Krewinkel was first mentioned in a document in 1397. It is assumed, however, that the place is much older and could have been inhabited as early as Roman times (approx. 57 BC to approx. 450 AD). This is indicated by a hill called the Römerberg, on which artefacts from this period were found. What makes the folklore position of the Römerberg particularly attractive is the legend of the golden calf. The golden calf is said to be a treasure that is said to lie hidden inside the mountain. In addition to the extreme material hardship, the plague, which verifiably raged in Krewinkel in 1624, was added to the period of the Thirty Years' War. Source: buellingen.be/index.php?id=223

The Gothic St. Eligius Chapel, which dates from the first half of the 16th century, is now used as the Krewinkel cultural chapel and is a listed building. It was sold to an open-air museum at the end of the 1960s, and several years of delays in the sales process meant that the purchase contract could be canceled. The chapel was extensively restored between 1992 and 2002, on this occasion well-preserved frescoes, probably from the period between 1480 and 1530, were uncovered in the choir, and the dilapidated old tower was renewed. Immediately adjacent is the parish church of St. Eligius, a new building from 1964. Source: Wikipedia
