history

Retscheid 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 a church income list from 1578 the spelling of the place name was Retterscheid and in 1673 Räterscheid , until the spelling Retscheid finally prevailed around 1700 . The place is popularly called "Rätschend", in earlier times "Berich Rätschend" ( Bergisch Retscheid), because the nearby town of Rederscheid was also called "Rätschend" and to differentiate it " Kölsch Rätschend".

In 1666 there were four "sworn" residents and in 1673 ten "taxable" residents for Retscheid. In 1803 the place consisted of eight houses or house numbers. The Aegidienberg rectory was located in Retscheid until 1858. It consisted of a house, a barn, a cow and horse stable, a shed, a bakery and a garden. The place was predominantly agricultural until the 1970s and consisted of about ten buildings. Today Retscheid has more than twice as many buildings and is almost exclusively residential .

District road 6 runs south of the village (from Himberg via Orscheid, Wülscheid and Eudenbach to Hennef - Dahlhausen ). The next motorway junction (Bad Honnef / Linz ) is located to the south-east, about 1.5 km away.

coat of arms

Chalkboard as the town's coat of arms

In 2008 the artist Richard Lenzgen created a slate as the local coat of arms of Retscheid. In the upper half it shows the former Aegidienberg rectory, representative of the former courtyards and farms in the village. In the lower, two-part half of the coat of arms, a golden ear of grain is depicted on a red background on the left for the former importance of field management , and on the right a quarry northwest of Retscheid, in which Grauwacke was mined.
