building

Since the church property is on a slope, the community center could be moved to the basement. The entrance to the church is on the north side. On the east wall of the east aisle there is a representation of the church patron St. Matthias. The windows come from the artist Hubert Schaffmeister : On the left in the tabernacle room there is a window with symbols of the multiplication of bread . To the right of the tabernacle room is a window with a motif of the wedding of Canaa. In the west wall there is a window with a motif of the apocalypse . Behind the altar on the choir wall hangs a modern crucifix by Egbert Verbeek , who also designed the tabernacle. In a niche in the south wall there is a protective mantle madonna .

The octagonal bell tower is made of exposed concrete.

prehistory

With the increasing settlement of people on the Hackenberg, the establishment of a separate parish made sense. First, the Catholics used the provisional Protestant parish hall built in 1970, which was next to the Hackenberg elementary school. After the Protestant parish had moved to its newly built parish center on Advent in 1976, the Catholic parish was the sole user of the building. This building was later demolished. On the initiative of the Dutch Catholic priest, Father Habets, and his Protestant colleague Wolfgang von Woyski , thought was given to a simultaneous church with a community center for Protestants and Catholics. The Archdiocese of Cologne, however, rejected these considerations as well as the subsequent idea that a common parish hall could be built directly between the two churches. After that, the Protestant parish abandoned its plan to build the parish center at the height where St. Matthias is located today, sold part of its property there to the parish of St. Matthias and now decided in favor of the center of Hackenberg.

Until 1981, the parish apartment and the parish rooms of the Catholic parish were rented in the center of Hackenberg.
