history
For centuries, was the abbess of the pin Thorn basic mistress of aldermen district Ubach under the protection Bailiwick of Lands van Rode . Since the Battle of Worringen in 1288, the Land van Rode has been ruled as part of the Landen van Overmaas in personal union by the Dukes of Brabant , who thereby also exercised the protective bailiff over the Übach lay judges' district.
The lay judge district of Übach consisted of two parts: Übach parish east of the Wurm river (= ndl. Worm ) in present-day Germany and the Overworms quarter on the opposite bank in present-day Netherlands .
In the 90s of the 18th century , the extended French Revolution to the modern Benelux and the Rhineland from. Just as in France , the French revolutionaries eliminated much of the reminiscent of the Ancien Régime . Administrative structures were redesigned, aldermen districts and glories were abolished, instead the so-called municipality ( French commune ) was introduced as a new administrative structure . In the area of the former district of Übach , two municipalities emerged: Übach , today a district of Übach-Palenberg , and Ubach-over-Worms .
After the communal political independence, Ubach-over-Worms also received the ecclesiastical one in 1802: After the Übacher Overworms Quartier had belonged to the Catholic parish Eygelshoven in the diocese of Liège for a long time , Ubach over Worms became an independent Catholic parish at that time. For a good 100 years (around 1700) there was a makeshift branch church in Waubach , the main village of the Overworms Quartier , in whose building on Waubacher Kerkberg is now the Landgraaf theater . In 1868 the Sint-Jozefkerk (" St. Josef Church ") was built.
Until the defeat of Napoleon belonged Ubach over Worms for department -Inférieure Meuse . The changes that followed resulted in the Wurm becoming a border river . Übach came under Prussian rule, while Ubach over Worms became Dutch . From 1830 to 1839 Ubach over Worms followed most of Limburg and joined the Belgian Revolution . By the Treaty of London which was Limburg divided into the same Belgian province on the one hand and the Duchy of Limburg other part, together with Luxembourg to in personal union by the Dutch royal of the Member State ruled German Confederation was.
After the Austrian defeat in the German War , the German Confederation was dissolved in 1866. Luxembourg and the Duchy of Limburg no longer joined the North German Confederation , which was founded in its place at that time, the Duchy of Limburg instead became a Dutch province again.
The ruling French administration until 1814 had also dissolved the Glory of Rimburg and transformed it into a municipality whose territory lay on both sides of the Wurm . In 1817 it was definitely decided to split the previously undivided municipality of Rimburg into a Dutch and a Prussian part. This measure resulted in the unfortunate situation of two very small communities that could not survive for themselves in the long term. In 1857, the Prussian was mayor Rimburg as office belonging municipality the mayor Merkstein affiliated, while the Dutch community town of its independence has preserved until 1886th Then the Dutch Rimburg was incorporated into Ubach over Worms , the Prussian part of the municipality was finally taken over by the municipality of Merkstein in 1927.
In 1975 it was decided to officially make the name Ubach over Worms , which until then only referred to the municipality as an administrative unit, as the geographical place name , since the development of most of the districts has now merged and in this sense has grown together into one place still with several separate town centers in the different parts of the municipality.
While Rimburg has retained its village and rural character in the Wurmtal , the districts of Waubach and Groenstraat are much more urbanized due to the coal mining in the " Laura " and " Julia " mines in neighboring Eygelshoven . As everywhere in the Oude or Oostelijke Mijnstreek (literally: Old or Eastern mining area ) there was a population explosion here in the decades before World War II . In order to cope with the population growth, new districts were created: Abdissenbosch and the Lauradorp district, which was laid out as planned . In the second half of the 20th century, building had to be continued in order to create sufficient living space for the growing population. The district of Abdissenbosch and Waubach grew together through the new Parkheide and Namiddagse Driessen districts , while the so-called Onkruidenbuurt (roughly equivalent to : " Weed district ") was created east of the Europaweg-Zuid . This new development area was so named because the streets there were all named after various wild herbs such as speedwell , milkweed , bindweed or the like.
In the 1970s, the Limburg provincial government (under Royal Commissioner Sjeng Kremers , who came from Nieuwenhagen ) from Maastricht and the then Dutch Interior Minister Hans Wiegel from The Hague came up with plans for a municipal reorganization of South Limburg . The planning caused a lot of excitement, especially in Schaesberg , Ubach over Worms and Nieuwenhagen , most of all in Ubach over Worms , where particular efforts were made to ensure the further independence of the community. After the three affected municipalities realized that the further independence could not be enforced, they were initially committed to a joint municipality of initially four (Eygelshoven, Nieuwenhagen, Schaesberg and Ubach-over-Worms, in short: " ENSU " ), then later three old communities (Schaesberg, Ubach-over-Worms and Nieuwenhagen - " SUN "). Because fantasy names are not allowed as municipality names in the Netherlands, when choosing a name for the new municipality, a common feature of all three old municipalities was used: the centuries-old Landwehr , ndl. " Landgraaf ".
After the Tweede Kamer , the Dutch parliament , dropped the “ Hoensbroek ” option in February 1981 , the new municipality of Landgraaf was established on January 1, 1982 . In the new Landgraafer municipality, Ubach over Worms is now the largest in terms of area and, with around 12,000 inhabitants, the second largest of the three official districts in terms of population .
