Herz-Jesu-Kapelle Notscheid

Since the beginning of the 19th century at the latest, there have been efforts to build a separate chapel in Notscheid, as can be seen from a submission by the Linz Curatus Kamps from 1803 to the Vicariate General Limburg . The Vicar General was of the right bank of the concerns of the responsible, but in the result of the upheavals French time -resolved Archdiocese of Trier . In the same year, a citizen of Notscheid donated a house and 1000 Reichstaler to build and maintain a chapel; according to other sources it was about the upkeep of the school. The foundation was only redeemed a few years later. In 1817 the Linz district administrator Philipp Freiherr von Hilgers asked the widow to transfer the property. The house was used for school purposes, the interest from the capital was used for the maintenance of the school. The foundation was published in the official gazette of the Prussian government in Koblenz in 1830:

“ The King's Majesty has left the acceptance of the Nussbaum couple in Notscheid, Linz district, for the construction and maintenance of a Catholic chapel there, to 59 Rthlr. valued property and a capital of 1000 Rthlr., for use for the specific purpose, to approve, which is thereby brought to the public knowledge. Coblenz August 22, 1830. "

The chapel was not built until 1877; the neo-Gothic building was consecrated to the “Heart of Jesus” on July 7, 1878 and handed over to its intended purpose. In March 1945 the chapel was badly damaged, and in 1968 a lightning strike destroyed the roof turret. In 1990/1991 the chapel was completely renovated.

Today the chapel belongs to the "Catholic Parish of St. Katharina and St. Michael Vettelschoss" and is a listed building .
