history
Archaeological finds show a Roman settlement that belonged to the province of Germania inferior . When the church tower was demolished in the 19th century, a matron stone dedicated to the goddesses Julineihiae was found. Another matron stone is built into the facade of Haus Behr.
In Franconian times there was a royal court here. The village was first mentioned in a document in 945, when the Archbishop of Cologne donated the courtyard to Müntz to the Cologne Ursuline Abbey .
In 1815 54 houses in the village fell victim to a fire disaster. In 1933 the place had 749 inhabitants.
On July 1, 1969, Müntz was incorporated into Titz.

Former manors
House Behr
Formerly a one-piece moated castle , today it is a rectangular brick courtyard that is registered as a monument.
The castle was built in 1575 by Konrad Behr von Lahr zu Müntz, mayor of Linnich , and his wife Agnes Eiffler. Her son Dietrich married Anna van Westrum zu Holtum in 1605 , and as a widow she rebuilt the complex in 1635. The son from this marriage was Johann Behr von Lahr, who was married to Anna von Livron. In 1656 Johann was General Feldzeugmeister, War Councilor and Commander of Montmédy on behalf of the Spanish Netherlands , in that year he acquired the pledge of Müntz and Ralshoven through a loan of 8,000 Reichstaler from Wolfgang Wilhelm (Pfalz-Neuburg) . The two villages were therefore separated from the Boslar office and formed a separate office. This pledge could only be bought back in 1775 - from the von Leerodt family, who had in the meantime got hold of the pledge. From now on the Boslar office was reunited. In 1656 Johann Behr von Lahr died childless.
In 1683 his nephew Wilhelm von Ahr zu Golzheim sold the farm to Cornelius-Hermann von Heinsberg, Pfalz-Neuburg 's agent and Pfenning master of the Jülich landscape. In 1790 the estate came to the von Siegen family through marriage. Around 1800, a complete renovation took place with new window openings. Around 1820 the farm came into civil ownership.
House Müntz
The property (Raiffeisenstraße 37) is now a large brick courtyard and is a listed building. It is the older of the two former Müntzer manors and was also called Haus Nesselrode, Haus Gritteren and Danielshof after the later owners. The farm had about 270 acres of arable land and about 120 acres of forest as of 1492.
The von Müntz family was first mentioned in 1362; they owned the estate until 1492. In this year Johann von Harff zu Lorsbeck received it as a fief . In the beginning of the 16th century, the von Gritteren family owned the von Müntz farm, located at the church , and when the estate was divided in 1549, Regina, née von Gritteren, the wife of Edmunds von Nesselrode zu Holtrop received it . In 1646 the farm, which had inherited to Hans Dietrich von Gritteren zu Glimbach and Müntz, and Gertrud von Zievel zu Rischmühlen, was transferred to the sisters Anna and Katharina von Zievel, and then passed through marriage to the court chamber councilor Franz Ferdinand Daniels. In 1828 the estate was sold from the estate of the district judge Adam von Daniels.
Jewish community
Jews have lived in Müntz since the 18th century . The village had an above-average proportion of Jewish residents in the 19th century. In 1823, Müntz had the second highest population in the Aachen administrative region with 128 Jews after Aachen, where 172 lived. In 1860 the Jewish population in Müntz was 12 percent; 75 people out of a total population of 594. The place was therefore also called "Jüdde-Müntz" .
The synagogue , built in 1844, was desecrated in 1938 during the Reichspogromnacht , the interior was destroyed and used as a prison camp during the war. In 1956 the building was demolished almost to the ground. Around 2000 a residential house was built on the area.
On the southern side of the village and the Malefinkbach there is a walled Jewish cemetery , which was laid out in the 18th century. At the beginning of June 2008 the cemetery was badly damaged in a storm, the cemetery has now been completely restored. The preserved tombstones ( Mazevot ) from the period 1870 to 1927 were put up again in 2013 after many years of restoration.
