Missionshauskirche, Romanesque Revival church in St. Wendel, Germany.
Description
The Missionshauskirche is a Romanesque Revival church building in St. Wendel, equipped with three bronze bells cast in 1955 at the Saarlouis foundry. The instrument features a Stahlhuth organ with 30 registers distributed across three manuals and pedal sections.
History
The foundation stone was laid in 1910, and Bishop Michael Felix Korum consecrated the building on June 1, 1913. Architect Ludwig Becker was involved in the overall planning and shaped the Romanesque Revival appearance of the structure.
Culture
The interior was designed by Father Alfred Fraebel and reflects the connection between the church and mission work. Visitors can see how the space was used for worship and religious education alike.
Practical
The building is easily accessible from the town center and located in a quiet residential area. A visit is straightforward, and you should take time to explore the organ and the bells inside.
Did you know?
During World War II, the Nazi government seized the mission house and converted the attached school into a National Political Educational Institute. This was a dark chapter in the site's history that reminds us of what many religious institutions faced during that era.
