St. Peter and Paul is the Roman Catholic Church in Dannenberg (Elbe) , a town in the Lüchow-Dannenberg district in Lower Saxony . It is a branch church of the parish of St. Agnes with seat in Lüchow , in the dean's office Lüneburg of the diocese of Hildesheim . The church named after Saints Simon Peter and Paul of Tarsus is located at Feldstraße 20 (corner of Königsberger Platz).

history

As a result of the Second World War , the number of Catholics in Dannenberg , which has been Protestant since the Reformation, increased considerably due to the influx of refugees and displaced persons from the eastern regions of the German Empire . Soon after the end of the war, a Catholic parish began to form. Therefore, the church was built in the eastern settlement of Dannenberg. The foundation stone was laid on July 26, 1953, and their benediction followed on May 9, 1954 . On July 1, 1956, the Catholic parish of Dannenberg / Elbe was established, previously Dannenberg belonged to the Lüchow vicarage . In 1964 the Dannenberg parish with St. Maria Königin in Hitzacker got a branch church that has since been profaned . On January 1, 1988, the parish of Dannenberg / Elbe was raised to a parish.

Since November 1, 2006 the church has belonged again to the parish of St. Agnes in Lüchow, the Dannenberg / Elbe parish was dissolved again. In 2008 an evangelical crèche was set up in the then vacant rectory .

Architecture and equipment

The church, located around 13 meters above sea level , was built according to plans by Josef Fehlig , designed as a nave construction with a turret . Statues next to the chancel show the two church patrons . Today's organ comes from the secular church in Hitzacker; it was rebuilt in Dannenberg in 2013 because the Dannenberg organ was in need of renovation. The previous, two-manual Dannenberger pipe organ (probably built in 1965 by the Krell brothers in Duderstadt) came to the Protestant village church of Rüthnick ( Brandenburg ).
