history

The first plans for a Catholic church in Kleefeld emerged parallel to the growth of the district after the First World War . They became more specific when Franciscans from the Thuringian order province agreed in 1926 to set up a branch here and take over pastoral care. The monastery was built at the same time as the church and both were placed under the patronage of the great Franciscan Antonius of Padua .

The Franciscans built on the former Minorite monastery and thus on a tradition that began in 1292 when the first Franciscan monastery in Hanover was built on the site of today's Leineschloss (closed in 1533).

In August 1946, expelled brothers from the Silesian Franciscan Province took over the monastery. The kindergarten was founded in 1949 and had its own building. On April 1, 1956, the St. Antonius parish was established, and on April 1, 1961, it was elevated to a parish. The Kleefelder Ordenshaus was also the Provincialate of the Saxon Order Province ( Saxonia ) since 1998 . In autumn 2010 the branch was given up, on September 1, 2010 the church of St. Antonius was incorporated into the parish of St. Martin .
