    Tips

    In 1682, Prince-Bishop Ferdinand von Fürstenberg laid the foundation stone for the Jesuit and University Church of Saint Francis Xavier, today's Market Church. After ten years of construction, it was consecrated on September 14, 1692. The post-Gothic design of the church had a major influence on the subsequent church construction of the Weser Baroque period. The Baroque altar, almost 21 meters high and a good ten meters wide, was completely destroyed in the Second World War and was completely reconstructed from 1989 to 2004 in eight construction phases using photos and templates. The cost: around four million euros.

        The former Jesuit and university church, Saint Francis Xavier, also known as the "Market Church", is located in the city center of Paderborn, near the town hall square and right next to the Theodorianum Gymnasium, which uses the church for Catholic school services on Thursdays. In addition, the Market Church is the parish church of the inner-city parish of Saint Liborius, founded in 1998, alongside the Gau Church of Saint Ulrich and the Busdorf Church of Saint Peter and Andrew.[1]

        The name "Market Church" was transferred to it from the Protestant Market Church of Saint Pankratius on today's Marienplatz, including parish rights, when it was forcibly closed as an example during the Counter-Reformation and finally demolished in 1784 due to dilapidation.

        The foundation stone of today's Market Church was laid in 1682 by Prince-Bishop Ferdinand von Fürstenberg. The plans for the three-aisled baroque gallery basilica were made by the Jesuit lay brother Anton Hülse. After only ten years of construction, it was consecrated as a Jesuit church on September 14, 1692. The church was already a university and high school church when it was founded.
