St. Hedwig, Catholic church in Heepen district, Bielefeld, Germany
The rectangular St. Hedwig Church features a hip roof, narrow round-arched windows, and a square bell tower with sound arcades at Hillegosser Street.
The church foundation stone, laid in June 1955, originated from the destroyed St. Hedwig Cathedral in Berlin and Archbishop Lorenz Jaeger consecrated it in 1956.
Richard Süßmuth designed the church windows depicting Saint Hedwig and biblical figures, creating distinctive lighting effects throughout the interior spaces.
The church serves 3,551 Catholics across Heepen, Altenhagen, Brönninghausen, and Oldentrup districts, offering regular masses and sacramental celebrations for the community.
A crypt designed by architect Wolfgang Krause was added beneath the altar in 1996, providing a dedicated space for private prayer and contemplation.
