Maria Rosenkranz ( Mary Rosary) is a Catholic church in Frankfurt- Seckbach, part of Frankfurt am Main. It was completed in 1953. On 1 January 2015 the parish became a Kirchort (church location), part of the parish St. Josef Frankfurt am Main. [1] The parish church of the Seckbach congregation is part of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Limburg.
After World War II, the Catholic population of Seckbach grew, and a new church was planned to meet the need. It was designed by the Frankfurt architects Heinrich Horvatin and Carl Rummel. [2] The ground-breaking was on 16 December 1951. The consecration was on 27 September 1953 by Weihbischof Walther Kampe . It became part of the "Pfarrei neuen Typs" (new type parish) St. Josef in Bornheim on 1 Januar 2015, [3] along with Heilig-Kreuz in Bornheim, Heilig Geist in Riederwald and Herz Jesu in Frankfurt-Fechenheim.
The organ installed in 1953 was built by Kemper Orgelbau , originally for the salon of Bertha, Countess von Sierstorpff. [4] It was replaced by a new organ in 1977.
On 1 January 2015, four parishes were combined to St. Josef, with locations (Kirchort) St. Josef , Maria Rosenkranz, Heilig Geist and Herz Jesu. [5] [6]
