history
The Old Mother of God House, which dates back to a chapel mentioned as early as 1420, became too small for the many pilgrims at the end of the 19th century , because it only offers space for around 30 people. In addition, the state of construction left a lot to be desired, so the decision was made to build a new and significantly larger church right next to the old chapel. The New Little Mother of God House was built in 1895 and inaugurated on October 13, 1895.
The New House of Our Lady was badly damaged during World War II . The roof and the vaults collapsed, leaving only the walls. The reconstruction took place between 1951 and 1954. Instead of the vaults a flat ceiling was put in, the outside was plastered, decorative elements were chipped off.
Both the old and the new mother's worship house originally belonged to the parish of St. Anna . Since 1952, both chapels had been in the parish of the newly formed parish of St. Josef , but both chapels initially remained in the property of the Annaparre. It was not until 1963 that the chapels became the property of the parish of St. Josef. Since the parish merger of Düren's inner-city parishes in 2010, the new and old Madonna's house belong to the new large parish of St. Lukas.
The outside of the new chapel was renovated in 2008, followed by the redesign of the outdoor area and the construction of the stairs to the Mother of God house. In 2017, the interior was renovated and redesigned according to plans by architect Arno Knott from Düren. These measures were completely financed by donations, the costs amounted to 260,000 euros.

Pilgrimage to the Consolatrix afflictorum
