To the southeast, the terrain rises over the Aegidienberger Wald bordering Orscheid to the Dachsberg , to the west it drops into the valley of the Retscheider Bach and to the northwest to the Gieselberg . The closest places are Wülscheid in the east, up to 200 m from the closed village of Orscheids, and on the other side of the Rottbitze motorwayin the southwest and Retscheid in the west. Similar to Wülscheid, Orscheid can be divided into an upper and a (larger) lower village.

history

The village emerged as a clustered village from a series of initially unconnected farms and farms and was probably first inhabited by settlers who moved along the Siegtal and Pleisbach or the roads running in the mountain area. An early mention of the place comes from the year 1506, when a Kerstgen of Orescheit is mentioned. In 1673 he had twelve taxable residents.

Orscheid (formerly Orscheidt ) is one of the eight honors that made up the parish of Aegidienberg at the latest from the middle of the 18th century until the dissolution of the Duchy of Berg in 1806. The Aegidienberg parish tithe , which was raised until 1858, comprised the four tithe districts Orscheid, Retscheid , Kirche (with Siefenhoven ) and Hövel . In 1862 a connection road was built in a southerly direction to today's state road 247, which leads in the direction of Bad Honnef and Asbach . In 1866, east of the town's exit, the " Orscheid Catholic Primary School " opened as a joint facility with Wülscheid. In 1885, Orscheid had 203 residents in 48 houses. On June 12, 1905, there was a major fire that destroyed thirteen buildings.

In 1905, a railway line ( narrow-gauge railway ) was built to transport the basalt mined in the area (including the Dachsberg) , which ran from the Bröltaler Eisenbahn AG station in Rostingen along the Quirrenbach past Gratzfeld, Wülscheid and through Orscheid to Rottbitze. At the end of the 1930s, it was interrupted by the construction of what was then the Reichsautobahn and has since ended at the Orscheid forester's house - the tracks were dismantled in the early 1950s. The construction of the motorway, which runs directly to the west of the village, necessitated extensive earthworks, land consolidation and the drying up of a spring at the Orscheid forester's lodge , as well as the abandonment of some farms. In the summer of 1951, construction of the county road 6 from Himberg began with crossing under the motorway via Orscheid to Wülscheid. Until then, the traffic between Orscheid and Wülscheid ran on the street In der Dornhecke on a no longer existing route to the street Am Holzpütz .

At the instigation of the citizens of Wülscheid and Orscheid, the so-called Dachsberg Chapel was built in 1955 on the Dachsberg to the south instead of a small chapel from the 19th century . In 1968, in the course of the nationwide introduction of primary and secondary schools, the Orscheider elementary school was closed. In 1973 a Catholic kindergarten was opened in the former school building , which was taken over by the Evangelical Church in 2008 .

The Orscheid substation

West of the village was the construction of the commission in 2002. ICE high-speed line Cologne-Rhine / Main with the substation Orscheid one located six substations along the route of this kind.

Chalkboard as the town's coat of arms

In 2009 the artist Richard Lenzgen created a slate as the local coat of arms of Orscheid. Elements of the coat of arms are a vaulted tunnel to the underpass of the motorway ( served as a place of refuge in World War II and filled in when the new ICE line was built), two yellow lanes tapering upwards (symbolizing today's motorway and ICE line), a crossroads ( as a reference to an annual cross consecration since the end of the 19th century ), a maypole (symbol for local customs) and a red kite (native to the woods around Orscheid). Orscheid was the last of the 13 districts of Aegidienberg to receive a coat of arms.
