history
Origins
The Via Belgica , a Roman main road, cut through today's urban area and crossed the Wurm near the Rimburg Castle . About a kilometer and a half downstream between Palenberg and Marienberg, the foundations of a Roman estate were found. The thermal bath belonging to the farm has now been partially reconstructed and can be viewed at the place where it was found.
In the Boscheln district, today's Friedensstrasse and Brünestrasse correspond to the course of the Römerstrasse.
From the Middle Ages to the Modern Age
The district of Palenberg is mentioned in writing for the first time in a document dated January 20, 867 about an exchange of goods between a vassal of Count Matfridt of Jülich named Otbert and the Frankish King Lothar II . Around the year 1000 the place probably belonged to the Geilenkirchen rule , which came into the possession of the Lords of Heinsberg in the 12th century . With the rule of Heinsberg, Palenberg finally came to the Duchy of Jülich and became part of the Jülich office of Geilenkirchen.
Übach was first mentioned in 1172 when a noblewoman of the same name was named as Ministerialin of the Abbey of Thorn an der Maas . The abbey had ruled the place at least since then, but probably earlier.
In 1794, after the French occupation of the Rhineland, the Mairie (mayor's office) Übach was formed and subordinated to the Département de la Roer . After the Congress of Vienna in 1815, the places that today belong to Übach-Palenberg were part of the newly formed Geilenkirchen district. In 1827 Palenberg had 98 inhabitants and Übach 1268 inhabitants.
industrialization
Übach-Palenberg has had a rail connection since the Aachen-Mönchengladbach railway line was completed in 1852.
From 1917 to 1962, coal was mined at the Carolus Magnus mine. During this period, the Übach-Palenberg growing together developed parallel to the growth of the coal mine. The growth of Palenberg began opposite the operational area of the colliery along Carlstrasse and expanded to the Wurm. In the roughly 50 years of the colliery's existence, the population of the hamlet of Palenberg rose from around 400 to 4,436 and that of Übach from around 1,600 to 5,570.
Another miners' settlement was built in Boscheln at the beginning of the 1920s. This was not intended for the Carolus Magnus mine, but for the Carl Alexander mine in neighboring Baesweiler .
National Socialism
Pre-war period
In 1935 the municipality of Übach-Palenberg was created from the municipalities of Frelenberg , Scherpenseel and Übach. In 1936 14 Übach-Palenbergers were registered as Jews by the municipal administration, whose traces were lost in the following years. Two women married to non-Jews survived the Holocaust , while the Jew Baruch Dellman was expelled to Poland in 1938 and, according to evidence, found death in the Sachsenhausen concentration camp in 1940 .
During the war
On September 9, 1940, Heinrich Himmler ordered the supraregional establishment of brothels for communities in which more than a hundred foreign workers were housed. The Übach-Palenberg mayor Carl and the Carolus Magnus colliery tried to prevent this. The efforts were unsuccessful. In 1941 a brothel was set up in a wooden barrack with three Polish prostitutes. With the decline in coal production, the use of the brothel also decreased, which was subsequently closed. The barracks that became vacant were then occupied with Soviet prisoners of war .
After the American invasion, the population was initially relieved. For the community, the end of the fighting dates back to October 5, 1944. When an American infantry unit was preparing to march into the Cologne area for the following day at around 10 p.m., a V1 destined for an attack on Antwerp hit a semi-detached house in the Hügelstrasse. The damage to the settlement, which had been largely spared from the effects of war up to this point, was devastating. The number of deaths was never known.
After 1945
In 1967 the municipality of Übach-Palenberg received city rights.
On January 1, 1972, a part of the Merkstein community with then about 300 inhabitants was incorporated. At the same time, the district membership changed. The city moved from the dissolved Selfkantkreis Geilenkirchen-Heinsberg to the new Heinsberg district .
