history
A church in Wegberg was first mentioned in 1361 together with a parish . This church was probably an early Romanesque hall church . In the first half of the 16th century, this church was replaced by a late Gothic hall church . Today's bell tower was built in the 17th century. The church was rebuilt between 1856 and 1857. The south aisle was rebuilt and a transept with a new choir in the neo-Gothic style was added. The architect Gustav Faulenbach from Aachen provided the plans for these conversions . On February 26, 1945 the church was damaged due to the Second World War . This damage could be repaired by 1956.
Since January 1, 2013 Wegberg is no longer an independent parish. It was merged with some other former parishes to form the parish of St. Martin Wegberg. Since then, St. Peter and Paul has been the parish church of this new large parish.
Furnishing
Almost all of the furnishings from the second half of the 19th century have been preserved in the interior. Of these, the neo-Gothic high altar , the pulpit, the wall tiles with ornamental motifs, and the stencil painting are to be mentioned. The windows are works by the artist Ernst Jansen-Winkeln from 1950. The organ with its 21 registers was created in 1935 by the Aachen-based organ building company Stahlhut.
