    The Sacred Heart Statue is a statue in the town of Appeltern. In 1906, the Saint Servatius Church where the statue stands was designed. The church was built in the following years. In 1930 the Sacred Heart statue was placed on the forecourt of the church.

      Such a small sacred monument shows the faithful veneration of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, which was once deeply rooted in popular piety. This tradition can be traced back three and a half centuries in church history. The arms of Jesus, often spread wide on these statues, are not meant to remind us of the crucified Christ, but rather to represent an invitation to the loving embrace of the Son of God; here in Appeltern, however, Jesus has placed one hand on his heart and raised the other in a blessing gesture.
