The Catholic Chapel of the Immaculate Conception in Rolandswerth , a district of the city of Remagen in the Rhineland-Palatinate district of Ahrweiler , is a brick building from 1865. It is located on a steep hillside above the railway line on the left bank of the Rhine between Brunnenstrasse (entrance) and Marienhöhe Street . Although Rolandswerth is not in North Rhine-Westphalia, the chapel belongs to the Catholic parish of St. Martin and St. Severin, with its seat in Bad Godesberg in the Bonn city dean of the Archdiocese of Cologne .

history

The chapel was built as a private chapel in the order and on the property of the Cologne merchants Jacob and Ludwig Lützenkirchen that a villa owned in the immediate vicinity (Brunnenstraße 14). In 1867 they donated the building to the Archdiocese of Cologne , within which it passed into the possession of the Mehlem parish of St. Severin in 1932 . In the 1930s, the chapel was expanded to include a transept and revised. In the course of this, the apse was equipped in 1936 with a design by a sister from the Nonnenwerth monastery with a representation of Christ as a mosaic , which is a special attraction of the chapel. In 1985/86 there was another renovation, which was accompanied by an increase in the chapel.

The chapel stands as a cultural monument under monument protection .
