history

Coat of arms of the former municipality of Dremmen

In the Middle Ages a mill ditch was dug, which branched off from the Wurm at Randerath . It flowed on the edge of the Wurm and Rur valleys via Horst, Porselen , Dremmen and Schafhausen and drove numerous water mills. In the urban area of Heinsberg it was destroyed in the Second World War (January 1945: Operation Blackcock ) and later not restored in the course of electrification. This canal also made it possible or easier to irrigate agricultural areas.

The history of the parish of St. Lambertus can be traced back to the 8th century. The wooden church at that time probably burned out towards the end of the 9th century. In 10./11. In the 19th century a small stone church was built on the same site . In 1201 the name of the oldest known pastor of Dremmen appears in the files: "Nykolaus pastor in drumme". The hall church was rebuilt and expanded several times (Gothic choir additions, side aisles, Gothic brick tower 1515). In 1716 it burned down completely; after 1721 a new one was built. From 1760 the church appeared too small; At the beginning of the 19th century ( French times ) it was considered dilapidated. In 1834 the nave was demolished (the tower remained standing) and a three-aisled room was built in the classical style; It was inaugurated in 1835. The altar and the modern Way of the Cross are from 1981, the large mural in the choir from 1993. The organ front is from 1836; it houses a post-war organ with two manuals and 24 registers . In the tower hang five bells from 1953 with the chimes b0 - c '- es' - f '- g'.

The Herber chapel is located in the Herb district . Only part of the pond has been preserved from the former Herb house.

The Heinsberg – Lindern (" Wurmtalbahn ") railway, built in 1890, also runs past Dremmen. The station there was closed after passenger traffic was closed in 1980.

On January 1, 1969 Dremmen was incorporated into Oberbruch-Dremmen . Dremmen has been part of Heinsberg since January 1, 1972.

In October 2007 the town center in front of the church was redesigned. Sidewalks were widened, streets became narrower and road connections were changed. Pedestrian areas were paved decoratively and separated from the roadway by green spaces and small walls. There is outdoor dining; the center is also called " Piazza ".

Dremmen has been connected to the rail network again since 2013.

There is a weekly market in Dremmen on Wednesdays.
