The history of the church in Wolf
In 1482, a dispute arose between the monastery and the village of Wolf. Negotiations were then held to find a solution. An agreement was reached that Wolf would receive a Servatius chapel named „an de Wiedenhof“. The Kogelherren built the wine cellar, which they could use for economic purposes. The municipality of Wolf took over the remaining tasks. Provost Andreas Spars signed on behalf of the Kogelherren monastery community. On 24 May 1491, the chapel was consecrated by the suffragan bishop. John of Eindhoven inaugurated.
Servatius is henceforth the patron saint of this chapel. Between 1622 and 1624, Spanish troops still celebrate their services in the Monastery ruins on Göckelberg hill.
But soon, thanks to a very profitable grape harvest, the community in Wolf is able to afford its own parish church in the centre of Wolf. In Year 1685 the church will be consecrated.
| From this date onwards, the monastery church gradually falls into disrepair and is occasionally used as a quarry. Today, tourists can still visit the monastery ruins. A hike to the monastery is a lovely alternative and offers breathtaking panoramic views. |
