General
The church , built in 1871, used to stand on Monschauer Straße , around the current house number 175 (until 2017 there was a parish and youth home there). The previous chapel was elevated to a parish church on November 22, 1866. Around 1870 it was decided to replace the dilapidated and too small chapel by building a new church in the same place. The church planned by Vincenz Statz was consecrated on December 6, 1871 and demolished in March 1958 due to dilapidation. Melchior Pleuß, owner of the Pleußmühle , operated a hammer mill with a roller mill from October 1, 1946 to December 1, 1950 in the leased old Rölsdorf church . The parish and youth hostel was built on this site in 1959/1960 and was demolished in August 2017.
Since the old church was too small, the Cologne architect Hans Peter Fischer began planning the current church in the 1920s. The foundation stone was laid on January 24, 1929. The inauguration followed on November 3rd, 1929. In 1952 the church got an organ from Josef Weimbs Orgelbau . In 1967 the choir room was redesigned according to plans by the Düren architect Helmut Lüttgen.
The single-nave brick church is built in a north-south direction. The 30 m high square church tower is located in the southeast corner . The building has a gable roof and the aisles have flat roofs. In the west of the building, the Brigida chapel - Brigida is the second parish priest - accompanies the main building, on which the sacristy is leaned in the east .
The outer walls are made of masonry (facade brick exposed masonry). The ceilings above the side aisles, the sacristy and the Brigida chapel are solid, the nave ceiling is made of a wooden construction.
The construction costs totaled 140,000 Reichsmarks. The church has 420 seats and 700 standing places and is 132 m above sea level.
