history
On July 24, 1946, the Lutter parish vicarie, which comprised around 800 Catholics, was set up; in addition to Lutter, it included the villages of Bodenstein , Nauen , Neuwallmoden , Ostlutter and Upen . Until the church was consecrated, services were held in the hall of an inn on Frankfurter Strasse. In 1955 Lutter became a subsidiary of the parish in Salzgitter-Ringelheim, and the number of Catholics had meanwhile dropped to around 500. A first church building plan from that year, to build a church on Bahnhofstrasse, was not implemented.
In 1958 a house on Dr.-Heinrich-Jasper-Straße was bought and the church was built on the rear of the property in 1960/61. Their benediction took place on September 24, 1961 . Some sources erroneously state 1955 or 1971 as the year of construction. From November 1, 2006, the church belonged to the parish of St. Marien in Salzgitter-Bad, previously it was a branch church of the Ringelheim parish of St. Abdon and Sennen . From July 1, 2007, the church belonged to the then newly established deanery Goslar – Salzgitter, previously it belonged to the deanery Salzgitter.
On December 9th, 2008 the church was profaned by Vicar General Werner Schreer , later sold. At that time, only just under 200 Catholics belonged to the catchment area of the church.
