history
A chapel in Hahn was first mentioned in 1261. This chapel was already dedicated to Mary, the Mother of God. In 1280 Johann von Frankenberg and his wife donated their land, meadow and forest tithes to the chapel. At the same time, the abbot of the imperial abbey Kornelimünster transferred a courtyard to the chapel so that a monk of the monastery could live there and work there in pastoral care. Until the abbey was dissolved in 1795, monks from Kornelimünster looked after the Hahn chapel community.
In 1804 Hahn was raised to an independent parish . Since then, Friesenrath has also been a branch of the parish.
In 1880 the old medieval church, which was elevated to a parish church in 1804, was demolished. By 1881, today's parish church was built according to plans by the Cologne diocesan master builder Vincenz Statz . In 1989 and 1990 the exterior of the church building was completely renovated.
