history

Neo-Romanesque church 1898–1944

In 1897 the construction of the first St. Marien Church began, a neo-Romanesque hall church , which was inaugurated on November 13, 1898 by the auxiliary bishop of Münster , Clemens August Graf von Galen . It was largely destroyed by bombing raids in 1943 and 1944 . Until the new church was built in the 1950s, only the tower ruins remained.

New building 1953–1954

The current church building, a hall church with 450 seats, was built from 1953 to 1954 according to plans by the architect Georg Lippsmeier ( Düsseldorf ) and consecrated on May 27, 1954 by the Osnabrück bishop Wilhelm Berning . It stands on the site of the first St. Mary's Church, which was destroyed in the Second World War . During the construction of the new church, the two side wings were separated from the preserved tower ruins and the rest was surrounded by a new 42 meter high and 6.2 meter wide campanile . The actual church building was erected about six meters away from the tower. In 2003 the interior was redesigned according to plans by the architect Ulrich Recker ( Westerstede ). Directly opposite the Catholic St. Marien Church is the Protestant St. Wilhadi Church, built between 1955 and 1956.
