Maria Rosenkranz, Frankfurt


Maria Rosenkranz is a Catholic church in Frankfurt-Seckbach, part of Frankfurt am Main. It was completed in 1953. Since 1 January 2015, it is part of the larger parish St. Josef Frankfurt am Main, together with five other churches.
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 and Carl Rummel. The ground-breaking was on 16 December 1951. The consecration was on 27 September 1953 by Weihbischof. It became part of the "Pfarrei neuen Typs" St. Josef in Bornheim on 1 Januar 2015, along with Heilig-Kreuz in Bornheim, Heilig Geist in Riederwald and Herz Jesu in Frankfurt-Fechenheim.
The organ installed in 1953 was built by, originally for the salon of Bertha, Countess von Sierstorpff. It was replaced by a new organ in 1977.
