St. Peter in Wildeshausen is the parish church of the Catholic parish of St. Peter Wildeshausen, which belongs to the Vechta deanery of the Münster diocese .

Building history and description

The Catholics in Wildeshausen erected their own church building for the first time in 1810–1811. However, damage soon became apparent due to design errors. After repairs in 1820 did not help, the church was demolished due to the risk of collapse.

From 1823 to 1824, Heinrich Carl Slevogt built a new church on the foundations of the previous building. This had a rectangular floor plan, semicircular closed windows, a hipped roof on the east side and a roof turret .

From 1901 to 1902, Heinrich Flügel added a neo-Romanesque church tower on the west side. In 1951 the church was redesigned while keeping the tower.

Furnishing

A baroque Madonna from the first quarter of the 18th century, which was probably made by Wilhelm Heinrich Kocks , and a Pietà from the 18th century date from the time before the church was built .

organ

The organ was built in 1967 by the Alfred Führer Orgelbau company. The slider chest instrument has 19 stops on two manuals and a pedal . The playing and register actions are mechanical.

Bells

The church in Wildeshausen received bells from the Otto bell foundry in 1902 and 1923/25 , but these were confiscated and melted down in the two world wars. After the end of World War II, the Ottos cast two bells in 1947 with the striking notes f sharp 'and b', diameters 1105 mm and 828 mm.
