About This Item

"We zijn met achten,
we stelen alle nachten.
Omdat we te lui zijn om te werken,
bestelen we de kerken
Over bos en struik
Door de wolken uit!"

Een van de meest bekende legendes is de legende van de Bokkenrijders, of zoals het in de 18e eeuw geschreven werd: Bockeryeders.
Het was een wrede bende die actief was in het grensgebied aan beide zijden van de Maas (Meuse), zowel in Nederland als in Duitsland en Belgie.
Mensen geloofden dat ze op bokken reden door de lucht...

 

Het meest bekende en geruchtmakende bokkenrijdersproces in het land van ’s-Hertogenrade was de zaak tegen Joseph Kerckhoffs, die tijdens de verhoren van de gevangenen regelmatig werd genoemd als aanvoerder of kapitein van de bende. Kerckhoffs genoot de reputatie van een achtenswaardig en goed katholiek. Tussen 1743 en 1752 had hij in het Oostenrijks leger gediend en het vak van chirurgijn geleerd. Na zijn ontslag uit militaire dienst vestigde hij zich in Herzogenrath met instemming van abt Fabritus van Rolduc en kwam daar tot een zekere welstand. Dankzij zijn beroep beschikte hij over relaties binnen kringen van adel en geestelijkheid. Maar hij zou ook vijanden hebben gemaakt: volgens Charles Rahlenbeck had Kerckhoffs ruzie gemaakt met de hoogdrossaard, graaf Maximiliaan Hendrik Hoen van Carthils, over de hoogte van een ingediende declaratie voor bewezen diensten aan de rechtbank.

"There are eight of us,
we steal every night.
Because we are too lazy to work,
we rob the churches
About forest and bush
Out through the clouds!”
 
One of the most famous legends is the legend of the Bokkenrijders, or as it was written in the 18th century: Bockeryeders.
It was a brutal gang that was active in the border area on both sides of the Maas (Meuse), in the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium.
People believed they were riding on jackasses through the air...
 
The most famous and controversial goat riding trial in the country of 's-Hertogenrade was the case against Joseph Kerckhoffs, who was regularly mentioned as leader or captain of the gang during the interrogations of the prisoners. Kerckhoffs enjoyed the reputation of a respectable and good Catholic. Between 1743 and 1752 he served in the Austrian army and learned the trade of surgeon. After his discharge from military service, he settled in Herzogenrath with the consent of Abbot Fabritus of Rolduc and achieved a certain prosperity there. Thanks to his profession, he had relationships within circles of the nobility and clergy. But he is also said to have made enemies: according to Charles Rahlenbeck, Kerckhoffs had quarreled with the chief court officer, Count Maximilian Hendrik Hoen of Carthils, about the amount of a submitted declaration for services rendered to the court.
