history
The first evidence of settlement dates back to the 5th to 3rd century BC. During the Roman period , the mining of tuff began in the Brohl valley. The springs arising in the region ( St. Antonius (stone) source or Tönisstein source , popularly known as Tillerborn and Helpert ) were particularly valued as springs with healing properties during the Roman settlement period and are considered the oldest Roman springs in Germany (more than 2050 years old, as evidenced by coin finds from Caesar and Constantine I times 48 BC to 408 AD in the Roman spring version rediscovered in 1862).
Settlement during the Franconian period during the early Middle Ages is attested by a Franconian burial ground discovered in 1993 south of Kell.
Kell was first mentioned in a document under the name "Chella" in 1105 when St. Stephen's Monastery in Mainz exchanged goods with the Ravengiersburg monastery . 1147 confirmed Pope Eugenius III. the monastery of Laach owned a "Hof zu Kell". In 1330 a church was built, a second took place in 1744–1745, dedicated to St. Dedicated to Lubentius . Politically, Kell and the surrounding settlements without the Geishügel (to eat) belonged to the Electoral Cologne Office of Andernach and was often given as a fief. According to old oral traditions, the original village is said to have been located in the Pleitsdorf corridor area and was also called that. It is possible that almost the entire place fell victim to a contagious disease such as a plague wave lasting several years. The few surviving healthy people had moved north to the Kell Castle in the area of today's Kell, the new village took the name of the castle. The castle was west of the church, secured by the field name "Burgfrieden". Heinrich von Kell (cellar coat of arms; Schöffe in Andernach 1212), Emmerich von Kell (1321 Schöffe) and Ruprecht von Kell (1488) belonged to the family of Kell. Lack of water or the destruction of Pleitsdorf by the Swedes in 1632 during the Thirty Years War are said to have been the cause of the move north. In 1670 Kell was under the feudal rule of the Waldbott von Bassenheim .
At the time of the French Revolution , Kell had just under 80 houses and around 350 residents. In addition to arable land, forest and meadows, the place had about four hectares of vineyards. In 1798, Kell fell to the canton of Andernach , newly formed under the French government , which belonged to the Arrondissement de Coblence in the Département de Rhin-et-Moselle .
Due to the treaties concluded at the Congress of Vienna , the Rhineland and with it Kell came to the Kingdom of Prussia in 1815 .

Kell had 392 residents.
As part of the Rhineland-Palatinate municipal reform that began in the mid-1960s, the Brohl valley and the newly formed association municipality Brohltal went to the district of Ahrweiler ; after an almost unanimous vote by the local council, Kell came to Andernach as a district and local district on November 7, 1970 .
