history

The residents of Grebben had wanted to build their own chapel since 1910. With the founding of the chapel building association in 1929, the plan was put into practice. The municipality of Oberbruch supported the erection of a memorial for the deceased and missing of the First World War with a donation of 1000 DM . Numerous donations and a lot of personal contribution drove the project forward. On September 2, 1934, the foundation stone was laid .

The chapel building association made several purchases over the years.

  • In 1955 a wooden ceiling was built into the chapel at a cost of DM 2,500
  • 1956 New windows were installed, costs 1,000 DM
  • 1957 erection of a memorial plaque , costs 600 DM
  • 1958 Acquisition of a monstrance , costs 480 DM
  • 1968 Acquisition of a harmonium , costs 580 DM
  • 1972 Establishment of a communion bank , costs 1,250 DM
  • 1982 A repair on the chapel tower, cost 1,850 DM
