history

Frenz is first mentioned in a document in 1104. A church has been handed down since the 13th century. In the register of assets of the Cologne archbishops , the Liber valoris , the Frenz Chapel is listed in 1308 under the Deanery Jülich . In 1533 the place belongs to the parish of the neighboring village Lamersdorf . Frenz became its own parish in 1863. The two-aisled church, built at the beginning of the 18th century, was badly damaged by an earthquake in 1878 and later demolished. The current parish church of St. Nikolaus was built in 1903 and contains furnishings from the original church of the noblemen of Frenz; The patron saint is St. Nicholas of Myra . The Matronenstein Dea Sunucsal is worth seeing . The church was consecrated on May 28th, 1906. In 1999 the church received a new organ from the workshop of the Swabian organ builder Reinhart Tzschöckel . It has 16 stops on 2 manuals and a pedal.

At the end of the 18th century, Frenz came to the canton of Eschweiler in the Département de la Roer , then in 1815 to the district of Düren in the administrative district of Aachen . On January 1, 1972, the place is incorporated into Inden and has been part of the Jülich District Court since then . The resettlement of the villages of Altdorf and Inden, which began in 1991, was completed in 1999 and the newly created village of Inden / Altdorf lies in the area between the villages of Frenz, Lamersdorf and Lucherberg , which are arranged like a triangle , whereby the aim is to merge the four villages.

The sandstone gable of a Roman burial house from the 2nd half of the 2nd century was found in Frenz . It is exhibited today in the Rheinisches Landesmuseum Bonn . At the site of a Roman chariot grave, a large Roman burial ground was apparently destroyed while the road was being built. A body burial not far from the wagon grave was without gifts. According to a report by H. Lehner in the RAB's local files , several skeletons without additions were observed.
