St. Hubertus is a Roman Catholic branch church in the Jülich district of Welldorf in the Düren district in North Rhine-Westphalia . The church is dedicated to St. Hubertus von Lüttich and belongs to the Jülich large parish of the Holy Spirit.

history

A chapel in Welldorf was only built from 1839 to 1840 as a branch church of the Güsten parish. In 1856 Welldorf finally became an independent parish. The small church became too small at the end of the 19th century. In the years 1891 and 1892, the church was expanded in a neo-Romanesque style according to plans by the Cologne architect Theodor Roß . The church was badly damaged in the Second World War. In 1974 and 1975, the hall church was considerably expanded to the north according to plans by the architect Heinz Josef Werth in a trapezoidal shape.

Until December 31, 2012 Welldorf was an independent parish. On January 1, 2013 the parish was merged with 13 other former parishes to form the parish of Heilig Geist Jülich.

Furnishing

The windows in the old part of the church date from the 1950s. They were designed by Ernst Jansen-Winkeln , among others .

Bells

In 1924 the Otto bell foundry from Hemelingen / Bremen delivered three bronze bells to Welldorf. Only the small h 'bell (today Gl. No. 4) survived the Second World War. The two larger bells were destroyed by the Nazis. In 1960 Otto cast three new bells (bells no. 1-3) for the Hubertus Church. The bells sound on f sharp '- g' - a '- h'. They have the following diameters: 1223 mm, 1027 mm, 915 mm, 810 mm. The total weight of the bells is approx. 3.2 tons.
