The patronage "Assumption of Mary" of this church refers to one of the many commemorative days or feast days in honor of the Mother of God Mary. It goes back to the feast of their physical acceptance into heaven, which the Church celebrates annually on August 15th. In many rural areas it is common for the people to collect herbal bundles (called "Kruggweusch" in the Rhenish dialect) on this day and bless them in the festival service.

Hall building made of quarry stone, built in 1946. Fits well in the late medieval town.

The chapel was built between 1946 and 1950 at a new location, following plans by the Mayen architect Helmut Goldtschmidt (1918-2005), as a successor to the old, dilapidated St. Stanislaus Chapel. As early as 1936, there were plans to build the new, larger chapel at a different location.

In 1939, the new building was approved by the Episcopal Vicariate General, but construction had to be postponed due to the outbreak of World War II. The foundation stone was laid on August 4, 1946. The building application was subsequently approved by the Mayen District Building Authority on January 19, 1949. The interior furnishings were retained from the old St. Stanislaus Chapel. After a long construction phase, the Chapel of the Assumption of Mary was ceremoniously consecrated on November 30, 1950.
In 1975, the chapel received a new roof, new bells in 1983, and new windows had to be installed in 1985. From October 1992 to April 1993, the chapel was completely renovated. The current altar was erected and consecrated in 1994. Source: kuladig.de/Objektansicht/O-86809-20140228-3
