In the vibrant district of Kleefeld, St. Antonius Church stands as a testament to faith and community. St. Antonius Church emerged from humble beginnings. The parish Zu den heiligen Engeln was originally part of St. Antonius. It wasn’t until July 1, 1964, that Zu den heiligen Engeln became its own entity, starting with 1,850 members and growing from there. St. Antonius itself has a rich history. The records show it was once the seat of an archdeacon, led by Superintendent Antonius Corvinus. In those days, Hanover, the city where St. Antonius resides, frequently hosted church synods, making it a hub of religious discussion and debate. One notable publication from that era, “Theoria Physica, De Sensu In Genere,” printed in Hanover in 1618, delved into intricate theological topics. While St. Antonius itself may not be directly mentioned in this text, the connection to Hanover and its religious significance during that time paints a vivid backdrop for the church’s historical context. It shows the deep roots of religious activity in the area, paving the way for the establishment of parishes like St. Antonius.
