history

In the Taxa generalis subsidiorum cleri Trevirensis , a directory of ecclesiastical property (monasteries, churches, etc.) of the Archdiocese of Trier , a church in Tettingen was mentioned from 1330. The first documentary mention of a parish church dedicated to St. Remigius in Tettingen was found in a visitation report of the Perl regional chapter from 1569. Due to the dilapidation , the church was replaced in 1680 by a new building at the same location.

In 1851 a new church was built on the road from Sinz to Perl on the outskirts of Tettingen. The plans for this were presented by master builder Josef Weis ( Trier ).

During the Second World War in 1944 the war front ran near the church, so that artillery shells brought down half of the church tower and the roof , windows and interior fittings were destroyed. In the years after the war, the church was restored and, from 1951 to 1952, it was subjected to extensive restoration and conversion work, with a flat beam ceiling being installed. Another restoration took place in 1991.
