history

Early and Middle Ages

The area of ​​Büttgen was already settled in the Neolithic Age, which has been confirmed by various finds and the like. a. a perforated stone hammer made of nephrite and various arrowheads and ax blades is occupied. So far, no finds have proven a settlement during Roman times, but such a settlement is likely, as Büttgen was located directly on the Roman road from Neuss via Mönchengladbach to Roermond . In the 8th century the village of Büttgen was first mentioned in literature as Budica . In the Vita Sankti Ludgeri, a description of the life of Saint Liudger , the first bishop of the Münster diocese from the year 793 , it is reported that he walked through the Hamarithi forest (near Budica) from Budica. The place was called Budecho in 1027. In 1220 Büttgen was mentioned under the name Buydka . Even in the Middle Ages , the place was surrounded by numerous forests, as the names of the neighboring towns of Vorst and Holzbüttgen reveal.

After there was a church in Büttgen as early as the 9th century, the construction of a large church building began in the middle of the 12th century (probably 1166) at the same location: St. Aldegundis . Around 1300 St. Aldegundis was elevated to a parish church.

In 1415 (official date of foundation, the foundation may have been earlier) the St. Sebastianus Brotherhood Büttgen was founded; the first written mention of the Büttgen rifle festival as Büttgen Bruderkirmes dates back to 1529.

town hall

Until the merger of the municipalities of Büttgen and Kaarst to form the greater municipality of Kaarst (since 1981 the city of Kaarst) on January 1, 1975, the administration of the Büttgen municipality had its seat in a building completed on October 25, 1969 (day of the inauguration ceremony) and at a cost of 1.571 million DM built the town hall in the center of the community, which was awarded the Architecture Prize of the Association of German Architects in 1972. Today the building houses the technical areas and one of the three departments of the Kaarst city administration. A registration office is also located in the former Büttgen town hall and in the town hall in Kaarst, which was built in 1994.

Day care centers

There are three day-care centers in Büttgen, two more day-care centers are being planned due to the availability of places in day-care centers that is significantly below the demand:

Catholic day care center Sankt Aldegundis: This day care center has four groups and is sponsored by the Catholic parish association Kaarst-Büttgen.

Evangelischer Johanneskindergarten Kölner Straße: In the rooms of this day care center, a kindergarten was initially operated by the Evangelical parish, which handed over the sponsorship to the city of Kaarst in 2005. The building remained the property of the Protestant parish. As part of the necessary structural measures as part of the U3 expansion, the daycare center moved to a new building on Lichtenvoorder Straße in 2013. From then on, the city of Kaarst used the building as a domicile for a municipal kindergarten from Kaarst, the premises of which are being extensively renovated and modernized. In the course of the increasing number of children in Büttgen, the decision was made in December 2013 to continue using it as a day-care facility even after the construction work in Kaarst was completed and thus to set up a third day-care center in Büttgen. From the 2015/2016 kindergarten year, two trains were sponsored by the evangelical Diakonie Kaarst-Büttgen-Holzbüttgen, while the third kindergarten train remained with the city of Kaarst. Since August 1, 2018, the sponsorship of the now Johanneskindergarten and four-tier daycare center has been with the ev. Jugendhilfe Neuss-Süd gGmbH, with the financial support for two trains being borne by the city of Kaarst. The move of the Johanneskindergarten is planned for spring 2021 with continuation of the sponsorship with simultaneous expansion to six trains in a new building planned with construction costs of 4.5 million euros on Birkhofstraße.

Urban integrative day care center Lichtenvoorder Straße: Between March 2012 and August 2013, a new building was built next to the elementary school on Lichtenvoorder Straße for the three-room urban day-care center originally located on Kölner Straße. In January 2020, the day care center received certification as a House of Little Researchers from the House of Little Researchers Foundation .

schools

In Büttgen there is a primary and a comprehensive school. The elementary school on Römerstraße, which was organizationally merged with the elementary school on Lichtenvoorder Straße from August 1, 2009, was closed in autumn 2011 and then demolished. In return, the location on Lichtenvoorder Straße, originally built in 1977, was significantly rebuilt and modernized for the 2011/12 school year. Further expansions and extensions took place in 2017/2018 and 2019/2020. Because the remaining elementary school was created from the merger of an urban community elementary school and a Catholic elementary school, the official name is community elementary school Büttgen with a Catholic sub-location. whereas Budica primary school is used as the abbreviation based on the historical name of Büttgen. The primary school has three classes, one of which goes to the Catholic branch.

Originally there was a secondary school and a secondary school on Hubertusstrasse. The last year of the community secondary school Kaarst switched to the community secondary school Korschenbroich in the school year 2017/18. After 49 years the last secondary school in Kaarst closed. The Elisabeth-Selbert-Realschule in the immediate vicinity completed its 50th anniversary year with the dismissal of the last 10th year on June 29, 2018.

The five-class Kaarst-Büttgen comprehensive school, which first accepted students in 2013/14, is now located on the school grounds on Hubertusstraße in the rooms of the former secondary school. A new construction of the comprehensive school in the north of Büttgen on an area previously used for agriculture in the immediate vicinity of the Sportforum Büttgen (cycling hall) with an investment volume of around 50 million euros is in planning.

The Büttgen grammar school, which had originally existed in Büttgen since 1974 , was relocated to Kaarst- Vorst in 1979 as part of a new school building . Vorst is now an independent district of Kaarst and was part of the Büttgen community until the community reform in 1975. In 1994 the grammar school was renamed Georg-Büchner grammar school . The grammar school has four classes.

The building of the Pampus School, which is owned by the city and has been listed in the monument protection list of the city of Kaarst since 1984, serves as a Büttgener branch of the community adult education center of the cities of Kaarst and Korschenbroich and also houses a Catholic library and a max. 100-person event hall. The main building of the Pampus School, built in 1902 and expanded with additions in 1908 and 1934, is the oldest school building in the Kaarst area and was used as a Catholic elementary school until 1967. The Pampus School is maintained by the St. Sebastianus Schützenbruderschaft Büttgen on the basis of a usage and operating contract concluded with the city of Kaarst.

Library

There is a public library in Büttgen, which is maintained by the Catholic parish of St. Aldegundis and is open 3 days a week. There is no municipal library in Kaarst.

Aid organizations

The Büttgen fire brigade of the Büttgen volunteer fire brigade has its headquarters in Büttgen, which together with Büttgen also supplies the Kaarst districts of Driesch , Holzbüttgen and Vorst, which were part of the Büttgen community until the municipal reform in 1975 . The fire brigade equipment house originally used (built in 1955, expanded in 1972, 1990 and 1993) was replaced in February 2019 by a new building for 5.4 million euros.

The local association Kaarst-Büttgen e. V. of the German Red Cross is affiliated with the Grevenbroich district association of the German Red Cross. In Büttgen there is a vehicle hall for emergency vehicles, the accommodation and training rooms are in Bruchweg in Holzbüttgen.

Culture

The BudiCantamus children's choir founded in 2000 (a suitcase word from "Budica" = Büttgen and "Cantamus" = (Latin) we sing) in Büttgen is the largest choir in the city of Kaarst and the largest Catholic children's choir in the Rhine district of Neuss. Cantor Dieter Böttcher is the founder and director of the choir.
