Meaning of the place name
There are different versions of the origin and meaning of the place name Kirmutscheid. The teachers at the elementary school in Kirmutscheid explained the name in the following way. "Kir" means the curve (turn) in dialect, which should mean the curve or the "curve" that the Trierbach makes around the church. The word “courage” describes the right to dig for treasure. But it can also be called a mountain.
After all, “scheid” probably refers to the border between Kurköln and Kurtrier , which the Trierbach partially formed here.
