In 1881 the St. Mathiasbruderschaft Hardt built a chapel on Hardter Landstrasse, which is actually more of a wayside shrine or holy house. The Mathias Chapel is the starting and arrival point of the annual pilgrimage on foot to the grave of the Apostle Matthias in Trier.

In 1881 the St. Matthias Brotherhood in Hardt built a chapel on the road to Rheindahlen, which is actually more of a wayside shrine or holy house, at a building price of 265.94 marks.

This is all the more remarkable because the parish of Hardt was without a priest at that time and Prussia was still in a culture war with the Catholic Church.

Inside was a statue of St. Matthias, which was brought to the parish church of St. Nicholas in 1938/39 and today stands on the Matthias altar in the church.

The icon shown in the chapel today was made by the Hardter sculptor Jo Wirth, who also designed the signpost at Lindenhof.

In 2015 the chapel was extensively renovated.
