St. Marien is a Roman Catholic parish church in the northern part of Hanover . The church named after Maria (mother of Jesus) is located at Marschnerstraße 30 and belongs to the parish of St. Maria in the Hannover deanery of the Hildesheim diocese .

history

The basilica , built in neo-Gothic form according to plans by Christoph Hehl from 1886 to 1890 , was consecrated on May 20, 1890 by Bishop Daniel Wilhelm Sommerwerck and was the second Catholic church in Hanover after St. Clemens .

Ludwig Windthorst played a key role in the development of the Marienkirche . He found his final resting place here in 1891. In 1913 List , Vahrenwald and the suburbs bordering to the north were spun off from the parish as the new St. Joseph parish. 1917–1938 Wilhelm Maxen was pastor at St. Marien. The priest and martyr Christoph Hackethal († 1942 in Dachau ) came from the Mariengemeinde .

During the Second World War , the church was hit by bombs in air raids on Hanover on July 26, 1943, October 9, 1943, January 30, 1944 and most recently on March 25, 1945, and destroyed except for the tower. Due to the risk of collapse, the remaining outer walls had to be demolished in the spring of 1952 by order of the police. Instead of a reconstruction, a new three-aisled church interior was created in a simplified form in 1953/54, which was redesigned in 1979 under the artistic direction of Heinrich Gerhard Bücker .

The church is the main church of the new parish of St. Maria, which was created on November 1, 2006 by merging. The church is also used by the local Catholic International Center in Hanover . The parish also includes the churches of St. Adalbert and St. Hedwig. The church of St. Christophorus , which formerly belonged to the parish, was profaned in 2019 .

organ

The organ was built around 1850 by Philipp Furtwängler (Elze near Hanover) for the Brunswick Cathedral. In 1960 the instrument was sold to Hanover and rebuilt in the parish church of St. Maria. The instrument is one of the largest organs in northern Germany. It has 73 stops on three manuals and a pedal .
