Building history

The original church was built from 1887 to 1889 according to a design by the architect Wilhelm Hector ( Saarbrücken-St. Johann ) in neo-Romanesque style. As it was, as is not uncommon in other places, by far not sufficient in size until the end of the 1960s due to the steadily growing number of parishioners, it was enlarged from 1968 to 1972. This time the architect Peter Van Stipelen was commissioned. Everything from the third longship bay was torn down and replaced by two triangular transepts . A new apse was also built.
