The community was separated from Bad Nenndorf , initially as a curate .
After further growth of the community, the foundation stone of today's church was laid next to the Rodenberg cemetery on May 3, 1975; the consecration could be celebrated on December 6th of the same year.
From 2000, the parishes of Bad Nenndorf and Rodenberg formed a pastoral care unit . Since November 1, 2006, the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin has belonged to the parish of Mary of the Holy Rosary in Bad Nenndorf, the parish of Rodenberg was dissolved in this context.
Architecture and equipment
The architecture follows a design that was implemented in the Hildesheim diocese in the 1970s, often with minor deviations. The church was built using precast concrete . It is an area surrounded by low community rooms hall church with a high, inside open, worn concrete struts gable roof . A narrow aisle is added to the left (west) side. The altar wall is flat, the opposite gable is traversed by three vertical window strips. The tower is a free-standing, four-storey, open concrete stand, in the uppermost segment of which the bell housing with the bells is located.
The furnishings include modern statues and fourteen expressive pictures of the Stations of the Cross. The stained glass windows are mostly white and blue. In the altar area, co-designed by Josef Hauke from Lauenau (1921–2009), the gaze falls on the large aureole composed of bricks , in front of which a figure of the risen Christ hovers.
The organ is a work by the Hillebrand company .
