Heilige Familie

Heilige Familie, Catholic church in Eschershausen, Germany.

Heilige Familie is a Roman Catholic filial church in Eschershausen, built in 1954 and consecrated on 19 December of that year. The church has a wooden ceiling and seating for 168 worshippers. Its interior was rearranged in 1972 after the Second Vatican Council, when a new altar and ambo designed by Wilhelm Keudel were installed.

Catholic services returned to Eschershausen on 26 December 1931, held in a room of the municipal school. After 1945 the number of Catholics rose above 1,800, and pastor Eduard Beigel broke ground for the church in June 1954. Bishop Joseph Godehard Machens blessed it on 19 December 1954, with Hedwig of Andechs and Pope Pius X as secondary patrons.

The church is named after the Holy Family; its secondary patrons are Saint Hedwig of Andechs, patroness of Silesia, and Pope Pius X, canonised in the year the church was blessed. The 1972 altar by Wilhelm Keudel holds relics of Saint Zeno of Verona and his companions.

The church is administered by the St. Maria Königin parish in Bodenwerder and serves for religious ceremonies and community gatherings since 2008. Visitors should plan to attend during service times or check ahead about access for viewing the interior.

The church's side patrons, chosen at its 1954 blessing, are Saint Hedwig of Andechs, patroness of Silesia, and Pope Pius X, canonised that same year. Hedwig's link reflects the Silesian origins of pastor Eduard Beigel, who built the church and founded the Leobschützer Heimatstube here in 1963.
