geography
location
The place is located in the Jülich Börde , a particularly fertile stretch of land in the Cologne Bay. In the region, which is otherwise rather poor in open waters, Tetz is fortunate to have two flowing waters in close proximity. The Rur flows west of Tetz , and the Malefinkbach flows through the village itself .
To the west of Tetz are the villages of Floßdorf and Barmen , to the east of Boslar , south of Broich and north of Linnich.
history
Place name
There are different theories about the origin of the place name. One of the two most common and most likely sees the origin of the name in the name for the "property of a Roman", Latin "Deciarum". From this developed over the later forms of name Titzich, then Titze and finally Tetz. Another goes back to the founders of the settlement. Where Tetz is today, it was then a marshland. In the language of the Eburones, a Celtic tribe that settled here over 2000 years ago, the syllable "Tet" means swamp / moor. It is quite possible that they already called their village Tetz.
Castle
Tetz was first mentioned in 1351. In that year Godart von Hompesch acquired the Tetz rule from the Jülich margrave Wilhelm for 2250 Cologne marks.
The last owner of the castle, Baron Maximilian Freiherr von Brachel, died in 1964. It was completely destroyed by the destruction during the war and several fires. Today in the so-called Alte-Burg-Wald one can only guess where the former knight's castle once stood.
church
The first church was built in 1291. During the Second World War , the church tower of the already heavily damaged church was blown up by the German troops before they retreated, so as not to leave a lookout for the enemy. After the war, the St. Church dedicated to Lambertus rebuilt in the 1950s.
Jewish community
A small Jewish community existed in Tetz and Boslar since the 18th century. A prayer room in Tetz is mentioned as early as 1740; it was presumably located in the house at Lambertusstrasse 56. There was a Jewish cemetery behind the building until 1874 . In 1845, Aaron Hirtz, head of the community, bought a house at Lambertusstrasse 62 to use it as a synagogue . The congregation had previously rented a prayer room in the house. The synagogue was given up in 1927/1928. The building was therefore not touched during the November pogroms in 1938 .

Reorganization
The former municipality of Tetz became a district of the city of Linnich through the municipal reorganization on July 1, 1969. At that time Linnich was still part of the Jülich district .
Wickerwork
Tetz was widely known for his wickerwork . The wicker thrived on the damp ground . When the linen weavers had to give up their work, weaving baskets and other goods was a professional alternative. Soon there were only a few households left that did not produce basketry. Due to the price pressure from the dealers, more and more people were forced to give up this trade. The pastor at the time, Joseph Esser, then founded the “ basket maker productive cooperative ” in Tetz in 1928 . His intensive efforts soon met with considerable success. After the war, however, the basket maker profession largely died out in Tetz. In 1979 the cooperative was dissolved again.
traffic
Tetz had had access to the Jülich – Dalheim railway line since 1911 with the Tetz-Boslar station . On that route, passenger traffic in the Jülich – Baal section was greatly thinned out in the 1960s, and the growing individual traffic made matters worse. The resulting drop in passenger numbers prompted the Federal Railroad to stop passenger services between Jülich and Baal on September 29, 1968. The Dürener Kreisbahn (DKB) decided to reactivate the section between Linnich and Jülich (now as a continuation of the Jülich – Düren railway ) in 2002. For the first time in 34 years, Tetz had access to rail traffic (in the direction of Jülich / Düren and Linnich) via the newly built Tetz stop . The Tetz-Boslar station is no longer approached due to the less favorable location to the place. The former reception building including the property is privately owned.
Busverkehr Rheinland GmbH (BVR) travels through the village with bus route 287. State road 253 runs on the western edge of the village, and federal motorway 44 is to the south of the village .
