History of Pesch

In 1312 Pesch was first mentioned. In 1609 the name "Besch" appeared as a name in a plan by Abraham Hogenberg. Four farms were included in the plan. From an etymological point of view, Pesch can be derived from Latin from the word "pascuum - pasture" or from the word Busch. The Krischhof (war courtyard) and three other courtyards and four houses were also mentioned in documents in 1657. The Donatus Chapel faces the war courtyard. It was built in a baroque style. The chapel is one of the oldest buildings in Pesch.
