Antoniuskapelle Oerlinghausen

  • Church
The small Catholic church was built in 1922 and later artistically designed by sculptor Berthold Müller-Oerlinghausen and his wife, Jenny Wiegmann.
The St. Anthony Chapel was built in 1922 and decorated in the following years by Berthold Müller-Oerlinghausen and his wife Jenny Wiegmann.
In 1975, Berthold Müller-Oerlinghausen wrote about what the chapel meant to the two artists: “The entire chapel is a declaration of love from two young people who found something in the church that they had not known before—or rather, something they had not been aware of before. This made them so happy deep down that everything they did was shaped by this joy...”

Decades after the chapel’s completion, Berthold Müller-Oerlinghausen looked back and called it “the little chapel where my artistic and religious journeys began in equal measure.”
