Am Rand von Meckenheim direkt am Bahnhof befindet sich ein Kongresssaal der Zeugen Jehovas. Wöchentlich werden hier circa 1500 Gäste aus ganz Deutschland belehrt und im Glauben gestärkt. Darüber hinaus dient der Saal der Meckenheimer Gemeinde für Zusammenkünfte und gemeinsame Gebete.

In dem Gebäude befand sich früher die Fliesenfabrik Wessel-Servais. Nach einigen Jahren Leerstand kauften die Zeugen Jehovas 1985 das verwilderte Gelände und bauten das ehemalige Fabrikgebäude zum Kongresssaal um. 1987 wurde es eröffnet.
On the outskirts of Meckenheim, directly at the train station, there is a congress hall of Jehovah's Witnesses. Every week around 1500 guests from all over Germany are taught here and strengthened in their faith. In addition, the hall is used by the Meckenheim congregation for gatherings and common prayers.

The Wessel-Servais tile factory used to be in the building before. After a few years of vacancy, the Jehovah's Witnesses bought the overgrown site in 1985 and converted the former factory building into a congress hall. It was opened in 1987.
