St. Marien

St. Marien features a distinct roof constructed from fourteen semicircular concrete tubes supported by fifteen concrete pillars, with white-painted concrete and red brick walls.

Following the destruction of the original church in 1944, a temporary structure was used until the current building was completed and consecrated in June 1956.

The church serves the Catholic community of Wilhelmshaven with regular services, accommodating 320 worshippers in two seating blocks divided by a central aisle.

The church contains an organ built in 1969 by Orgelbau Führer, featuring 18 stops operated by a mechanical keyboard and a specialized windchest configuration.

The parish experienced significant demographic changes, decreasing from 4,000 members in the mid-20th century to approximately 2,000 members by 2006.
