the emergence of the place Bornich or “Bornacho”, how it is called in the first reliable document of 1138, by the place name customer in before-German, Roman time one assumed. A confirmation for it likes the find of a bronze booklet from that 2. Century its. She was saved with plow work in local proximity. Already in the Merowingerzeit, in 7. Century, is to have been wealthy the Trierer monastery Oeren in Bornich. In this possession, probably the roots of the national sovereignty of the counts von Isenburg are appropriate for that of the monastery Prüm and the Arnsteiner count over Bornich, so that Ludwig could promise the place including the surrounding possessions 1276/77 of its daughter Irmgard as dowry. At that time “Burniche” was principal place of the court, until 1324 also for pc. Goarshausen, godfather PUCB suppl. and Offenthal were responsible. Only 1521 furnished the hessian land counts for it “Bornig” “independently to court”, which had Nassau up to the transition to the duchy 1861 existence.

But first Irmgard came 1284 under the hood and with it the Kirchspiel Bornich to the count Wilhelm von Katzenelnbogen, who thereby its Niedergrafschaft the important connecting piece between the possession on a-smell and which could add residence Rhine rock. With the development of the katzenelnbogischen position on the central Rhine by the castles Bornich lost realm mountain and Katz increasingly in meaning. Into the “headlines” the place came nevertheless. 1474 were condemned boron NIC ago that priest in Cologne to death on the heap of failure. It had a poisoning attempt at Anna, the second Mrs. Phillips D. Older ones confessed. To this ruchlosen act he was bought, in order to receive to a daughter Phillips of first marriage the Katzenelnbogener inheritance. Anna survived the notice, and as Phillip five years later after its childless marriage, proved the act boron NIC ago of the priest died not only unsuccessfully, but also still than useless. The Niedergrafschaft arrived now at the land count von Hessen-Kassel. This broke in Bornich its headquarters open a little later, than he besieged Kaub in the context of the Pfälzisch Bavarian succession war, and besides Weisel and both Dörscheid down-burn left.

On 20-October 1518 overtaken Bornich the same fate. In consequence of a plundering by Franz of Sickingen and Phillip of Schwarzenberg the whole village burned down with the church. The two gentlemen would deliver in this way their feud with the land count Phillip of Hessen around a private law case.

1522 one already let new bells pour again. Also the reconstruction of the church progressed probably briskly, because after Phillip the largecourageous 1527 had the reformation introduced to the Niedergrafschaft, boron NIC ago a chronicler notes that “through God grace the Evangelist religion in this church was dismissed eingesegnet and that sündlich cause from this church”. But the freshbaked Protestanten should enjoy not for a long time of their new church. It resisted with twelve further houses of the large conflagration resulted from fire founders of 19. March 1556, but hardly three years later, to 2. March 1556, was the village again on fire. Two adults, 14 children and 200 pieces cattle fell the flames to the victims, the church and all buildings, with exception of three stone houses, burned down. As a fire founder in both cases a Konrad was made secured mobilizationoh from godfather PUCB suppl. One placed it in Oberwesel before court, where he was finally burned with glowing pliers “gepetzt” and.

In order to prevent future fires, for the reconstruction by the rule it was arranged that all barns were to be built outside of the old ditch. Thus developed to today barn ring received in remainders around Bornich. Within the ditch, a new Bornich grew the old local attachment, which is already mentioned 1395 and also in the “ land boards” of the Kartographen William Dillich of 1608 is not missing. 1571 were established a new city hall. It got over the fire 1590, which put “only” a quarter of the village in ash, got over the dreissigjährigen war and all other fate storms, until it was torn off 1955 because of state of decay.

Bornich always belonged to the largest municipalities of the area. 1577 one counted 82 households, even after the Verhehrungen of the dreissigjährigen war was inhabited beside parsonage building, school building, city hall, Hirtenhaus and four mills of still 58 houses. The agriculture nourished always its man, and the size of the village was a good basis for the existence of a various local handicraft and trade. 1789 faced the 84 farmers of 33 craftsmen, with altogether 740 inhabitants. At the same time pc. counted. Goarshausen only 411 souls. The number of inhabitants Bornichs points since then steadily upward: 813 (1827), 948 (1846), 989 (1871), 1052 (1950). Also over 1200 inhabitants it is today the largest land municipality in the range of the convention community Loreley.

Before 200 years it was called it from Bornich “is a very substantial large village”, although the design of the houses does not make it ansehlich. Those knew boron NIC ago to change that. Since 1977 the consistently operated redevelopment of villages let decoration a local picture develop, which positively affected the living value. Active building activity proves it.

Because of missing localnear jobs a large number oscillates after the employed persons outward. The agriculture dominating in former times is operated predominantly as supplementary income. The situation is similar in the viticulture, which can be retraced in Bornich in the year 1245. Frequent economic setbacks already caused the winegrowers 1934 to unite to a cooperative. The building of the winegrower cellar and the execution of the vineyard consolidation of farmland were existence-securing for the municipality. By the marketing boron NIC ago of the “Rothenack” and “Loreley noble” over the “winegrowers' co-operative Loreley Bornich e.G.” one could maintain the good reputation as viticulture municipality in the domestic area. Thus Bornich with some authorization carries pc. Urban in the coat of arms - the protection patron of the winegrowers.
