Dümpelfeld with St. Cyriakus

Dümpelfeld is a municipality in the Ahrweiler district in Rhineland-Palatinate . It belongs to the Adenau community .

geography

Dümpelfeld is seven kilometers north of the city of Adenau at the confluence of the Adenauer Bach and the Ahr . The residential development of the place extends both along the Ahr and into the side valley of the Adenauer Bach. Immediately to the west rises the Hohnsköpfchen ( 357  m above sea level ), to the east the terrain rises a little more slowly to the Mansfelder Kopf ( 480  m above sea level ). A large part of the municipality is located in the state forest of Adenau , in the far north is the nature reserve An der Teufelsley .

Community structure

For local church Dümpelfeld include not only the same district as local district designated districts Niederadenau and Lückenbach and the living space Hahn Steiner mill.

Niederadenau is located further above the Adenauer Bach, Lückenbach in the neighboring valley of the Lückenbach . In addition, a weekend area in the Ommelbachtal with around 60 houses, around 40 of which are permanently inhabited, has belonged to Dümpelfeld as a splinter settlement since the early 2000s. It is 1.5 to 3 km from the center to the northeast and was initially created as a pure weekend area in the 1960s. During the Third Reich there was a large military training area nearby. The Ommelbachstrasse leads further north to a position that is meanwhile unused. The civil protection office had a practice area there until about 1997.

History and origin of name

Traces of settlement indicate the existence of a Roman villa rustica in the municipal area. The first part of the name Dümpelfeld , “Dümpel” ( pond ), indicates damp land, the second part “-feld” (-velt) was often used around the turn of the second Christian millennium for the establishment of new homes. At the time of its establishment, the area belonged to the St. Kunibert monastery in Cologne .

Dümpelfeld was probably mentioned in writing for the first time in 1153 with the naming of a witness with the name Karolus de Dumplenvelt , the second time in 1251 in a document from the Archbishop of Cologne Konrad von Hochstaden , which was issued in villa, que Dumpinvelt vocatur (in the village that is called Dümpelfeld) .

From 1815 the place belonged to the Kingdom of Prussia and from 1816 to the mayor's office of Adenau , which belonged to the district of Adenau in the administrative district of Koblenz in the Rhine province (1822). In the following decades, Dümpelfeld, like the neighboring towns, received an improved connection to the road network.

In 1886/88 Dümpelfeld received a train station with the opening of the Remagen - Adenau railway line. When the Dümpelfeld – Lissendorf railway line opened on July 1, 1912, Dümpelfeld was located on the Gleisdreieck with the Dümpelfelder curve (Abzw Liers –Abzw Insul ). Employment at the railway gave many residents a stable livelihood.

A serious railway accident occurred here on August 16, 1918 , when a passenger train collided with a military train in Dümpelfeld . 31 people died and 73 others were injured.

The line to Hillesheim was closed on September 30, 1973. Rail traffic to Adenau ended on May 31, 1985. The two more than 100 year old railway bridges over the main road (L 73) that characterize the town center were torn down in November 2010.

On October 1, 1976, the local communities of Lückenbach and Niederadenau, which had been independent until then, were incorporated into Dümpelfeld.
