Church history

The parish of St. Anna Schierwaldenrath has been independent since 1804. The majority of the population consists of Catholics .

In 1789, the residents of Schierwaldenrath petitioned their local pastor from Breberen to support the construction of their own chapel . Because of the long way to the church, he complied with this request. In 1804 Schierwaldenrath was raised to an independent parish. Between 1887 and 1888, the chapel built in 1790 was replaced by a new church based on plans by Erasmus Schüller and consecrated on July 30, 1889.

In the course of the parish reforms in the Diocese of Aachen , the formerly independent Catholic parish of St. Anna Schierwaldenrath was incorporated into the community of the Catholic parishes of Gangelt.
