history
The first documentary mention of the church and the Stapelage estate took place in 1185, when Wittekind III. von Waldeck and Schwalenberg together with his brothers Hermann, Heinrich and Volkwin donated the Stapelage property to found the Marienfeld Monastery . However, extensive excavations by the mayor of Lagos, Leopold Möller, in the 1960s have shown that there was a stone church in Stapelage as early as the middle of the 8th century. It is recorded that the church was consecrated in honor of St. Mary, Peter and Urban.
Heinrich I von Schwalenberg regretted the donation and took the goods back. Archbishop Adolf of Cologne was able to convince him in 1194 to forego the goods again. Cardinal de Monte Celio confirmed ownership of the monastery in a letter of protection in 1196. Volkwin IV. Von Schwalenberg , son of Heinrich, later seized the property. This time it was Archbishop Engelbert I of Cologne who legally returned the property to the monastery in a document in 1221.
Since the founding of Marienfeld, the local monks had the right to fill the pastorate in Stapelage. Initially, secular chaplains were appointed for pastoral care, later the monks exercised the office of pastor themselves.
1539–42 the Reformation overtook the church in Stapelage. The monks had to leave the church. The relics of the church go to the Marienfeld monastery, and Abbot Johannes Stades had four large reliquary containers with the scattered sanctuaries from Stapelage installed there.
The rectory was rebuilt in 1678 after the old one burned down.
In 1762 the church was significantly rebuilt and it took on its present shape. In a description from this period it can be read that no inscriptions from an earlier period have survived. The organ was dated 1665. The church had two bells. The older one was provided with the names of the pastor, church governor and caster as well as with the slogan Inservio vivis et mortuis and showed the year 1658. The second bell bore the year 1732.
In 1866 a new rectory was completed.
In 1875–1878 the church was repaired again. The roof was renewed and a new wooden vault was installed. Interior and exterior walls were painted, and the corridors and choir were covered with panels.
In 1881 the community numbered about 3,600 souls. 140 children were born annually, 78 came for confirmation .