In the 1970s and early 1980s, the miners' settlements Boscheln, Palenberg, Marienberg and Frelenberg and the center of Übach were redeveloped. In 1989 a large recreational area was inaugurated around the Wurmtalsee between Palenberg and Marienberg. In 1993 the former administration building of the Carolus Magnus mine was converted into the Carolus Magnus Center for Environmental Technology (CMC).

Religions
Catholic Church
The first church in Palenberg was a wooden post church from the 8th century. A small stone church was built in the 11th century, the core of which is still preserved today. This makes it one of the oldest churches in the Heinsberg district. The St. Petrus Chapel is also called the Karlskapelle .
Until December 31, 2009 the deanery Übach-Palenberg consisted of six parishes or communities. Corresponding services were held in the associated churches. Since January 1, 2010, through the merger of these six parishes, only the parish of St. Petrus Übach-Palenberg has existed. Their main church is in Übach (formerly St. Dionysius).
Catholic churches in the parish of St. Petrus Übach-Palenberg:
- The church in Übach, consecrated in 1953, was dedicated to St. Dionysius . There were two previous churches, namely an old sandstone church from around 930 to the 16th century, which was incorporated into the Thorn women's monastery in 1303 , as well as the subsequent building that was built in the course of the 16th century. In 1581 the next building with a large tower was completed. It was almost completely destroyed in the fighting during the Allied capture of Übach in October 1944. After using an emergency church - as already mentioned - the current church was consecrated in 1953.
- The Palenberg Church is consecrated to St. Theresa. It was built in 1930 after the Carolus Magnus mine was built there. Up to this point in time, the 11th century St. Peter's Chapel was used for services.
- The St. Fidelis Church in Boscheln has existed since 1930 and was the Rector 's Church for the first 20 years (part of the Übach parish). From 1951 to 2009 St. Fidelis Boscheln was an independent parish.
- There are two Catholic churches in Frelenberg, namely the old parish church (see sights), which was used until 1960. The new parish church, which, like the old church, is dedicated to Saint Dionysius, is a large and modern sacred building that has been used for church services since 1960.
- In 1895 the parish church of St. Mary of the Assumption was completed in Scherpenseel . It is one of the most beautiful churches in Übach-Palenberg.
- The parish of Marienberg also bears the name of St. Mary's Assumption . In 1911 the Oblates of St. Francis de Sales settled in Marienberg. The old church in Marienberg was completely destroyed in the Second World War. In 1957 and 1958, today's church was built on the old site.
Protestant church
.jpg)
Due to the settlement of numerous miners, Evangelical Christians also moved in larger numbers. Until the end of 2006 there were two Protestant parishes in the city area (Übach-Palenberg-Ost and Übach-Palenberg-West), which merged on January 1, 2007 to form the Evangelical parish of Übach-Palenberg. The parish belongs to the Jülich parish of the Evangelical Church in the Rhineland .
There have been four Protestant churches in Übach-Palenberg since the 1950s. The Kreuzkirche (built in 1953) in the Boscheln district was sold to the Free Church Community on January 1, 2011. The Church of the Resurrection in Marienberg (built in 1957) was deconstructed in February 2014. Thus the Protestant community still has two churches, the Erlöserkirche in Übach (built in 1932) and the Christ Church in Frelenberg (built in 1954). The parish currently has around 4700 parishioners (as of December 2014) and two parish offices. The proportion of Protestants in the total population of the city thus makes up almost 20%.
Free Churches
The Free Churches represent the Apostolic Community with its community center in Boscheln, and the New Apostolic Church with its church in Übach is represented by other denominations . From 1981 to 2017 there was also a New Apostolic Church in Boscheln.
In December 2010, the Evangelical Free Church Community Herzogenrath -Merkstein acquired the Kreuzkirche in Boscheln from the Evangelical Church . The community now operates as the Evangelical Free Church Community of Übach-Palenberg. Since mid-February 2011, all EFG community events have been held in the Kreuzkirche. Before the Second World War, the Kreuzkirche in Boscheln, built in 1953, had a provisional predecessor, a wooden barrack converted into a church. This became possible after the Nazi rulers had expropriated this barrack (a youth home) belonging to the workers' welfare and later sold it to the Protestant church.
