View over Limbach into the Bohnental

Limbach

In a list from 1150, Limbach is mentioned among the places that had to carry out an annual pilgrimage to Mettlach. In 1306, the knight Heinrich von Neipel renounced his tithe share in Limbach in favor of Tholey Abbey. Prehistoric traces from the Copper and Iron Ages as well as the Gallo-Roman epoch mark the land on the Primsschleife as an old cultivated land. Most of the history that can be reconstructed with written sources, Limbach was part of Lorraine (1291-1766). In 1814 Limbach became the seat of the mayor's office for two years under Austrian-Bavarian administration for the towns of Bettingen, Außen, Goldbach, Gresaubach, Neipel, Schünsch and Lindscheid. In 1817, under Prussian administration, the mayor's office moved to Bettingen. With the most recent regional reform of 1974, Limbach is part of the community of Schmelz.

Hölzershausen Chapel

In the middle of the Bohnental there was the village of Hölzershausen with a chapel, which was operated by an order of hermits before 1330, independently of the Tholey Abbey. The complex, which was still described in the 18th century under the patronage of Peter, was much more splendid than the neighboring Scheuerner church, went under in the 19th century. The "woods" ban was added to the town of Sch scrub. Today the Peterskirmes and a memorial cross still reminds of the place. Schufen is today the center of the Bohnental with its places Schänen, Neipel, Dorf, Lindscheid and Überroth and Niederhofen. The local history museum in Neipel provides information about the history of the Bohnental. Source: Text information board

Limbach old church

The tower of the church, which presumably dates to the 12th century, represents the special importance of Limbach. For 450 years, since 1345, the Teutonic Knight Order, based in Beckingen, determined the fate of the parish. Restoration work in the 1980s brought to light paintings from around 1450 and the 18th century under the paintings of the 20th century. Source: Text information board

Church scrubbing

The Scheuerner Church was built in the neo-baroque style between 1899 and 1917. Parish patron is the HI. Catherine. The previous church was built in 1729. The service was then carried out by the monks of Tholey Abbey to which the place also belonged administratively. Source: Text information board

Limbach Church

Between 1906 and 1908 the parish church of St. Willibrord was built in neo-Gothic style next to the old church. The reasons for this lie in the increased population. The tower height is 47 meters. Source: Text information board
