Kirche Sankt Mariä Himmelfahrt Oldenfelde, Parish church and heritage monument in Rahlstedt, Germany
Description
Kirche Sankt Mariä Himmelfahrt Oldenfelde is a modern Catholic church with a rectangular nave, low side aisles, and a freestanding tower. The building features round windows in the side aisles and contains an organ with 24 registers distributed across two manual works and pedals.
History
After the Reformation, the Catholic community in Rahlstedt had no church for centuries. The first masses took place in 1925 at the Wilhelmstift hospital, and the community later built their own dedicated building.
Culture
The church is named after the Assumption of Mary, a Catholic feast that appears in its windows and decoration. The light-toned windows depicting scenes from Mary's life create a calm mood inside the building.
Practical
Visiting during daytime allows you to see the interior details clearly as natural light enters through the windows. The location in Wandsbek is accessible by public transport and the grounds are easy to walk around.
Did you know?
The rectory on the church grounds comes from a former country house with classical brick architecture from the early 1900s. This building blends the location's past with its modern use as the priest's residence.
