Christ the King - Catholic Church - Zeven
Between 1945 and 1950, many Catholic Christians from Central and Eastern Europe settled in Zeven, a town with a predominantly Protestant population. For this reason, a Catholic church building was consecrated on June 1, 1948.
In 1952, the cornerstone was laid for the present-day church. It was consecrated by Bishop Joseph Godehard Machens as early as November 23 of that same year.
In 1956, an independent parish was established. Since 2006, the church has been part of the Corpus Christi parish, while the independent Christ the King parish was dissolved. Today, the Corpus Christi parish has just under 6,000 members.
The building was constructed according to plans by Josef Fehling. A rectangular tower rises from the west side, housing a bell dating from 1516. The interior is quite simple, featuring a crucifix and a tabernacle on the back wall. Statues of Joseph and Mary stand on the right and left sides of the altar area.
