history

A church in Kirchberg, Kiriberge , is first mentioned in a document in 922. Nothing more is known about this church. In the 12th or 13th century, a one- nave church in the Romanesque style was built on the same site . Around 1520 the building was rebuilt in the late Gothic style . The north aisle, the three-sided choir in the east and the three-storey bell tower in the west were added. Around 1900 the church became too small for the steadily growing population. For this reason, the old church was extended to the south from 1912 to 1914 by a three - aisled neo - Gothic church based on plans by Edmund Renard . The foundation stone for the extension building was laid on September 8, 1912. During the Second World War , the church building suffered severe war damage in 1944, which was repaired by 1950. In the years 1971 to 1974 the church was completely restored.

Until December 31, 2012, Kirchberg 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

In the church there are four baroque altars, namely a high altar from 1740, a Marien Altar (side altar) from 1660, a Donatus altar from southern Germany, which was created after 1750 and came to Kirchberg in 1930 and a St. Family altar. Gustav Fünders created the windows of the church in the 1950s.
