history
On April 1, 1862, Liedberg was elevated to a succursal or auxiliary parish by the Archbishop of Cologne and Cardinal von Geissel and assigned to the deanery M. Gladbach . Before that time, Liedberg belonged to the parish of Glehn .
Many years earlier, however, an independent church life had already taken place in Liedberg. In the year 1100 a Count Hermann, Herr von Liedberg, is mentioned who built a chapel opposite the today's mill tower , which dates from Roman times .
In 1654, the Liedbergers presented the wish to the Archbishop and Elector Max Heinrich of Cologne to build a new chapel and to celebrate church services. These goals were promoted under the Liedberger Vogt Damian Hermann Nideggen and on January 3, 1708 a new chapel, the castle chapel that still exists today, was consecrated by the Glehn pastor Jennes. In the same year the ceremonial inauguration took place by the Cologne Auxiliary Bishop Werner von Veyder .
In 1859, the Liedbergers suggested their wish for their own parish church to the Archbishop of Cologne. But the groundbreaking did not take place until 1913 and in 1915 the parish was able to celebrate the inauguration of its new parish church St. Georg. The Liedbergers founded the St. Josephs Bauverein to raise the building funds. On June 6, 1915, the church was consecrated by Archbishop Felix Cardinal von Hartmann in the midst of a solemnly decorated parish . He consecrated the high altar in honor of the parish patron , St. George.
Liedberg was hit by a heavy Allied air raid on May 22, 1944. Most of the houses in the town had been damaged. At the church, the windows of the choir and the left aisle were destroyed.
After the war, the damage to the church building was repaired with the active and financial support of the parishioners, also with the support of the state curator, the diocesan master builder and the district cultural office.
In June 1990 the parish celebrated the 75th anniversary of the inauguration of the parish church.
