history

In 1896 they thought about a prayer room in Corres and asked Heinrich Dolmetsch for advice, but their plans for a chapel building in 1899 were discarded because they were too costly. New construction plans then came from the successors of the late Heinrich Dolmetsch, the son Theodor Dolmetsch and Felix Schuster. The plan provided for 50 seats and 25 standing places. Wilhelm Laschar, lieutenant colonel and descendant of Jean Lageard, who was a co-founder of Corres, donated 10,000 marks to the church building fund, according to Mathias Köhler it was 3,000 marks. The groundbreaking ceremony took place on May 19, 1911 and the inauguration took place on September 22 of the same year. In honor of the donor Laschar, the chapel was called the Laschar Chapel.

In 1934, Professor H. Seittner from Stuttgart called for urgent renovation measures in an expert report, as the building had structural defects. The chapel was renovated in 1960 and re-consecrated on May 12th. 1973–1974 there was an extensive renovation by the architect H. Wiem from Stuttgart. An altar table, an electronic organ and new chairs were also purchased. The art historian Mathias Köhler wrote in his tribute that he regretted the redesign of the windows and that the entrance had been "spoiled".
