Autobahnkapelle „Jesus – Brot des Lebens“

The Autobahnkapelle Jesus-Brot des Lebens stands at the Heseper Moor rest area along the A31 motorway between Emden and Bottrop, accessible from north to south.

The chapel opened in November 2000 following the creation of a support association in 1997 that planned and financially supported its construction.

The structure serves both Protestant and Catholic congregations, reflecting regional cooperation between different Christian denominations in the Emsland area.

Located at a rest stop with parking for cars, buses, and trucks, the chapel remains open 24 hours daily and accommodates 50 visitors for reflection and prayer.

The building follows traditional Emsland architecture with peat-fired bricks, while its chimney functions as a bell tower and large windows depict biblical themes.
