Jahr 1702 brachte für die Katholiken nach und nach die Wende. Die Grafschaft
Lingen fiel an Preußen. Große Hoffnung setzten die Katholiken auf den
liberal eingestellten König Friedrich Wilhelm I. Aber hohe preußische
Beamte, die im Bistum Münster enterbt und wegen ihres evangelischen Glaubens
des Landes verwiesen waren, unterdrückten weiterhin die katholische
Bevölkerung.
Erst nach einer Geldspende von 5.000 Talern der Katholiken in der Graf-
schaft Lingen erlaubte der König 1717 die Rückkehr der kath. Priester und
die Feier der Hl. Messe in Privathäusern. In großer Eile errichteten die
Katholiken ein Fachwerkbau auf Homeyers Hof als Notkirche. Doch die große
Freude der Gemeinde über die wiedererlangten Freiheiten wurde gedämpft durch
zwei schwere Schläge:
1734 ermordeten in einer Nacht mehrere Räuber den Pfarrer Jakob Kemler, als
dieser sich zur Wehr setzte. 1747 richtete ein großer Sturm erheb- lichen
Schaden an.
Das Gebäude auf Homeyers Grund, entworfen durch den Architekten Rudolphi,
erhielt aber doch durch die Rundbogenfenster das Aussehen einer Kirche. Von
reformierter Seite wurden Schwierigkeiten gemacht und der Bau vorübergehend
stillgelegt. Wegen dieser Vorfälle übertrug der ältere Pastor Brockmeyer und
der Vorstand der Gemeinde dem Kaplan Ter Meer die Gesamtleitung des
Kirchenbaus.
Die Kosten für den Kirchbau und die Innenausstattung waren nicht gering.
Hier einige Zahlen: 115 Taler für den Kirchplatz von Colon Homeyer, 140
Taler für den Hochaltar,

Hi Pam,
here is my translation:
Little by little the year 1702 brought a turning point for catholics. Lingen County fell to Prussia. The catholics put great hopes in
the liberal King Friedrich Wilhelm I. Yet high Prussian officials in the
Diocese Münster, who were disinherited and exiled because of their protestant beliefs,
continued to suppress the catholic population.
Only after a payment of 5,000 Taler by the catholics in the
County Lingen, the King agreed 1717 to a return of the catholic priests and
celebration of mass in private dwellings. In great haste the catholics erected
a wooden building on Homeyer’s farm to serve as a temporary church. But the
congregration’s great joy over their recovered freedom was dampened by two
incidents:
During one night in 1734 several robbers killed Pastor Jakob Kemler as he was defending himself. In 1747 a terrible storm caused
considerable damage.
The building on Homeyer’s property, designed by architect
Rudolphi, received a round arched window, which gave it the appearance of a
church. The reformed faction created some difficulites and the construction was
temporarily halted. These incidents caused old Pastor Brockmeyer and the head
of the community to hand the entire construction project over to Kaplan Ter
Meer .
The costs of the construction of the church building as well as designing the interior were
not insignificant: 115 Taler for Colon Homeyer’s property, 140 Taler for the
high altar.
Best regards,
Susanne
