history

The district of Rath used to be a hamlet with a few houses and farms. The resettlement of the places Garsdorf and Frauweiler , which were added to Rath, increased the population. Rath was separated from Bedburg until the recultivation of the Fortuna-Garsdorf opencast mine was completed in 2004 . In 1972, Neu St. Luzia, a new Roman Catholic parish church, was consecrated as a replacement for the demolished former monastery church in Frauweiler.

Another important group is the Catholic Women's Community of Germany (KFD). Last but not least, the oldest village association should be mentioned, the Bedburg-Rath 1869 bachelor association with over 40 young members.
