St. Liborius

St. Liborius is a parish church in Boffzen with a concrete tower covered in copper sheets, standing approximately 700 meters from the Weser River. The structure combines reinforced concrete with red brick cladding and includes a former baptismal chapel separated from the main space by three round columns.

Construction began in 1962 with a foundation stone ceremony performed by General Vicar Adalbert Sendker, followed by consecration in May 1963 under Bishop Heinrich Maria Janssen. The project was completed quickly to serve the growing community in the region.

The interior displays a mosaic of the resurrected Christ by Josef Nienhaus and 14 Stations of the Cross created by Reinhard Maria Bongartz. These artworks shape how the worship space looks and reflect the artistic choices made for this building.

The site is easily accessible on foot and located in a quiet area of Boffzen with good access from the town center. Visitors have space to linger and can explore the church at a relaxed pace.

The church notably lacks a traditional organ, instead featuring modern musical instruments that suit the 1960s-era building. This unconventional choice created innovative acoustics within the worship space.
