Local history

Süsterseel used to belong to the Born office in Jülich . In the 14th century in Süsterseel fiefdoms of lay domination Heinsberg that the noble family of Schaesberg belonged. In 1448 the court at Süsterseel and the mill were fiefs of the Born man chamber . In the 13th century, the patronage rights to the St. Hubert Church were held by the Lords of Valkenburg , a branch of the Lords of Heinsberg. In 1828 Süsterseel had a total of 575 inhabitants. The municipality of Süsterseel belonged to the Selfkant office.

From April 23, 1949 to July 31, 1963, the Selfkant and thus also the municipality of Süsterseel were under Dutch contract management. The repatriation took place on August 1, 1963 after payment of 280 million D-Marks .

Church history

The parish of St. Hubert Süsterseel was an independent parish . The majority of the population consists of Catholics .

The exact age of the St. Hubert Süsterseel church is not known. The patronage of the church lay with the Lords of Valkenburg. In 1533 the church had two vicarages , one for the altar of Mary, the second for the altar of St. Mother Anna. In 1702 the church was devastated in the War of the Spanish Succession. Today the church belongs to the Gangelt deanery.

After the war damage in the 17th and 18th centuries, a new church was built in 1722. Because this building was too small for the number of church visitors in the 19th century, the nave was extended to the east and a new tower was added to the west according to a plan by Johann Burkhart from Aachen. Various conversions followed over the years. The last renovation was in 1979, when the choir was also rebuilt.

In the course of the parish reforms in the Diocese of Aachen, the formerly independent Catholic parish of St. Hubert Süsterseel was incorporated into the Community of Parishes (GdG) St. Servatius Selfkant .
