After 1792, French revolutionary troops occupied the Austrian Netherlands , to which the Duchy of Luxembourg and thus also Bath belonged at that time, and annexed it in 1795 .

religion

Bath, Catholic parish church of St. Eligius by cathedral builder Julius Wirtz

The parish bath was originally a branch of Ordorf . During a visit to the parish of Ordorf in 1570, the "Badenhem" chapel already had its own churchyard. The chapel was then dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary and had three altars. Since 1738 St. Eligius as patron of the chapel. During the so-called French period , the residents of Bade applied for a separation from the Ordorf parish. When the church was reorganized in 1803, Bade became a succursal parish (auxiliary parish). Today's neo-Romanesque Bade church was built between 1907 and 1908 according to plans by the Trier cathedral builder Julius Wirtz . Shortly afterwards, Wirtz built the church of St. Antonius von Padua (Niedersaubach) in Saarland, based on the Baden model, in the years 1909 to 1910 , albeit smaller, at least in terms of the architectural interior and exterior design as well as the sacred building of a comparable style. Today's Baden parish has no branches. It is part of the parish association of parishes around Kyllburg, where the pastor's office is located. The parish bath belongs to the diocese of Trier .
