Eschweiler-West is the western district of Alt- Eschweiler between the southern city center and Eschweiler- Röhe and is demographically part of the city center. The Inde flows north and the valley railway line runs south .

Characteristic for the district are numerous public buildings such as the vocational school, a secondary school, a primary school, a kindergarten, the indoor swimming pool, the ice rink and the health center in the Aachen city region . The residential area “Gutenbergstrasse” has been a social hotspot since the 1990s.

Stoltenhoffmühle

The Stoltenhoffmühle on a mill stream on the Inde is worth seeing. Johann Jürgen Georg Stoltenhoff (* 1710 in Volmarstein , † January 5, 1795 in Eschweiler) built the mill building in 1761 as an oil mill. After 1820 it came to different owners and served different purposes. The Würselener Jakob candlestick she acquired in 1911 and used it as grinding and grist mill. His son Werner took over the mill in 1946 and used it until 1970. Today it houses the office of a commercial enterprise. In common parlance, the Stoltenhoffmühle has long since become Leuchter's mill. The mill was sold in 2012.

history

In the 18th century , the district was still largely wasteland . The only streets were Langwahn, Steinstrasse and Vulligstrasse, and there was an island here, which was formed by the Inde and a branch of the Inde, which was disused in the middle of the 20th century. The Eschweiler wire factory, founded by the Thyssen , was on the island, and to the south of it was the gas works, later Licht und Kraft . Both companies were connected to the valley railway line at the Langwahn level crossing via a railway connection that was also closed and removed in the middle of the 20th century .

The Steinstrasse, probably an old Roman road, was named that way in 1898. The now shortened Vulligstrasse got its name in 1905 after the field name "Im Vullig" and refers to the former putrid swamps and moors in the valley of the Inde, which were here before the cultivation and subsequent development. Today's August-Thyssen-Straße, named in 1965 after the Eschweiler son and honorary citizen August Thyssen , was originally a small alley called Schmiedegässchen and was later called Industriestraße before its current name.

St. Michael

St. Michael is the youngest of the Catholic parishes in the Eschweiler deanery . The foundation stone for the community center was laid on November 28, 1971, and the church was consecrated on September 30, 1972. In 1973 the elevation to the parish vicarie took place , in 1990 St. Michael was raised to the parish. Since 2005 St. Michael has belonged to the Community of Communities (GdG) Eschweiler-Mitte ; Most recently it was a branch church of the new parish of St. Peter and Paul. On June 13, 2015, it was profaned for budget reasons .
