Here the second translation. Barbara History of Orscholz Herewith other extracts from the archives of the archbishopric. According to the report of the bishopric chronicle of Trier (Gesta Treverorum), king Ludwig the IVth (died 911) donated to the archbishop of Trier, Radbod, the castles Sierck and Orkesvels with the villages pertaining to them. Sierck today is in France and is situated at about 8 km from Borg. Orkesvels is today called Orscholz, is situated in Germany at about 6 km from Borg. The castle of Sierck must have been an imposing and vast building. The ruins are still there and can be visited. There is more left from castle of Orkesvels. A man named Arnold de Orkesvels appears in 1167 in a document of the archbishop of Trier, Hillin. The chapel of Orscholz, named in 1569 as a subsidiary chapel of Tünsdorf, was situated on the path up to the castle and was occupied by a priest in 1341. This state of things is still testified by the Visitation report of 1743 with the mention of a vicar residing in Orscholz. The inhabitants of the village had to go to the parish church (in Tünsdorf) only on celebrations and they also received there the Easter Communion. The chapel in Orscholz had a clear precedence over the other subsidiary chapels of the parish who had no right to service. This precedence is related to the castle. With the new organisation of the parishes in French times (1803), Orscholz became an independent parish without subsidiaries. The actual church is under the patronage of Nikolaus. The priest of Orscholz also deserves the parish St. Gangolf in Oberleuken. ----- Message d'origine ----- De : "aellis" <[email protected]> À : <[email protected]> Envoyé : mardi 25 juin 2002 05:58 Objet : [TRIER-ROOTS-L] Orscholz History > Here is the e-mail I received from my new German cousin about the > History of Orscholz.
