Until a few decades ago, slate mining shaped large parts of our region as far as the Moselle. The population in Kehrig also lived partly from work in the slate pits.
Since 1799, Boo's own parish has been. The parish church of St. Bartholomew was built according to plans by Johann Claudius of Lassaulx in 1837-39 and expanded in 1896. Since 1998, the parish has belonged to the new Deanery of Mayen-Mendig.
