The first church in Kuckum is mentioned in 1535. This was a small shrine. In 1794, this was replaced by the Kreuzkapelle, a foundation of the Martin Schüller couple. This half-timbered building was demolished in 1891. As early as 1888, a chapel building association was founded to finance a new church. On October 13, 1889, the Cologne General Vicariate granted ecclesiastical building permission. On June 29, 1890, the foundation stone for the new church was finally laid. The building is a neo-Gothic hall church with a choir closed on three sides. From 1925 to 1926, a sacristy was added according to plans by Eduard Endler.
The church has belonged to the large parish of Christkönig Erkelenz since January 1, 2015. The Kuckum parish was dissolved in 2010 and added to the parish of St. Maria and Elisabeth Erkelenz, which was newly founded in 2010. This merged with the parish of St. Lambertus Erkelenz on January 1, 2015 to form the parish of Christ the King.
With effect from November 28, 2021, the Sacred Heart Church was desecrated without the usual last service. The believers had the opportunity to say goodbye to the church the day before.

The foundation stone for this church was laid in 1890.
However, it will be demolished by 2025, as it must give way to the Garzweiler open pit.

The Holy Father has announced a new document on the devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus: "which will bring together the precious reflections ... and a long history that goes back to Sacred Scripture, in order to present today to the whole Church anew this devotion full of spiritual beauty. I believe that it will do us great good to reflect on the various aspects of the Lord's love that can illuminate the path of ecclesial renewal; but they must also be able to say something meaningful to a world that seems to have lost its heart." (Pope Francis, June 5, 2023)
