Former Emmaus Chapel

Since, as a result of the Second World War, with the influx of expellees from the eastern regions of the German Reich , Catholics had resettled in the Protestant Hörsingen since the Reformation , and in 1967 a former forge was converted into a chapel . In 1968 it was inaugurated as the "Emmaus Chapel" and a wall hanging showed the Emmaus disciples . In 1992 the chapel was given up because the number of Catholics had decreased again. Today the church " St. Joseph and St. Theresa of the Child Jesus " in Weferlingen, about eight kilometers away, is the closest Catholic place of worship. The former Emmaus chapel is used profanely today.
