St. Christopher’s Catholic Parish Church (Werne)
Highlight • Religious Site
The original parish was mentioned in a document as early as the 11th century. From 1139 to 1803 it belonged to the nearby Cappenberg monastery. After the fires and the collapse of the tower of the Werner Church in the first half of the 15th century, the western part was renewed around 1450 by Master Roseer, the builder of the great councilor of the Reinoldi Church in Dortmund.
During excavation work inside the church, remnants of the wall of a Romanesque church were discovered. The patronage of St. Christophorus goes back, among other things, to the special importance of this saint for the city of Werne, after which a hospital and a grammar school are named next to the church and which can be found in the Werner coat of arms on the old town hall.
In the church there is a larger than life lime wood figure of the saint, which was created by the Münster-based sculptor Johann Adam Ney around 1840.
From 1900 to 1903 the later auxiliary bishop of Münster, Everhard Illigens, was parish dean here in Werne. As part of renovation work on the church, archaeological excavations took place in 1995, during which the grave of a priest was discovered. For this purpose, a chasuble that was around 200 years older was exposed, which stands out for its artistic ornamentation. After two years of restoration, it was exhibited in a specially created room in the nearby Karl Pollender City Museum.
