St. George

The Catholic parish church of St. Georg is a listed church building in Marl , in the Recklinghausen district in North Rhine-Westphalia .

location

The parish church is located in the Marl district of Alt-Marl , the historic center of the city. Immediately to the south runs the B 225 , the name of which changes from Breite Straße to Hochstraße at the height of the church. Loestrasse runs east of the church and Schillerstrasse runs west. To the north of the church is the old market, which is used for events.

history

In the 11th century the church belonged to Count Balderich of the Lower Rhine as a separate church . He later handed the church over to Archbishop Heribert of Cologne . In a manuscript from 1160 it is recorded that Archbishop Heribert passed the church on to Deutz Abbey . It became a parish church in the 13th century. From 1228 a clergyman is recorded as the first officially named priest (sacerdos) in the community, it was Johannes von Marl.

The local von Loë family was the patron saint of the church from 1419 to 1830. Then the Baron von Twickel took over the patronage of the Lüttinghof house .

Between 1856 and 1859 the church was completely renovated according to plans by the Münster diocesan master builder Emil von Manger and a new nave was built according to plans by Vinzenz Statz . The Romanesque foundation walls of the tower from the 12th century were retained as the foundation. The tower was raised in 1863/1864.

On July 9, 2017, the parish of St. Georg was incorporated into the parish of Saint Edith Stein, to which a total of seven previously independent Catholic parishes in Marl merged.

  • West tower

  • View at night

  • George statue with war memorial
