history

It all started when the Order of the Sacred Heart Priests decided to found a new monastery with a mission school. The choice of location fell on Handrup by chance. In 1921 the foundation stone of the monastery was laid. However, it took some time for the church to be completed. In 1926 the construction of the church began. On April 7, 1927, this was consecrated by Archbishop Hermann Wilhelm Berning . On February 3rd of the war year 1940 the first ordination took place in Handrup by the Bishop of Osnabrück Archbishop Berning . In the Sacred Heart Church, members of the Sacred Heart Order were repeatedly ordained priests, most recently on May 3, 2014. The Sacred Heart Church was fundamentally renovated twice. The first major renovation took place in 1968. The resolutions of the Second Vatican Council were implemented here. The main altar and the side altars have been removed and the choir room has been completely redesigned. The most fundamental change was the separation of the chapel wreath by a transverse wall. A Pentecostal picture was attached to this wall as a choir picture. The second major renovation then took place in 2000. In this, the transverse wall erected in 1968 to the chapel wreath was removed again and the choir and the nave were redesigned. The choir picture was also incorporated into the newly designed baptism site. In 2002 the parish celebrated the 75th anniversary of the church with a big festival.

organ

In the church there is an organ made by Johannes Klais , Bonn, Opus 1012 from 1951 with 16 stops on two manuals and a pedal . The organ has a simple free pipe prospect with a larger pipe miter (principal 8 ') in the middle and a smaller one in front of it, which are left and right in two ascending rows of pipes to the large wooden pipes of the sub-bass 16', painted in different shades of gray, of which four each flank the prospectus to the left and right, rising outwards, continues. With regard to the number of registers, it should be noted that in the organ pedal the Gedacktbass 8 'is the continuation of the Subbass 16', Choralbass 4 'and Flute 2' are continuations of the principal bass 8 '. The five pedal registers are thus formed from just two rows of pipes. The simple design and the technical design still oriented towards the organ building of the Romantic era (electropneumatic cone chests , depth instead of height graduation of the individual works) are characteristic of the style of Catholic organ building in the post-war period; Influences of the organ movement or an orientation towards polyphony and literary play are not yet recognizable in terms of disposition , technical structure and intonation . Despite its age, aggressive warm air heating and at least partial anobia infestation, the instrument, built from modest materials (chipboard in the cladding, zinc pipes with inconsistent labia), is still functional. The game table has the typical rocker registers and ergonomically pleasant design for the building company.

Bells

In the tower of the church hangs a four-part chime from the Otto bell foundry from Hemelingen / Bremen. The strike tone series is: e ′ - g ′ - a ′ - h ′. The three larger bronze bells were cast in 1963, while the h'-bell dates from 1933 and survived the destruction of the bells in World War II. Other Otto bells for the parish and monastery church in Handrup, cast in 1932 and 1935, were melted down for war purposes.
