history

A wooden church destroyed in the 9th century was in the 11th / 12th. Century by a hall church in stone with a rectangular choir replaced. In the 13th century the church was enlarged with side aisles . The west tower and a Gothic choir were built around 1500. In 1716 the church burned down completely and was rebuilt in 1721. Due to the dilapidation, the builder Johann Peter Cremer was entrusted with the planning of a new church in 1827 . The old church tower was incorporated into the new church. The benedication took place on September 17, 1835, and the solemn consecration on May 7, 1852. War damage from 1945 was repaired by 1949. A renovation under the direction of Leo Hugot from Aachen was carried out in 1981/82. The new altar was dedicated on September 12, 1982 .
