Church of the Holy Cross in Waren (Müritz) - Catholic history in the Baltic Sea region
The Holy Cross Church in Waren (Müritz) is a special testimony to the Catholic faith in the Protestant-dominated region of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. As in many towns on the Baltic coast - from Rostock to Stralsund and Greifswald - the Reformation had a formative influence: the first Catholic mass after the Reformation was not celebrated in Waren until 1898, and the first priest settled in the town in 1908.
Church building with an eventful history - foundation stone in 1928
With the influx of Catholics after the First World War, the parish grew steadily. In 1928, the foundation stone was laid for the current church building, which was consecrated just one year later. It is noteworthy that Polish reapers were heavily involved in the construction - an example of the close ties between the people of the region at the time.
Copper portals with biblical motifs by Peter BalehnaThe three entrance portals to the church are a special work of art. They were designed by Waren artist Peter Balehna in 1979. The door panels, covered with embossed sheet copper, show impressive motifs from the Bible and give the entrance to the Holy Cross Church an unmistakable, high-quality handcrafted appearance.
Worship services and church life in Waren (Müritz)The Heilig Kreuz Kirche belongs to the Niels Stensen parish and offers regular church services - including a weekly prayer for peace, holy masses and a monthly children's service. The active community life also makes the church a lively place to pause for thought for visitors to the Müritz region.

After graduating there, he moved to Waren (Müritz) to live and work as a freelance artist. He became particularly well known for his animal sculptures and fabulous figures and has left his artistic mark all over Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Many of his works can be found in public spaces, especially in Waren (Müritz). Walther Preik died on 11.5.2018 in Waren (Müritz).
