Church history

The parish of St. Marien Gillrath is made up of the villages of Gillrath, Hatterath, Nierstrasse and Panneschopp. The majority of the population consists of Catholics .

Until the end of the 18th century the place belonged to the parish of Geilenkirchen. When the first diocese of Aachen was organized in 1804 by Bishop Berdolet , Gillrath became a parish in the canton of Geilenkirchen. The first pastor was Heinrich Joseph Aretz. After the archdiocese of Cologne was re-established in 1827, the canton became the deanery of Geilenkirchen. Since then the parish has belonged to this deanery.

Around 1790 a single-nave hall church with a three-sided choir was built in Gillrath in the west. In 1846 a two-story tower was added. On June 12, 1851 was the ceremonial inauguration of the church. After 1922 the church was expanded.

In the course of the parish reforms in the Diocese of Aachen, the formerly independent Catholic parish of St. Marien Gillrath was incorporated into the Community of Parishes (GdG) St. Bonifatius Geilenkirchen .
