The Church of St. Maria and Severus ("Severikirche") is a Gothic branch church of the city parish of the city parish church of St. Blasius in Fulda .
history
The church was built as a foundation of the citizen Erasmus Kämmerer in the years 1438 to 1445 as "New Church" in the Gothic style. In 1451 it became the guild chapel of the wool weavers, who venerated St. Severus of Ravenna as patron saint - at that time the largest guild of Fulda. It was renovated from 1616 and served from 1620 to 1623 as the first monastery church for the Franciscans (OFM) who were called to Fulda . The building served the Fulda Benedictines (OSB) as a church for a short time in 1626. After the Reformation , catholic services only took place in the church on Severiberg. From 1722 to 1882 it was the parish church of the garrison . Church services for the neighboring former teachers ' college have been held in Severikirche since 1836, and since 1896 Marienheim of the Vinzentinerinnen .
