Parish of St. Medardus (Nörvenich)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The parish of St. Medardus existed until the former parishes of St. Medardus, St. Gertrud, St. Heribert, St. Mariä Visitation, St. Martinus and St. Viktor merged to form the parish of St. Josef. The church of St. Medardus in Nörvenich is the parish church of the large parish.

history

The parish was first mentioned in a document in 1177. There must have been a parish much earlier, because the patronage dates from the Franconian times. The parish is mentioned in the liber valoris around 1300. Up to the beginning of the 19th century, 31 houses in the village belonged to the Hochkirchen parish . After the French revolutionary troops marched in on October 4, 1794, the parish no longer belonged to the Archdiocese of Cologne , but to the newly formed Diocese of Aachen , which was dissolved again in 1821. It was not re-established until 1930.
