Bottenbroich (sometimes called Alt-Bottenbroich ) is a former district of Türnich , which was relocated to Neu-Bottenbroich from 1949 to make way for the Frechen open -cast lignite mine . The place was then excavated together with the Bottenbroich monastery .

The place was east of today's Marienfeld on the western edge of the Sibylla mine field , wedged between the areas Sibylla North and South . When the Sibylla field was to be merged with various other fields to form the Frechen open- cast mine in the middle of the 20th century , the location stood in the way of expansion. That is why it was moved to Neu-Bottenbroich in 1949, with a population of 925 at the time, as the first place to develop the opencast mine . The relocation had been planned since the 1930s, but was postponed because of the Second World War.

The parish of St. Mary's Assumption in Frechen - Grefrath was the successor to the parish of Bottenbroich under canon law . The miraculous image of the Pietà and all cult objects were taken there.
