Steffeshausen

Steffeshausen is a village in the Belgian Eifel with 122 inhabitants, which belongs to the municipality of Burg-Reuland in the German-speaking Community. Steffeshausen probably got its name from the former lords of Steffeshausen. The village was first mentioned in 1214 in the name of "Verric de Stevenshusen". Steffeshausen is remarkable, among other things, due to the fact that the small village has two churches. The parish church of St. Peter was probably already present in the 12th century, was rebuilt in 1565 and extended by a sacristy in 1776. In 1891 the church was enlarged again. For this purpose, the west side was extended by three meters and equipped with two turrets. The church received its present appearance in 1935. It was not until the end of the 20th century that the Sacred Heart Church was built on the initiative of Pastor Paul Schoonbroodt and consecrated in 1991.
