The parish church of Our Lady (abbreviated: ULF ) in Würzburger Frauenland was built from 1936 .

history

In 1928 a new branch for the Frauenland was founded from the parish of St. Peter and Paul in Würzburg . Until 1936, the services took place under Expositus Johannes Heyer in the chapel of the Ferdinandeum seminary. The new parish church was then built from 1936 to 1937. It was inaugurated in 1937 by Würzburg's Bishop Matthias Ehrenfried . The architect was Albert Boßlet . In 1941 the Expositur was raised to a parish. Its first pastor was Johannes Heyer, who until then was the branch office of the community. During the bombing raid on Würzburg on March 16, 1945 , the church was almost completely destroyed and was rebuilt by 1948. In 1970, Heyer resigned as pastor of the community at the age of 70. His successor was Karl Boyer. In 1979 the interior of the church was redesigned according to the second Vatican . In 1990 the parish saw its second change of pastor. Karl Boyer's successor was Matthias Konrad, who celebrated his first class in 1971 in the parish church of ULF.

Bells

In 1936 the Otto bell foundry from Hemelingen / Bremen cast five bells for the Liebfrauenkirche. The four larger bells were melted down during World War II. Only the small h'-bell remained. After the war, Otto cast four bronze bells in 1957, thus renewing the five-part chime with its striking notes: cis ′ - e ′ - fis ′ - gis ′ - h ′. The bells have the following diameters: 1513 mm, 1272 mm, 1134 mm, 1009 mm, 840 mm; they weigh: 2372 kg, 1430 kg, 1019 kg, 744 kg, approx. 400 kg.

Church life

The parish is home to a large number of groups who shape and shape life in the community. In addition to spiritual and social groups such as the Legio Mariae and the KAB and the three choirs that help shape the liturgical image of the community, it is above all the youth groups of the DPSG and the altar boys who ensure that the community appears young and strong.
