St. Bonifatius, Catholic church in Hessisch Oldendorf, Germany
St. Bonifatius features a simple altar space with white interior walls adorned by stations of the cross and a central crucifix.
The church construction began in April 1950, following the establishment of a Catholic community in 1944 during World War II refugee movements.
The church maintains local traditions through regular masses, community gatherings, and the long-running Catholic carnival celebration called Boni-Max.
Located at Schilfstraße 18a in Hessisch Oldendorf, the church operates as part of St. Sturmius parish in Rinteln within the Diocese of Hildesheim.
Architect Fritz Schaller, himself a displaced person, designed the church with a memorial section in its tower for war casualties.
