Stella Maris, Catholic church in Norderney, Germany
Description
Stella Maris is a Catholic church on Norderney island with a cube-shaped main nave and flat ceiling. The white plastered walls contain small window openings that create a simple, modern interior space.
History
Architect Dominikus Böhm designed the church in 1931 using New Objectivity style, making it the largest Catholic church in East Frisia. The building was completed during a period of growing Catholic presence on the island.
Culture
The large oil painting above the altar by Richard Seewald depicts the patron saint Mary and includes a representation of Norderney Island.
Practical
The church is open most days and visitors can freely view the interior space. Checking opening hours in advance is helpful for planning your visit and attending services if interested.
Did you know?
The organ in the church originally came from a Bremen church and was relocated to Stella Maris in 2010. This instrument blends harmoniously into the modern space despite its different origins.
