history
Varrelbusch is mentioned for the first time in 1463 in a list of goods and pensions in the parish of Krapendorf . At that time, three families are mentioned for Varrelbusch. One can therefore assume that the core consists of three independent farms with their associated servants and maids. Up until the end of the Thirty Years War these three farms were mentioned again and again, but after the long war they were largely impoverished or even devastated.
With new farms for outgoing sons and the emergence of the hireling system, the population gradually increased after 1700. In 1750 Varrelbusch already had 53 inhabitants in eight families.
In 1891 the moor and heather , which had previously been jointly owned, were divided between the 18 farms operating at the time. One third, however, remained with the state and was reforested.
In 1911 a prayer house was built, but after the First World War it was too small due to the increasing number of inhabitants and was replaced by the current church in 1935 . In 1961 the chapel community was raised to an independent parish . During the Second World War , Varrelbusch suffered considerable war damage, but this was soon eliminated through reconstruction.
