Tips

Emperor Konrad II mentioned the old church in Körrenzig as early as 1029. Starting from the then probably single-nave quarry stone building, the church was expanded in eight construction phases over the centuries. It received its current form in the 17th - 18th centuries. After the construction of a new parish church, the old church had not been used since 1962 and was in danger of falling apart due to damage caused by subsidence. In 1998 the association "Save the Old Church Körrenzig e.V." was founded with the aim of renovating the old church and using it again for ecclesiastical as well as cultural purposes.

After restoration of stability by RWE Power AG and the diocese of Aachen, the extensive restoration work began, which was carried out through membership fees, donations and in-house contribution. The church was reopened in September 2005 and has been used regularly ever since. It is particularly appreciated for family celebrations such as baptisms, weddings and anniversaries due to the intimate atmosphere. The highlights of the use are the annual Marien-Octav in September and the event series "Kultur Alte Kirche". Concerts, lectures and readings take place here in the summer months.
