from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The St. Marianus Church was the Catholic church in Bardowick , a town in the Lüneburg district in Lower Saxony . It was named after St. Marian von Bardowick and was located in Schlöpkeweg 8. The small church always belonged to the parish of Christ König in Adendorf , in the Lüneburg deanery of the Hildesheim diocese . Today there is a hospice in their area.

history

On November 3rd, 782 the missionary Marianus was killed on a bridge leading over the Ilmenau near Bardowick. Already at the end of the 13th century a "Chapel of St. Marianus" was mentioned in Bardowick, it was located south of the Ilmenau Bridge. In 1466 the chapel was rebuilt. In 1540 the Lutheran Ernst I , Prince of Lüneburg , had the chapel torn down to end the veneration of Marianus.

On April 3, 1971, took place Blessing of the newly built St. Marianus Church by Bishop Heinrich Maria Janssen . Before that, catholic church services took place in St. Marianus in the street Hinterm Dom 2 .

The church has been little used since the mid-1980s and was abandoned in the 1990s. A privately owned center of the same name for palliative care with an inpatient hospice was built on their property in 1997/98 ; the church was demolished for this purpose. In the palliative care center there is a newly built chapel , which was inaugurated on August 28, 1998 by Bishop Josef Homeyer . On the part of the Catholic parish of St. Marien in Lüneburg, today there are weekday services in the chapel. The closest Catholic church with Sunday services is today Christ König in the neighboring village of Adendorf.

Architecture and equipment

The church was built by the diocesan building department as a prefabricated concrete church and was about 10 meters above sea level . Inventory from the church was used in the chapel of the palliative care center. One of the two bells from the church found a new place in the palliative care center, the other bell in a new church in Latvia .
