Zur schmerzhaften Mutter Gottes

The building gained recognition as an architectural heritage monument in North Rhine-Westphalia, preserving its medieval construction techniques and religious significance.

The church name translates to 'To the Sorrowful Mother of God,' reflecting its dedication to the Virgin Mary and her maternal suffering.

Regular mass services and religious ceremonies take place within the church, which maintains standard opening hours for both worship and architectural appreciation.
