St. Marien, Catholic church building in Delmenhorst, Germany
St. Marien is a neo-Gothic church in Delmenhorst featuring a long nave divided into three sections and a prominent western tower. The building has an eastern chancel with side apses that frame the altar area.
The building was constructed between 1901 and 1903 based on designs by architect Heinrich Flügel. Following substantial destruction during the Second World War, it underwent reconstruction that lasted until 1949.
The interior displays fourteen iron relief Stations of the Cross that shape the spiritual experience when visiting. These religious artworks, along with a wooden crucifix and silver tabernacle, create a strong visual focus for those who enter.
The church is located at Louisenstraße 22 and holds regular services in German and Polish. Visitors will find two cemeteries and a kindergarten with family center located within the building complex.
The western gallery houses a 47-register organ crafted by builder Alfred Führer in 1961, which continues to fill the church with music. The tower contains six bells, including the Marienglocke cast by the Otto foundry.
