history

The Fleuth is an old district. The street name "Im Pesch" is derived from the Latin "pasculum" "willow". The Flamm property in Vichterstraße 29/31 in the area of ​​today's Fleuth is the ancestral home of Jakob Flamm, who in 1660 was appointed lay judge, mayor and church master of the Kornelimünster imperial abbey . These offices remained with the Flamm family until they were dissolved. The historic Fleuth, however, belonged to the Duchy of Jülich . After the abbey Kornelimünster was dissolved, Fleuth and Mausbach first belonged to Mairie Gressenich , then to the mayor's office of Gressenich. With the incorporation of Gressenich on January 1, 1972, Mausbach and Fleuth came to Stolberg.

religion

The parish of Mausbach begins in Fleuth. The Capuchin Father Arnold Salmagne from Mausbach brought a miraculous image of Our Lady to his hometown from his monastery in Aldenhoven, which the French had dissolved in 1802, which is still venerated there today. He received permission from Aachen Bishop Marc Antoine Berdolet (1802–1809) to read mass in the chapel in Fleuth. In 1806 Fleuth came to the Mausbach parish that had been established the previous year.
