In 1912, planning began for a chapel to "strengthen" the Protestant Christians in the Rieste region. The foundation stone was laid in May of the same year after the population had made substantial donations. At the beginning of 1913, work on the building made of yellow quarry sandstone from Ueffeln was completed and the consecration followed on April 6, 1913 . One hundred years later, on April 6, 2013, the Christ Church parish Hesepe-Sögeln-Rieste celebrated the 100th anniversary of the chapel.
Furnishing
On the walls of the chapel, rediscovered Art Nouveau paintings during the restoration in 1995, which were painted over in the 1960s. The "Emmaus window", after which the chapel was named in 1983, is located at the rear of the choir and above the altar ; the table scene depicted bears the sentence: “Lord, stay with us, because evening will come” ( Lk 24:29 Lut ).
