In the year 941 Brenig was first mentioned as a parish . In this document, Archbishop Wichfrid of Cologne bequeathed the church and the tithe to the canons of St. Cäcilienstift in Cologne. In 954, the Archbishop of Cologne, Bruno I, brought the relics of St. Bishop Evergislus from Tongeren to the Breniger subsidiary church. As a result, this saint was introduced as a patron .
