This church, belonging to the Protestant congregation, is dedicated not to a saint, but to a biblical place: Emmaus. It plays a key role after the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, when two disciples travel there from Jerusalem. The Risen Christ (whom they do not recognize) joins them and explains the Holy Scriptures to them. In the evening, they reach Emmaus and return together. While breaking bread, the two recognize their previously unknown companion. They immediately hurry back to Jerusalem and tell the disciples who remained there about their encounter with the Lord.

"Matthias is counted among the apostles because the lot fell on him. He replaces Judas Iscariot in the list of the twelve. It's about the number twelve. At the beginning of his public ministry, Jesus had twelve apostles, one of whom fell away from him and betrayed him. The people of Israel were founded by the twelve sons (and tribes) of Jacob, the new people of God is founded on the foundation of the apostles. ... The Empress Helena brought the relics of Matthias to Trier, so there is also an apostle's grave on our side of the Alps, to which many people still make pilgrimages today. Matthias reminds us of our calling, which did not happen by chance, but at the call of God." (KOLPING Diocesan President Peter Jansen, Velbert)

The memorial is hardly noticeable when you walk past. I almost marched past it. A children's playground with a large pirate ship is being built next door. That makes you take a closer look.

The city's website explains: "Meckenheim was granted town rights in 1636 by the Archbishop of Cologne, Ferdinand of Bavaria. A visible expression of the new status was the creation of a town seal with the inscription "SIGILLUM OPPIDI MECKENHEIMENSIS". It shows two important elements of the Meckenheim coat of arms, which was created around the same time: the imperial orb and the Electorate of Cologne cross. The Meckenheim town coat of arms consists of a silver shield, which is divided into four fields by the black cross taken from the coat of arms of the Archbishops of Cologne. The cross and the colors silver and black indicate the archbishop as the sovereign, whereas the interpretation of the blue imperial orb with the golden cross is more difficult. On the one hand, the imperial orb could refer to the hereditary stewardship of the House of Wittelsbach, from which Archbishop Ferdinand came, to whom Meckenheim owed the granting of town rights. On the other hand, it could be an expression of Meckenheim's connection to the important Rhenish noble family of the Ezzonen. The Polish Queen Richeza, who came from this family, donated land in Meckenheim to the Benedictine monastery of Brauweiler, which was founded by the family. Her father was the Count Palatine of Lorraine Ezzo, whose ancestors came from the Carolingian imperial nobility. Through her mother Mathilde, a daughter of Emperor Otto II and the Empress Theophanu from Byzantium, Richeza was related to the Saxon ruling house of the Ottonians that ruled at the time."
