history
A church in Niederbieber was first mentioned in 1204. According to a certificate of indulgence from 1347, the church was probably consecrated to St. Mary, and in 1401 a St. Catherine altar was mentioned in the church.
In 1278 Salentin von Isenburg agreed with the widow Ysalda of Bruno von Braunsberg that he and her children should be entitled to church poison and patronage rights in Niederbieber. As a Trier fiefdom , Wilhelm von Braunsberg had the patronage of the church in 1328 and Count von Wied at the latest since 1340. After the introduction of the Reformation , the first Protestant church visitation took place in 1556.
The oldest parts of today's church are the square choir and the richly articulated northern four-storey flank tower from the first half of the 13th century. The Romanesque nave was replaced by a three-aisled new building at the end of the 15th century. The church served the Wied as a burial place from 1450 to 1580 . The Archbishop of Cologne, Hermann V. von Wied , who died in 1552 , is buried under the altar. In 1825 the urn of Archbishop Salentin von Isenburg came to the church from the Rommersdorf monastery .
