Wegekapelle (Boverath)
The Catholic wayside chapel is located in the field between the districts of Dremmen and Boverath in the North Rhine-Westphalian city of Heinsberg . It is a listed building as an architectural monument.
location
The Boverath Chapel is on Lütticher Straße and is in an open position about halfway between Dremmen and the hamlet of Boverath, which has been documented since the 14th century, at the junction of several streets and paths.
description
Already in the original cadastre from 1824/25 the adjacent parcel was called Hinterm Heiligenhäuschen . This must be regarded as reliable evidence of the presence of a chapel, even if the Tranchotkarte (1806/07) and the Prussian first recording (1840s) do not record such a chapel .
On the other hand, it is certain that today's chapel was often visited by believers, especially during the world wars .
The chapel, which dates from the 19th century, is a small brick building with an apsidal 3/8 end facing west, so that the interior can be viewed and entered from the neighboring crossroads to the east. The exterior has been puddled in white since the 1960s, the roof covered with earth-brown flat tiles laid out in plain tiles with clearly protruding ridged tiles. The only distinctive elements of the simple, windowless building are a German band frieze below the eaves and a small wall niche above the straight lintel wall of the door in the eastern front.
The door and interior as well as the image of an icon are modern. Associated with the building is a group of trees typical of field chapels, which can be seen from afar in the otherwise cleared hallway.
