The wiki entry speaks about a major shrine in the "Abbey of Neumünster, Bordesholm, Germany." Here is something confused, either the shrine is in Neumünster, where there is a post-Reformation Catholic church with Vicelinus as patron saint, or in Bordesholm where there is another post-Reformation Catholic church, but of St. Mary's. In 1127 Vicelin founded an Augustine collegiate church of St. Bartholomew, "nova monasterium", which became eponymous for Neumünster. In 1330 this canon-law college moved to Bordesholm. With the Protestant Reformation St. Bartholomew's church became a Lutheran church and was demolished due to delapidation and replaced by today's Lutheran Vicelinus Church between 1829 and 1834. So maybe the shrine was in St. Bartholomew's, but is not in Vicelinus Church, or it was moved to Bordesholm, however, the Cloister Church (Klosterkirche) there is also Lutheran and has no Vicelinus shrine.
