history

Sindorf was first mentioned in a document as Segendorp in 1141. Sindorf with the villages of Horrem and Sehnrath originally formed its own rulership , which belonged to the Archbishop of Cologne as table goods . Archbishop Engelbert II gave it to the Count of Jülich as a pledge in 1271. In the 14th century the Jülich count handed over the rule of Sindorf to the Lord of Hemmersbach as a castle fief , which united it with his rule of Hemmersbach. Until the end of the 18th century, this was the subordinate rule of the Bergheim office in the Duchy of Jülich, which was part of the Duchy of Jülich-Berg from the 15th century .

In 1872 a new mayor's office was built in the village.

At the end of the Second World War , US troops advanced on Sindorf on February 27, 1945. Shortly before, as part of Operation Grenade, they had crossed the Rur, where the front had been between them and the Wehrmacht for a few weeks . The St. Ulrich Church in Sindorf received several hits from artillery ; the sacristy burned down. American soldiers had thrown hand grenades in the basement of the church; Briquettes caught fire as a result.

As part of the Cologne Act , Sindorf was incorporated into Kerpen on January 1, 1975 .

In 2018 the "Heimatverein Sindorf yesterday and today eV" was founded. The aim and purpose of the association is to document and publish the history of Sindorf in texts, pictures, films and sound recordings.

Bürgewald

Sindorf is one of the so-called Bürgewald communities that owned the rights to the Bürgewald . According to the legend, this is due to the holy Arnold von Arnoldsweiler , through the legendary "Ride around the Bürgewald". The main town of the Bürgewald communities is Arnoldsweiler . There the Sindorf residents had to offer a candle to St. Arnold on Whit Tuesday, later on Whit Monday. This wax interest was only canceled in the 19th century. A group from Sindorf still makes a pilgrimage to Arnoldsweiler by bike, but no longer on Whitsun, but in July for the Arnoldus Week.

Religious communities

In Sindorf there are:

Attractions

  • The Catholic St. Ulrich Church has existed since the 15th century, but there was probably a church in Sindorf as early as the 11th century. After the construction of Maria Königin as a branch church it is only occasionally in function.
