history

After Catholics, mainly from Eichsfeld and Upper Silesia , had settled in the evangelical Sudenburg in the course of industrialization , the mission parish Sudenburg was founded in 1861. The services initially took place in a Catholic school. Before that, the Catholics in Sudenburg belonged to the parish of Magdeburg.

On May 13, 1867, the foundation stone for the church was laid on Morgenstrasse, today's Rottersdorfer Strasse . At that time, around 1,000 of the approximately 6,500 inhabitants of Sudenburg were Catholic. The church consecration followed on December 8th of the same year . In the same year Sudenburg was incorporated into Magdeburg. 1892 the organ builder was William Rühlmann produced for 5046 Mark organ installed. In 1897 it was raised to an independent parish. In 1944 and 1945 the church was severely damaged by the war and the organ was unusable. In 1949 the church got an organ with a pneumatic action. This largely consisted of the outsourced organ from the St. Katharinen-Kirche Egeln, which was supplemented with repaired parts of the organ from St. Marien, which was destroyed in the war. In 1983 the congregation ordered a new one from Hermann Eule Orgelbau Bautzen , but there were waiting times of up to 14 years for organs, similar to cars, because the GDR organ building companies were busy with export orders that brought in foreign currency. Tongues and a low-noise fan motor were not available in the GDR, and were donated by West German church authorities as early as 1984. It was not until 1993 that the assembled organ from 1949 could be replaced by the new one with 19 stops and 1330 pipes. The new organ was valued at 120,000 GDR marks in 1983, and in 1993 it cost 360,000 German marks.

On October 28, 2007, the community association Magdeburg-Süd , comprising the two parishes of Ottersleben and Sudenburg, was established, and in November 2010 it was merged to form today's parish of St. Maria .

Architecture and equipment

The church was built as a three-aisled basilica in neo-Gothic style based on designs by the Paderborn cathedral builder Arnold Güldenpfennig .

Other Catholic institutions in the catchment area of ​​the church are the St. Marien day care center and the clearing center for unaccompanied refugee minors in the state of Saxony-Anhalt .
