The church underwent extensive interior and exterior renovations in 1963.
At that time, the artificial stone flooring was also laid and the paintings were painted over with predominantly white paint.
During the interior renovation in 1993, a large part of the still existing historical room setting came to light.
The exposed remains of the ornamental paintings were sufficient to repaint them.

in 1683 St. Wendelinus and today again St. Hubertus.
In 1569 the chapel had an altar, a leaden chalice, and two foundations, one for St. Hubert and one for St. Magaretha.
In the war years 1914-1918 the old bells had to be delivered. In 1920 two new bells were commissioned from the Mark company in Brockscheid.
The bells had the tones "F" and "G". The price was 53 marks per kilo.
These bells had to be delivered again for war purposes. Two new bells were purchased in 1965/66.
The bell was switched to electrical operation at the same time. In 1979 a new harmonium was purchased for 2500 marks.
