history
The free aristocratic Hof Haus Spich was first mentioned in a document in 1297. In a document from Michaelsberg Abbey, there is talk of a Mechthild de Spico . In 1555 the Honschaft Spich belonged to the parish and district court of Sieglar in the Bergisches Amt Löwenburg . In 1815 an alum works was opened in Spich . On August 7, 1826, eight houses in Burgstrasse and Brückenstrasse fell victim to a fire.
The municipality of Spich belonged to the Sieglar mayor's office . In 1885 it had 737 hectares , of which 439 hectares were arable, 14 hectares were meadows and 212 hectares were forest. Spich was the only place in the commune. In 1885 the community had 192 households and an uninhabited house with 976 inhabitants (468 men and 508 women).
Spich was an independent municipality until 1927 and was incorporated into the municipality of Sieglar on April 1, 1927. In the course of the community reform on August 1, 1969, the community Sieglar was incorporated into Troisdorf. A telegraph house for the Prussian optical telegraph was built on the grounds of the Rott manor , which was used as a forester's house by Baron Spies von Büllesheim after the advent of electrical telegraphy and is now a restaurant.

religion
Except for three citizens of Protestant faith and twelve citizens of Jewish faith, the community was Catholic in the 19th century (961 people). The Protestant citizens were looked after by Siegburg . In 1966 the Evangelical St. Luke Church was originally built as an emergency church in the form of a tent, later renovated and extended by a porch with a gallery for the trombone choir. A bell tower with a 3-part bell is in planning. Today around 25% of the population profess the Protestant denomination. The parish of St. Mary's Assumption, which is part of the Catholic parish community in Troisdorf, comprises around 5000 Catholics. The former chapel of the Belgian armed forces in Camp Spich was consecrated to St. Dimitrios in 2004 and serves as a place of worship for the around 1,600 members of the Greek Orthodox Christian community in the Rhein-Sieg district.
politics
Since the local elections in 2004, the CDU in Spich has provided all four directly elected city councilors, as well as a fifth councilor elected via the reserve list. The mayor of Spich was Hans-Willi Schwartz (CDU) from 1999-2013; Werner Zander has held this position since March 2013.
Culture and sights
House Broich
The knight's seat Haus Broich was first mentioned in the 12th century. The name Broich indicates a location in a swamp or bog area. Udo de Bruche (von Broich) was formerly knighted by the Count von Berg and raised to the nobility. His descendants were vassals of the counts and later the dukes of Berg for centuries. The renaissance mansion was built in 1620.
House Heep
The Heep (Schreuer) house is already shown on a map of the Rottzehntel situation in the Bergisches Amt Löwenberg from 1755 as a non-aristocratic manor, which was then named after its owners in the meantime. The death certificate of a later owner of the house identifies him as a farmer, landlord and barrier recipient in 1842. As a barrier receiver he had the Chausseegeld collect. A barrier was set up at the height of the house so that the individuals, horse-drawn vehicles and drovers actually paid . The money had to be collected day and night. The next paying office was at the Aggerbrücke in Troisdorf. On December 31, 1874, the state road tolls were abolished in Prussia, so that the road houses as such lost their function and the residents mostly moved out. Various owners followed, who used the house as a residential building and later also as a restaurant, demolished parts and rebuilt them in half-timbered style, until the house finally burned down almost completely at Easter 1999. With the help of the Troisdorf Home and History Association, the complete demolition of the ruins was prevented and the house was rebuilt in its old form, but now with dormers. Today a plaque is attached to the “Wirtshaus Heep”, reminding of its eventful history.
House Spich
The "Haus Spich" in Hauptstraße 183 is a mansion with an extension on the street side and a vaulted cellar in front. It was rebuilt in 1866.
Et Hüsje
"Et Hüsje" is a half-timbered house opposite the "Haus Heep".
Parish Church of St. Mary of the Assumption
In 1694, the first Catholic chapel was built in Spich , but it soon no longer sufficed for the rapidly growing community. On September 4th, 1858, the foundation stone was laid for a church that was built in just two years and was named St. Mary's Assumption. In 2008 the church was completely renovated. The 150th anniversary of the parish elevation was celebrated on May 29, 2011 with a pontifical mass celebrated by Cardinal Joachim Meisner .
Historic Klais organ
The organ of the parish church of St. Mariä Himmelfahrt was built in 1908 by the organ building company Johannes Klais from Bonn. This makes it by far the oldest surviving organ in Troisdorf.
The instrument now in the tower room and covered by a grille originally had a neo-Gothic , ornate prospectus . The action of the original organ in St. Mariä Himmelfahrt was controlled with pneumatic cone shutters via an attached console . The original instrument had 15 stops , one of which was transmission in the pedal . The original shape of the organ was changed in 1969 according to the ideas of this time, with massive changes in its shape, the original prospectus removed and the instrument moved to the tower room of the church.
Currently the disposition of the instrument is as follows:

The oldest club in Spich is the Männergesangverein 1874 e. V., which developed from a church choral society. The St. Gregorius church choir was established in 1908 as a further independent branch of this association. In addition, choir singing is maintained in the Nova Cantica ensemble and the Troisdorf vocal ensemble, which, like the church choir, are also organized as choirs in the Catholic parish community in Troisdorf.
Since February 6, 1911, Spich has had its own fire fighting group, which today belongs to the Troisdorf volunteer fire brigade. The Löschgruppe Spich is also a registered local association.
In 2007 the bachelor association (JGV) Spich was re-established.
In October 2009, citizens of Spicher founded the organ building association at St. Mariä Himmelfahrt, which has set itself the task of expertly restoring the historic Klais organ of the Catholic parish church.
