The Josefskapelle in Lind was expected to be completed in 1860 after the first chapel had to be demolished in 1856 due to dilapidation. The new chapel was solemnly consecrated on March 19th, 1858. In 1994, a sacristy was built east of the choir, which is used by the pastor and the altar boys to prepare for Holy Mass.
Today's church in Ettringen certainly had several predecessors at this point on the Kirchberg. In 1616 St. Maximinus is mentioned for the first time as patron. The foundation stone of today's church - according to plans by the Cologne architect Vinzenz Statz - was laid on June 9th, 1857 and 4 years later, on September 4th, 1861, the inauguration by Bishop Wilhelm Arnoldi took place.