Other religions
In the Holthausen district there is a mosque for the city's almost 2,000 Muslims in the commercial area.

coat of arms
A horizontally divided shield, in the upper blue field crossed lily sceptres, gold tinged, floating above the letter T in black. The lower field of the shield is split, in front of the yellow field is a black, uncrowned lion with a red tongue. In the red field is a white, crowned lion.
The crossed lily sceptres and the letter T indicate the manorial rule of the Thorn women's monastery (Netherlands). Frelenberg and Palenberg belonged to the Duchy of Jülich . The black, uncrowned lion is a reminder of this. The silver lion is borrowed from the coat of arms of the Heinsberg rulership because Scherpenseel originally belonged to this.

Buildings
• The St. Petrus Chapel in Palenberg, also called Karlskapelle, is a two-aisled building from the 11th, 12th and 17th centuries made of pebbles, broken stones and bricks.
In 1957, during excavations at the chapel, an eight-sided baptismal font from the 8th century was found, which proves that the wooden church must have been a baptismal and parish church as early as the 8th century.
The oldest part of the chapel is the nave of a hall church from the 11th century, which was built on the site of an earlier wooden post church. In the light it is 9 m long and 6 m wide. In the twelfth century, the south aisle was added and a little later the previous rectangular altar house of the aisle church was laid down. The present-day choir, consisting of a transversely oblong, barrel-vaulted yoke and the semicircular apse vaulted with a semi-dome, took its place.
In the 17th century, after the Thirty Years' War, the large northern porch, which is equipped with a fireplace, was added. In addition, a high, triangular gable was built over the long side of the aisle, and living rooms for guards were built behind this on the upper floor. The slender roof turret of the chapel also seems to come from the time of this renovation. [10]
• The pay hall of the Carolus Magnus mine (in today's Carolus Magnus Centrum), in the style of brick expressionism
• The water tower of the Carolus Magnus mine. This was built in 1912 in the shape of a spherical bottom container by the steel construction company FA Neumann (Eschweiler). The spherical tank, resting on a hexagonal steel framework, held around 500 m³ of water. In 1997/1998 a thorough repair took place, during which the lantern was completely replaced due to excessive corrosion damage, the central tube with the spiral staircase for access and the mobile ladder for container maintenance were lost. During the Euregionale 2008 the water tower was illuminated with LED lights. [11]
• The Zweibrüggen water mill, a mill that was still in operation until the Wurm was regulated in 1974 • Zweibrüggen Castle in the classical style [12]
• A replica of a Roman hypocaust facility in the Wurmtal recreation area
• The old Frelenberg parish church from the 15th and 16th centuries, choir from 1826
• The Rimburg Castle on the Wurm is said to be the oldest or at least the second oldest inhabited house in Germany.
• The former reception building of the Übach-Palenberg train station has been used as a youth and senior center for the city since 2002 after renovation and renovation and has been operated as a multi-generation house since 2008.
• Backes / Backhaus Zweibrüggen. A jewel in Zweibrüggen is the old restored bakery, which was saved from deterioration by the village community. The bakery is fully functional and bread can still be baked there, just like in the old days.
• Marienberg Monastery belongs to the Order of the Oblates of St. Franz von Sales and is their first branch in Germany (1910)
• Source in Frelenberg. The source is a listed building and is located in the center of the village. They provided the village with drinking water until the mid-twenties. A thick stream flowed from a pipe into a stone basin "dr Pött" and from there as a brook "de Siep" over a paved channel along the village street into the Wurm. When Geilenkirchener Strasse was expanded in 1934, the brook was channeled and unfortunately disappeared under the street. To the delight of the people of Frelenberg, the spring water still flows into a basin and from there to the Frelenberg sewage treatment plant, where it is used to treat the dirty water.
