St. Oliver

St. Oliver is a church building in Laatzen featuring a hexagonal form with clean architectural lines that create a modern religious space. The structure displays the understated design typical of late 20th-century church architecture.

The building was constructed in 1977 as part of the expansion of Catholic religious structures in northern Germany during the late 20th century. This period of church development followed the postwar growth of communities in the region.

The church honors Saint Oliver Plunkett, an Irish martyr, creating a link between German and Irish Catholic traditions. This dedication shapes how the community gathers and celebrates throughout the year.

The congregation holds services on Saturdays, Sundays, and throughout the week according to the liturgical calendar. Visitors should check ahead for exact times, as schedules may vary with the season and special observances.

Each December the church organizes the Lebendige Adventskalender event, where the parish hall becomes a gathering place for seasonal community activities. This celebration transforms the location into a meeting point for connection and sharing during Advent.
