Mariä Himmelfahrt, Klütz
Facts and practical information
The Catholic church of St. Mary's Assumption on the eastern outskirts of Klütz is a branch church of the parish of Sel. Niels Stensen in Grevesmühlen.
The small diaspora church was built in 1932 as a simple hall building with barrel vault. It received the patrocinium of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Inside, the depiction of the coronation of Mary on the altar wall is remarkable.
Mary Collingwood, the converted Countess of Bothmer, played a decisive role in the establishment of the Catholic chaplaincy in Klütz and in the construction of the church. Services were held in a Klütz inn from 1915, in Bothmer Castle from 1918, and in the cemetery chapel from 1925 until the present church was built in 1932.
The church and the circumstances of its construction are also the subject of Uwe Johnson's Jahrestagen.
