Origin of name

The exact origin of the place name has not been conclusively clarified. The ending -rath indicates a clearing , which suggests that the place was built on a place that was overgrown with forest. This delimitation fits well with the name of the neighboring town Hochheid, which is related to heather areas. There are interpretations of the origin of the first part of the name Trips , which refer to the castle Trips in the immediate vicinity and thus to the gender of the von Trips. It is undisputed that Trips Castle was built later. The place name "Tripzerode" is already mentioned in a deed of donation from 1210.

Local history

Tripsrath used to belong to the Jülich office of Geilenkirchen. A Hufe zu Tripsrath was owned by the Heinsberger Norbertinerstift in 1210. A yard and two thirds of the tithe owned the Gangolfus pen here. Another court in Tripsrath has appeared as a fiefdom of the Heinsberg rule since the 14th century and was later subordinate to the Geilenkirchen man chamber . The oldest house still in existence today dates from 1653.

Tripsrath had a total of 277 inhabitants in 1828, in 1852 there were 349 inhabitants. In the course of the regional reform on January 1, 1972, the places Tripsrath, Hochheid and Rischden remained with the city of Geilenkirchen.

The places Tripsrath, Hochheid and Rischden form a three-village community. Their common meeting point is the community center , the former Old School . Under the motto: Community center strengthens the community , the house was opened in September 2011.

Church history

The parish of St. Anna Tripsrath is made up of the villages of Tripsrath with Brüggerhof, Hochheid, Rischden and Königshof. The majority of the population consists of Catholics .

The parish of St. Anna in Tripsrath was created by the parish of Tripsrath with Königshof, Hochheid and Rischden from the parish of St. Marien in Geilenkirchen. This was made possible by promises of donations by 80 people to finance a rectorate as well as the donation of land for the construction of the parish church by Miss Adele Wilhelmine Cockerill, which envisaged the elevation to parish church as a condition.

In 1869 the church council decided to found its own rectorate, and in 1870 a barn was set up in Tripsrath as an emergency church . On January 9, 1891 Tripsrath was raised to parish. On August 8, 1873, Auxiliary Bishop Baudri laid the foundation stone for the church . The inauguration was on May 30, 1893. In the war year 1944/45 the church was badly damaged, in 1953 the reconstruction was completed.

In the course of the parish reforms in the Diocese of Aachen , the formerly independent Catholic parish of St. Anna Tripsrath was incorporated into the Community of Parishes (GdG) St. Bonifatius Geilenkirchen.
