from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
St. Michael, Munster-Gievenbeck

St. Michael is a Catholic church in the Gievenbeck district of the Westphalian city ​​of Münster . It was built from 1968 according to plans by Harald Deilmann and consecrated on March 21, 1970 by Bishop Heinrich Tenhumberg . It is a branch church of the parish Liebfrauen-Überwasser .

history

The village of Gievenbeck belonged to the parish Liebfrauen-Überwasser until the 20th century . It was not until the 1920s that the sharp rise in population made the establishment of a church of its own inevitable. The economic situation, then restrictions on the part of the National Socialist authorities initially only allowed a wooden building, which Bishop Clemens August von Galen consecrated on February 23, 1936 in honor of the Archangel Michael . This church survived World War II. Gievenbeck with its wooden church became an independent parish in 1949. The long-planned new building could take place at the end of the 1960s. The wooden church was demolished after the property was exchanged with the city of Münster for today's church property. In 1970 the new St. Michael's Church was inaugurated by Bishop Heinrich Tenhumberg. Since 2007 St. Michael has been reunited with Liebfrauen-Überwasser. Since Gievenbeck is the significantly larger part of the parish, St. Michael’s Church became the parish church, but the traditional name of the older Liebfrauen-Überwassergemeinde was adopted. In 2014 the parish of St. Sebastian (Nienberge) and St. Theresia was merged to form the parish of Liebfrauen-Überwasser, with the common parish church of Liebfrauen-Überwasser .
