Culture and History

Burbach's parish church is dedicated to St. Margaretha. It began as a chapel built in 1756 and was substantially expanded in 1950. In 1570, Burbach was recorded under the name “Boirbach”; the local interpretation of the name is “the house by the stream.”

In the churchyard of St. Margaretha Parish Church stands a wayside shrine dating from 1812. Another wayside shrine from 1718 is located near Hillstraße 17. At Heldstraße 6 stands a single-storey Unterstallhaus with a field kitchen dating from 1824. A Flurküchenhaus at Talstraße 3 dates from 1778 and has an extension from the early 20th century.

A niche cross from 1727 is located on the old Hochstraße to Seffern northeast of Burbach. Another niche cross from 1605 stands at the junction with the former route from Burbach to Balesfeld.
