Obergeich is a north-eastern part of the municipality of Langerwehe in the Düren district and is located on the B 264 between D'horn and Langerwehe-Mitte. Obergeich consists of only a few streets and the Barrierhaus, Bongenhaus and Rothaus properties on the main road.

history

In 1934 the chapel in the center of the village was inaugurated. This was built because the distance (3 km) to the church in Schlich had previously been criticized so that it could not be reached by older people. From 1816 to 1972 Konzendorf , Geich , Obergeich, Schlich, D'horn, Merode and Echtz belonged to the Echtz office. On January 1, 1972, the Echtz Office was dissolved due to the Aachen Act : The community of Echtz-Konzendorf was incorporated into the district town of Düren . The communities Geich-Obergeich and D'horn were incorporated into Langerwehe.
