St. Liborius, Catholic church building in Boffzen, Germany.
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 parish is the only church dedicated to Saint Liborius in the Diocese of Hildesheim; a framed embroidery of the patron saint, made in the workshop of Werner and Erika Cassau in Paderborn, hangs in a frame to the left of the chancel. To the right, a circular panel from 2006 recalls World Youth Day 2005 in Germany. The ambo by goldsmith Raimund Lange shows Christ, Paul of Tarsus, King David and Moses.
The church stands at Eichendorffstraße 1 on the southern edge of Boffzen, about 700 metres from the Weser. The former parish house is directly north of it and the parish hall to the south. The entrance is through the concrete tower; the west side holds the former baptismal chapel, used until 2004, and the sacristy.
The church has an electronic organ acquired in 1977, standing on the gallery. The ambo, made by the goldsmith Raimund Lange of Wolfsburg, shows Christ, Paul of Tarsus, King David and Moses; a similar ambo by the same maker stands in St. Christophorus in Wolfsburg, Lange's home parish.
