Mary's Grotto - consecrated on May 1st, 2011

An old bunker, which offered residents and miners protection and refuge from air raids during World War II, was converted into the Marien-Grotte - a new place of refuge arose from an old place of refuge!  After the war until the Lüderich ore mine was shut down in 1978, the mine rescue service used the bunker as a training room. 

The strong walls defied a demolition planned years ago and with the permission of the owners, this Marian grotto was created through private initiative with the support of donations and many voluntary helpers, which invites you to pause and pray. Framed by a wooden figure of the H1

Barbara in the front room and a portrait of the Merciful Jesus in the back room of the grotto is the beautiful statue of Mary in the dome shaft of the former bunker.  She comes from the place of pilgrimage Medjugorje (Bosnia-Herzegovina).
