history

Marienkirche Jöllenbeck around 1900 in the old architecture until the renovation in 1959

Jöllenbeck's first documentary mention can be found in a document from Bishop Bernhard von Paderborn as “Julinbike” from 1191. The lower parts of the tower of the old Marienkirche also belonged to this time. The old church was not far from the later new building in the area of ​​today's street "Auf dem Tie". In the middle of the 13th century, the original small chapel was replaced by a new nave, to which aisles were added during the 14th century due to the growth of the community. A long choir was added around 1500, which practically doubled the length of the previous church. The keystones of the vault were adorned with the Ravensberg and Paderborn coats of arms.

From 1535 the Ravensberg Landtag was regularly held in the Jöllenbeck Church. In the course of the implementation of the Reformation, galleries were built in 1577. The seating and the galleries were later expanded, but reached their limits at the beginning of the 19th century, when Jöllenbeck was caught up in the revival movement under Pastor Johann Heinrich Volkening . Attendance at church rose to around 1,300 in 1838, so it was decided to build a new church.

The new building was carried out from 1852 to 1854 according to plans by the Berlin Oberbaudeputation. It was the first new church in the Bielefeld area in around 350 years; until then the medieval churches from the pre-Reformation period had been used. The result was a simple hall with galleries and elements in a round arch style . For financial reasons, a tower was initially not built, and the bells continued to ring for services from the old church on the Tie. Finally, the porch was expanded to a tower, and with its completion in 1877, the decision was made to demolish the old church.

For the new church built under Pastor Volkening, there was initially no naming by the community. It was not until September 13, 1957 that the Jöllenbeck presbytery decided "to use the old historical name of the Jöllenbeck church again and to make it known to the community in a suitable manner."

From 1959 to 1961, the new church was completely renovated, in the course of which the exterior and above all the tower were redesigned. From 1998 to 2004 the interior was renovated and redesigned again.
