St. Mariä Himmelfahrt Church (Cologne)

The patronage "Assumption of Mary" of this Cologne church - also home to the Italian parish of the cathedral city - refers to one of the many days of commemoration or feast days in honor of the Mother of God Maria. It goes back to the feast of their physical acceptance into heaven, which the Church celebrates annually on August 15th.
In many rural areas it is common for the people to collect herbal bundles (called "Kruggweusch" in the Rhenish dialect) on this day and bless them in the festival service.

The Catholic parish church of St. Mary's Assumption was for a long time the largest church in Cologne after the cathedral and is one of the few remaining architectural examples of the baroque in the city. The former college church of the Jesuits, located on Marzellenstrasse near the cathedral, was built according to plans by Christoph Wamser, who had already built the Jesuit church in Molsheim (Alsace). This church also served as a direct model for St. Mary's Assumption. Wamser is also verified as a site manager until 1623. Then Valentin Boltz from Thuringia took over the construction management and interior design.

The foundation stone was laid in 1618. In 1629 it was put into use. It was completed in 1678. During the Second World War, the church was almost completely destroyed, except for the surrounding walls. In the years 1949 to 1979 it was restored to its original shape. The Cologne complex was built at the same time as the Jesuit Church of St. Michael in Aachen, and then the churches in Bonn, Coesfeld and Paderborn.
