history
Today's church in Hammer is still the first church building in the village and was built between 1862 and 1863 from the residents' own funds. The government in Aachen previously issued the building permit. In May 1920, the Hammer branch received an independent asset management. At that time the place belonged to the Eicherscheid parish . In 1932 the place received its own pastor and since 1960 Hammer has had the status of a parish vicarie and was thus completely separated from the mother parish Eicherscheid.
