Center for Liturgical Art breaks ground

Concordia University will soon have a new home for its Center for Liturgical Art, thanks to the Marxhausen family.

The university held a ground breaking ceremony May 1 to mark the beginning of construction on a new building at 540 N. Columbia Avenue in Seward that will be the Center for Liturgical Art.

“This is no ordinary building site. This site has great significance,” Kurth Brashear, Concordia’s vice president for institutional advancement, said at the ceremony.

The late Reinhold and Dorris Marxhausen were well-known in the Seward community. He was a nationally recognized artist and professor at the university, and she was actively involved in local politics and volunteer work.

Reinhold passed away in 2011 and Dorris in 2015. Their children decided to donate the family’s home at the corner of Lincoln Street and North Columbia Avenue in Seward, adjacent to Concordia, to the university.
