Church district Jülich
The Jülich parish is a parish of the Evangelical Church in the Rhineland with its seat in Jülich in the northern Düren district . 19 parishes with a total of around 86,000 parishioners belong to it. The area of the Jülich church district includes the entire Düren district except for Siersdorf ( Aachen church district ), the entire Heinsberg district and the city of Eschweiler in the neighboring Aachen city region . The district synod currently consists of around 100 people.
A diaconal work is attached to the church district .
history
The first early reformatory activities took place in the Duchy of Jülich , which largely coincides with today's church district, as early as 1520. An important historical event was the arrival of Dutch religious refugees in the second half of the 16th century . In 1573 the Protestant parish of Lürken was founded.
On July 23, 1837, the synods of the church districts of Düren and Unterrur decided at a conference in Jülich to merge the two church districts and name them Jülich. Since then there has been an unified creed in the Jülich church district . Following this decision, the Rhenish Provincial Synod in 1838 transformed the previous church districts of Aachen , Düren and Unterrur into the church districts of Aachen and Jülich.
In July 1953, the district synod passed the first statute on the establishment of a district church rent office and in October 2000 its revision.
The community of Weisweiler, consisting of Dürwiß , Fronhoven , Hamich , Heistern , Neu-Lohn , Weisweiler, Wenau and Schönthal , became independent from Eschweiler on January 1, 1961, as the number of community members had risen sharply between 1945 and 1960.
management
Superintendent has been Pastor Jens Sannig since June 14, 2008 (pastor of the Protestant parish of Übach-Palenberg until 2013, since then full-time superintendent).
