St. Marien is a Roman Catholic church in the Wiedenbrück district of Rheda-Wiedenbrück . It was consecrated to St. Ursula and St. Mary (double patronage ). The church belongs to the parish of St. Aegidius , but is looked after by the Franciscans of the attached monastery . Because of the attached Franciscan monastery, the Wiedenbrücker citizens are also familiar with the church under the names Franziskanerkirche or Paterskirche . In contrast, the name St. Ursula is only rarely used.
