history
The exact construction date of the church is not known. Rieden was first mentioned in 895 in a deed of donation from the noble widow and nun Berctrudis to the Echternach Abbey. The Romanesque architectural style suggests that it was built between the 10th and the beginning of the 13th century. A first clue can be found in the in Latin written work Dialogus miraculorum of Heisterbacher Cistercian monk Caesarius of Heisterbach where by a bell-ringer in Rieden ( campanarius in Reyde ) is mentioned. However, it is unclear whether the monk in question was active in this church.
St. Hubertus appeared for the first time in 1330 in the Taxa generalis : Jakob von Koblenz obliged the church to pay two pfennigs and two hellers . Another mention can be found in the protocol of a visit that the archdeacon Johann von Finstingen carried out in 1475.
In 1473 Rieden - and with it the church patronage - went to Gerlach von Breitbach , who belonged to the Bürresheim rulership . During this late Gothic period , builders built the choir . It is the only component that has survived in the 21st century and is used as a baptistery .
1757 built church , the 30 meter long and about 8.40 meters wide nave initially back to then build it entirely new. Only the choir and the church tower were initially preserved. The latter was demolished in 1856 during a further expansion and replaced by an extension. However, this work was short-lived.
In the course of the economic boom, the number of inhabitants rose sharply at the beginning of the 20th century. A building association was founded around 1900 to develop plans for a completely new building. The work dragged on until 1914 and was ruined by the beginning of the First World War . After the end of the war, the parish decided to dismantle the extension built in 1856 and instead to build a three-aisled nave according to plans by the architect Rohé . In order to support the financing, the men's choir in Rieden performed the Passion and thus established a tradition that will continue in the 21st century. The consecration took place on May 16, 1930 by the Trier bishop Franz Rudolf Bornewasser . However, the work was not yet finished at this point. Because of the Second World War , the tower was not completed until 1949 according to plans by the Cologne cathedral builder Willy Weyres .
In 1955 the parish renovated the interior based on a design by KP Böhr . The chancel was also redesigned. The consecration took place on September 4, 1955 under the direction of the abbot from Maria Laach , Basilius Ebel . The work on the building did not end there: in 1974 the belfry was repaired; ten years later the interior was renovated again. In 1989 craftsmen re-covered the church roof and repaired the walls of the nave. In 1992 the church got a new floor, in 1993 an improved heating system.

In the western wall there are grave crosses from the years 1666 and 1720. The walls were made of stone , which was plastered smooth and bright . From this stand out pilaster strips made of dark Riedener tuff , which emphasize the height of the building.
The interior is illuminated by two segment-arched windows on the north and south sides and a circular window with a quatrefoil on the east side.
At the transition to the eaves there is an arched frieze that opens downwards . The hipped roof is covered with black slate; A small opening can be seen on the east side.
In the lower area of the nave, which is made of light tuff, there are six arched windows on the north and south sides, each complemented by a semicircular opening in the upper aisle . The lead glass windows come from the Binsfeld stained glass workshop in Trier and show, for example, Cäcilia of Rome or Judas Thaddäus . A portal with a central risalit is on the west side of the church. At the height of the roof ridge of the side aisles is a continuous cornice , above it another opening. The gable is adorned with five panels with a cross on the roof ridge . The nave has a simple saddle roof with three windows on each side.

Furnishing
The former nave was given a baroque ribbed vault in the 18th century and is used as a choir in the 21st century. The pulpit dates from 1924 and was changed in 1955 by the stonemason Josef Nett . A larger than life crucifix hangs above the massive altar block . The rest of the equipment is mostly modern. There is an organ on the west gallery .
