St. Mary's Assumption (Wassenberg)
St. Mariä Himmelfahrt is the Roman Catholic branch church of the upper town of Wassenberg in the district of Heinsberg ( North Rhine-Westphalia ).
history
After the Second World War there was a need to build a church and set up a new pastoral care unit in the upper town of Wassenberg. On December 11, 1947, the Rectorate of St. Mary's Assumption of the parish of St. Georg Wassenberg was founded. Initially, an emergency church in a labor barrack served as a place of worship. In 1952 the rectorate was elevated to a parish vicarie and was now largely independent in terms of property law. The new parish finally received a church in the years 1954 to 1956 according to the plans of the Wassenberg architect Willi Andermahr . The foundation stone was laid on October 10, 1954 and the church was consecrated on April 8, 1956.
On November 26, 1965, the parish vicarie St. Mariä Himmelfahrt was separated from the mother parish St. Georg in the lower town and raised to an independent parish . Since January 1st 2010, St. Mary's Assumption is no longer an independent parish. It was merged with some other former parishes to form the parish of St. Marien Wassenberg.
Furnishing
The interior has retained the furnishings from the 1950s. The organ has 17 registers and dates from 1973. Peter Thomas created the windows in 1979.
