chapel | Schutzengelkapelle Aremberg

The Heimbach reservoir offers a perfect combination of nature experience and relaxation - with hiking trails, pedal boat and canoe tours as well as a detour to the impressive art nouveau power station in Heimbach.

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.

Located in front of the brewery and next to the restaurant, Simonbraeu, is the Bitburger Beerfountain. The fountain, which was built in 1937 by the Mayener sculptor, Professor Burger, originally stood on the Marktplatz, the town square. After WW II, it was erected to its present location.

The chapel was built in 1826 and rebuilt several times at the beginning of the 20th century.

The church was rebuilt in 1762 in Antweiler. Most recently it was completely renovated and restored in the early seventies for the 1000th anniversary in 1975.
