Adolph Kolping, mentioned here, was born in Kerpen in 1813. He initially trained as a shoemaker, but later became a priest and is known by the honorary title "Father of Journeymen." This is because he dedicated his priestly life and work primarily to these people. The Kolping Society, which is active internationally today, traces its origins back to his initiative. He died in 1865 and was beatified in 1991.
