history

This article or section needs to be revised. Details should be given on the talk page. Please help to improve it , and then remove this flag.

Kripp was first mentioned in documents in 1474, when imperial troops observed the opposite city of Linz during the Burgundian War , the place Kripp was only heavily populated at the beginning of the 18th century . The first house was built in 1706 by the Linz citizen Johann Breuer, this year is the founding date of the place Kripp.

The name of the village can be traced back to the days of towing , as a feeding station ( crib ) was set up for the towing horses on the spot . Kripp was an important stopover for towing ships between Cologne and Koblenz. Towing means that you pull ships upstream with horses. The horses wore flaps on their left eyes to protect them from backlight reflected in the Rhine and from blindness.

The Caledonia was the first steamship that passed Kripp on November 13, 1817, because the Defiance had only made it to Cologne . When even more steamships were available and sailed on the Rhine, especially due to the expansion of the fleet by Haniel and Stinnes , the hauliers failed to understand the necessary structural changes and in 1848 shot at the steamships. A cannon was even used. However, none of the ships was sunk. The cannon can still be seen today as a monument to an indomitable will, or a “stubborn hostility to progress” on the Rhine on a pedestal near the ferry pier. The uprising also spread to other towing stations from Wesseling to Weißenthurm . It has also been handed down that the old crippers must have been "wild fellows" - corresponding complaints were brought to the authorities in Remagen .

Kripp flourished with the burning of bricks from clay , which has now been found and mined there. An entrepreneur from Italy took on the business and burned the bricks for a leather factory. He also paid the workers with bricks; of course only with the bad ones. The good bricks became the leather factory, which is still standing today, and the bad ones became the manger houses. The Roman Catholic Church of St. John Nepomuk was also built from crib bricks from 1900 to 1903 .

When the bricks were finally no longer burned, the workers were paid with schnapps and also with money they had made themselves. In the leather factory, built in 1905, up to 170 people found work.

When all the clay for the bricks was removed, the gravel bed underneath came to light. The manger also processed this business-mindedly and turned it into concrete . The Beton-Union is still there today.

The shoals of the herring-like fish called Feint , which returned every year up to around 1933, have had a direct impact on the naming and customs of Kripp until today. There is an abusive word about the Kripper from the surrounding towns: "Kripper Fente, rüch ens, wat se stinke" (in High German, for example: "Kripper Finte, smell how they stink"). So in 1951 the carnival society "Kripper Fente" was founded. On December 29, 1953, the ferry "Finte" was put into service - today out of service. In 1955 Friedel Valentin was the first carnival prince with a prince wearing a prince's uniform. In 1998 the carnival company "Kripper Fente KG" was founded as the successor to the "Kripper Fente".

The real success story of Kripp began with the discovery of the Maria-Luisen-Quelle, which was found during a flood through the appearance of small air bubbles. Kripp then became "Bad Kripp". A Kurhaus was formed. The federal highway 266 was expanded until the spring disintegrated in the 1950s . The water became impure and no longer edible, but remained the basis for the lemonade production by Quellen-Lehnig AG .

The bottling plants of two springs were given up. Due to the acute danger of collapse of the ruins in Quellenstrasse, the sidewalk is now closed. The industrial buildings are being reclaimed by nature and overgrown year after year by thicker carpets of blackberry tendrils and wild vines. Every spring at the time of the flood , the Ahr makes its way through the overgrown plots .

place

The Kripper water tower

Kripp is divided into the upper and lower village, differentiated according to the altitude on the banks of the Rhine . Its landmark is the Kripper water tower (built in 1904), which is visible from afar and rises above the gardens and is a listed building.

The two bakeries for the supply of everyday goods are important for the population .

The B266 leads through the village and ends first on the banks of the Rhine. The ferry that carries travelers to Linz operates there . In the other direction leads B 266 into the Ahr valley where the steep, barren slate slopes wines in winzerischer are cultivated by hand. During the waiting time, travelers can buy a supply in the Weinkontor right next to the ferry dock.

For camping enthusiasts , Kripp is a household name at the Goldene Meile campsite , which is also well attended in winter . From the Rhine you can also see the former character of Kripp as a location for orchards .

To the volunteer fire department in case of flood to spare the building and displacing webs, a channel named was "Ingo-Wolf channel" created. In this way, supply and transport boats can, with the exception of so-called century floods, bring residents of the flood area and supplies “dry feet” to shore.

In addition to a primary school, there are two kindergartens in Kripp.
