history

At the time of the Old Kingdom it belonged politically partly to the Reifferscheid rule and partly to the Wildenburg rule . In terms of the church, the village was cut through by the border between the parishes of Steinfeld and Reifferscheid . Today it belongs to the parish of St. Johann Baptist Wildenburg in the diocese of Aachen .

Manscheid is first mentioned in 1416 in a border description of the Freedom Wildenburg, when Werner von Pallandt and Simon von Birgel make a truce. The ending -scheid in the place name indicates a foundation during the medieval clearing phase .

In Manscheid there was a ban mill belonging to the Wildenburg rulership, which was leased hereditary. The first tenants are mentioned in 1470. The water mill and was not shut down until the mid-1950s.
