St. Liborius, Kirchengebäude in Gröningen, einer Stadt im Landkreis Börde in Sachsen-Anhalt
St. Liborius is a church building constructed in 1906 in Gröningen, made of brick with smooth plaster and topped with a tall tower containing two bells. The interior features a simple nave with colored windows and houses an organ built in the 1970s that remains central to worship.
The church was built in 1906 after Catholics arrived in the predominantly Protestant town through factory work in the late 1880s. It marks the return of Catholic life to the town after nearly 300 years since the Reformation had fundamentally altered the faith landscape.
The church is named after Saint Liborius, a patron saint honored in the region. This name connects the community to a longer religious tradition that extends beyond the town's own history.
The church sits centrally in town, easily reached on foot from main streets, with a modest outdoor area to spend time. Visitors can attend services or use the calm interior for moments of reflection without needing to arrange anything in advance.
The organ in the church was built in the 1970s and carefully restored in the 1990s with seven registers, making it a special instrument for the community. This musical work shapes the sound of services and celebrations in the church to this day.
