Kirchdaun is a district and a local district of the city of Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler in the district of Ahrweiler in Rhineland-Palatinate . Kirchdaun was an independent municipality until 1969.

history

It is believed that the name Kirchdaun is of Celtic or Gallo-Roman origin. It contains the root word -dunum , which means something like fortification in height , and probably referred to the surrounding, prominent hills. Two settlements in the area of ​​Kirchdaun are known from Roman times, probably of individual farmsteads. In 1105, but no later than 1140, the Counts of Are seem to have dominated the vineyards in Kirchdaun and Gimmigen . On March 31, 1131, Pope Innocent II confirmed the Bonn St. Cassius-Stift as canon, the fourth part of a foundation in the church of Duna. In 1155 Gimmigen is described as belonging to the Remagen / Sinzig tax authorities . With the aforementioned pledge, Kirchdaun and Gimmigen leave the Villification Association of the County of Neuenahr in order to remain part of the Landskron rule until 1801 .

For more than a millennium , the famous long-distance road, which was heavily frequented in the Middle Ages , ran through Kirchdaun as the Coronation Road or Heerstraße Frankfurt-Aachen or "Imperial Road" (for Kirchdaun 1493) . At Kirchdaun there was a junction in the direction of Remagen into the Rhine Valley. Presumably because of the Heerstrasse, Kirchdaun was fortified with ramparts, moats and gates. After Kirchdaun originally belonged to the Counts of Neuenahr , in 1272 parts of Kirchdaun's manorial estate passed into the hands of Gerhard III. from Landskron over. Until the time of the French Revolution , the Lords of Landskron were to be the owners and landlords of Kirchdaun.

Kirchdaun subsequently passed into changing hands. In 1638 the Duke of Jülich acquired the sovereign rights to the place. Kirchdaun was badly plundered during the Thirty Years War . Between 1666 and 1668 the Black Death, the plague, raged in Kirchdaun. A total of 85 people fell victim to the epidemic. The first school was built in 1680. From 1739 to 1793, iron ore and non-ferrous metals - especially lead and copper - were mined in Kirchdaun's underground mine , especially at the Goldgrube, Scheid, the Arget and the Urbers iron mines.

In 1748 the nave of the parish church of St. Lambertus, which was in great need of renovation, was rebuilt. In 1842, the church was damaged even more after a major flood. The church was renovated from 1908 to 1921, and the tower was demolished in 1928 due to its dilapidation. Gimmigen is parish after Kirchdaun.

On June 7, 1969, Kirchdaun was incorporated into the new town of Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler.
