history

Cyriax was first mentioned in 1256 as ecclesia s [ancti] . Ciriaci ( Latin : Church of St. Cyriacus) mentioned in a document, 1353 followed by a mention as ad s. Cyriacum (Latin: with St. Cyriacus). The place was named after St. Cyriacus , a saint of consecration that also occurs frequently in the Rhineland .

A chapel of grace consecrated to the saint is said to have stood there, which was heavily visited by processions and individual pilgrims and which was said to have numerous miracles. Therefore, under Abbot Gottfried II , the Siegburg Abbey seemed suitable as a location for a provost's office . The monastery was founded in 1256.

The Topographia Ducatus Montani by Erich Philipp Ploennies , Blatt Amt Steinbach , proves that the place had a chapel , which is labeled as Cyriacy K. Carl Friedrich von Wiebeking names the court on his charter of the Duchy of Berg in 1789 as St. Cyriac Propstey . It emerges from it that the place was part of the honor of saints in the parish of Overath at that time .

The place is recorded on the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1817 as Ciriax Kp . The Prussian first recording from 1845 shows the residential area under the name Ciriax . From the Prussian new admission in 1892, the place is regularly recorded on table sheets as Ciriax , from the 1950s as Cyriax .

In 1803 the monastery was secularized due to the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss and the monastery buildings were then used for agriculture.

In 1822, 20 people lived in the place categorized as a lease and called Ziriak / Ciriax , which after the collapse of the Napoleonic administration and its replacement belonged to the Overath mayor in the Mülheim am Rhein district . For the year 1830 23 inhabitants are given for the place called Ciriac . The place, which was categorized as a courtyard in 1845 according to the overview of the government district of Cologne , had two residential buildings with 15 inhabitants at that time, all of them Catholic denominations.
