history
Beginnings
The most likely interpretation brings the place name with " Maut " in connection. Mausbach emerged from an Upper Franconian settlement and shared the fate of the neighboring town of Gressenich for long stretches. With this it came into the possession of the Kornelimünster monastery in 842. The abbot of Kornelimünster had the Mausbacher Hof built here around the year 1000, which has remained the core of the place. A document from 1336 names a knight Werner von Mausbach, who had to pay taxes to the imperial abbey for a breakdown house . The Mausbacher Hof was subject to a ten-year obligation to the imperial abbey Kornelimünster .
16th to 18th century
In 1585 the Protestant copper masters came to the Vichtbachtal , who also owned galley pits in the Mausbach area (Derichsberg, Bernhardshammer, Binsfeldhammer ) and had to pay taxes to the Kornelimünster Abbey according to their metal production. From 1809 to 1919 ore was mined on a large scale in the Diepenlinchen ore mine. It was the largest ore mine in the region. At peak times, 800 workers and employees were employed.
The Mausbacher Hof, which was destroyed in the Palatinate War of Succession in 1689 , had Alfons Suys, Abbot of Kornelimünster, rebuilt in 1730.

From 1794 to 1815 Mausbach was together with Krewinkel, Vicht and Werth a place in the Mairie Gressenich , which belongs to the canton of Eschweiler in the Département de la Roer .

It has belonged to the Aachen district since 1816 . As the demographic focus of the community of Gressenich, Mausbach is the seat of its mayor's office, whose building now functions as a community center.

On January 1, 1972, Mausbach came to Stolberg together with Diepenlinchen, Fleuth and Krewinkel and the rest of the community of Gressenich.

The church was expanded in 1870 and, after being blown up in World War II, was rebuilt and consecrated in 1948.

Attractions
Besides the memorial in the cemetery, the Mausbacher Hof is worth seeing .
Mausbacher Hof
Around 1000 the abbot of Kornelimünster had the Mausbacher Hof built. It was destroyed in the Palatinate War of Succession in 1689 and rebuilt in 1730 by Alfons Suys, another abbot of Kornelimünster. Mouse Hof was over the centuries the Abbey Kornelimünster tenth of charge . It is worth seeing a coat of arms stone, the royal crown, miter and a crossed bishop's staff as symbols of spiritual and worldly power. Another name for the farm is "Burg Mausbach".
Natural monuments
In Mausbach there are two chestnuts protected as natural monuments and nine linden trees on the former Essiger Platz.
Districts
Diepenlinchen
Diepenlinchen is a northern district of Mausbach. It is located east of the Wolfshecke forest at an altitude of around 290 m . Directly to the northeast there is an industrial park and beyond it the Stolberg-Diepenlinchen glider airfield .
Fleuth
Fleuth is a southern district of Mausbach. It is located on a road running parallel to the Mausbach between Mausbach and Vicht at an altitude of around 250 m . Fleuth consists of only a few streets on the western edge of the Süssendell forest, which is part of the "Gressenich Forest". There is a nature reserve between the forest and the village. There is a military cemetery at the eastern exit of Fleuth.
The Fleuther street name Im Pesch is probably derived from the Latin pasculum "pasture". The Flamm property at Vichterstraße 29–31 is the ancestral home of Jakob Flamm, who in 1660 was appointed lay judge, mayor and church master of the Kornelimünster Abbey . These offices remained with the Flamm family until they were dissolved.

Krewinkel is an old district and, in contrast to Mausbach, belonged for centuries to the Duchy of Jülich , after the abbey Kornelimünster was dissolved, then together with Mausbach to the Mairie, later to the mayor's office of Gressenich. An AVV bus line connects the "Krewinkel" stop with the rest of the Stolberg.
