Numerous traces of settlement history from the Stone Age (artefacts) and from Roman times (rubble fields, shards, graves) attest to the early settlement of the local area.
The establishment of today's place Randerath is to be seen in close connection with the construction of the castle Randerath. A Harper von Randerath is mentioned for the first time in 1084. His son has to accept the destruction of his castle in disputes with the Lords of Heinsberg. In 1225 Gerhard von Randerath received the city from Duke Walram of Limburg as a fief. In 1239 the castle was destroyed again by the Duke of Brabant. In the 14th century the Lords of Heinsberg gained more influence over Randerath, and in 1310 Offenhaus Castle became the Lords of Heinsberg. With Arnold von Randerath, the family died out in 1384. His son-in-law Wilhelm von Horn inherits the property, which his wife sold to the Duchy of Jülich in 1392. Randerath Castle was the seat of a Jülich bailiff in the following period. In 1542, Randerath was destroyed by soldiers of Emperor Charles V during the Jülich feud . In the years 1670 and 1717 large fires raged in Randerath and in 1675 Randerath was plundered by Lauenburg troops. Parts of the 14th century fortifications were laid down in 1762. The fortification of the place probably took place in the 14th century and included several towers and city gates.
Castle
The castle Randerath was formerly the headquarters of the noble ruling families of those bad of Randerath. The castle emerged from a medieval motte (tower hill castle). The lords of Randerath belonged to the important noble families of the region with extensive possessions, to which Linnich belonged. They were bailiffs of Prüm and Echternach in the Teisterband-Gau, where a branch of the family settled in Boxtel, their oldest ancestor was Count Immo von Sponheim, Abbot of Gorze, Prüm and Reichenau to reform his monasteries. Therefore, the (reduced) Randerath chess in red and gold can still be seen in the lower part of the coat of arms of the city of Linnich; it originally consisted of 25 places. After it was taken over by the dukes of Jülich in 1392, the complex was heavily fortified. The remains of the castle were demolished in 1762 except for the main tower and the existing winery building was erected in 1766. Due to dilapidation, the tower had to be closed around 1830. Today the castle is privately owned and has been completely restored.
Churches and religion
The former neo-Gothic church building of the Catholic parish church St. Lambertus was restored in a simplified form with the construction of a new west tower after being destroyed in the war. A side choir from the year 1500 has been preserved from the previous church. A Protestant community has existed in Randerath since the 16th century. The Protestant church in a side street was built in 1717. From 1790 to 1900, the synagogue of the small Jewish community of Randerath was located in their neighborhood.

On January 1, 1972, Randerath was incorporated into Heinsberg. The then 475 inhabitants of the districts of Hoven, Kogenbroich, Kraudorf and Nirm were reclassified to Geilenkirchen .
