The worm supplied numerous mills with water over a river length of 53 km . The source of the worm is south of Aachen at 265 m above sea level. The confluence with the Rur is in the town of Kempen in the town of Heinsberg at 32 m above sea level. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, worm straightening was carried out. The curving, now and then meandering course of the river disappeared in favor of a simple route . The river length shortened and the flow speed increased.

Local history

Kogenbroich used to belong to the Jülich office of Randerath . Little is known about the history of the place in the parish of Kraudorf. He belonged to the lordship and the court of Randerath.

Kogenbroich had a total of 89 inhabitants in 1828, 152 inhabitants in 1852 and the place belonged to the mayor's office of Randerath.

Church history

The parish of St. Gertrud Kraudorf is made up of the towns of Kraudorf, Kogenbroich, Nirm, Hoven, Leerodt and Zumdahl . The majority of the population consists of Catholics .

In 1451 a Kyrche zo Kruytdorp was mentioned for the first time . The floor was also re-laid at this time. With the same type of tile that the Premonstratensian monastery in Heinsberg received. An architectural study from 1950 shows a hall church 11 m long and 7 m wide. The foundations consist of quartzite sandstone, limestone, Roman stone and roof tiles. The dating is roughly in the 10./11. Century, because only one day was available for the examinations. An older wooden church is suspected.

In 1521 the priest Hubert Hutmann († 1563) was presented by the duke of Jülich , the dean of Susteren, as pastor for Kraudorf. He was also vicar of the Johannes Altar in Randerath. When the diocese of Aachen was established in 1804, the parish came from the diocese of Liège to the new diocese and was assigned to the canton of Geilenkirchen. When the re-established Archdiocese of Cologne undertook a reorganization in 1827, the canton became the Deanery of Geilenkirchen. Since then the parish has belonged to this deanery.

In the course of the parish reforms in the Diocese of Aachen, the formerly independent Catholic parish of St. Gertrud Kraudorf was incorporated into the Community of Parishes (GdG) St. Bonifatius Geilenkirchen .
