Schmerzhafte Mutter St. Maria-Kirche, Catholic church in central Flensburg, Germany.
Description
The Schmerzhafte Mutter St. Maria-Kirche is a red brick neo-Gothic church in central Flensburg with a distinctive polygonal choir oriented to the north. The building features a bell tower positioned at its southwestern corner, creating its characteristic silhouette above the city center.
History
Construction of the church began in 1898 under builder E. Breitschneider, but faced significant obstacles due to marshy soil conditions. The building was finally consecrated in January 1900 after these structural challenges were overcome.
Culture
The church serves the local community as a gathering place with regular worship services, including a monthly Mass for Croatian speakers. It holds meaning for diverse groups of people who come together for spiritual practice and celebration.
Practical
The church is located on Nordergraben Street and offers regular access with evening Mass services held throughout the week. Visitors interested in confession can come on Fridays during the designated evening hour.
Did you know?
The church contains a three-bell bronze bell system that sends clear tones across the city from above. In the 1980s, the apse underwent major restoration work to address damage caused by the unstable soil beneath the building.
