history

Foundation of the place

There are only a few scattered written sources for the origins of Frauwüllesheim. There are only guesses about the details of the foundation of the place. There are no archaeological finds from prehistoric times, the stone and metal ages or the Roman era . Only the place name Frauwüllesheim leads a little further.

middle Ages

For settlements that have the "home" extension of its name, it is believed that they by the Franks were founded when she in the fifth century AD, the Romans displaced permanently from the country and settled down here. The place name research traces the word written in documents from the 10th to the 13th century Wulvesheim, Wudesheim, Wolluensheim, Wluensheim back to the Franconian personal name Wulf. In today's Frauwüllesheim, a Franconian gentleman with this name should have settled. When this happened, immediately after the Franconian occupation or decades later, cannot be determined. However, it should be certain that the land around Frauwüllesheim belonged to the Merovingian rulers, i.e. was a royal estate . Plektrudis , the wife of Pippin the Middle , who died in 714, founded a church with a women's convent in Cologne around 690 , later and still called " St. Maria im Kapitol ". This foundation provided the ruler with goods, including donations in Frauwüllesheim, as an inscription on her no longer existing sarcophagus in Maria in the Capitol is said to have shown.

This could be the first documentary mention of Frauwüllesheim in the middle of the 8th century, when the sarcophagus was probably created. Another stone document , carved around four hundred years later and also no longer available, was made as a consecration inscription from 1123 on the main altar of the church in Frauwüllesheim.

Frauwüllesheim and Jakobwüllesheim

Looking back on the place name, it should be noted that the distinctions “Jakob” and “Frau” zu Wüllesheim were derived much later from the patronage of the chapel, with Frauwüllesheim going back to the original name “Unser vrauwen willesheim”, also “Our dear Frauenwüllesheim”. The words "Our Lady" stood for the name of Mary , the mother of Jesus , as is still common today in Dutch with "Onze lieve Vrouw". The choice of patronage, however, is likely to have been influenced, if not determined , by the nuns of Mary in the Capitol.

Second World War

Isweiler bunker entrance

On February 28, 1945, American troops entered the village after crossing the Rur. The war was over for this region.

Near the Isweiler residential area , about 800 m from Frauwüllesheim, is the only surviving Isweiler bunker of type K. It belonged to the West Air Defense Zone , was built in 1938/39 and in the early 1970s by the Düren district administration as an alternative seat for disaster control expanded in case of defense . At the beginning of the 1990s, the bunker was no longer needed for this purpose and was sold to the Nörvenich community, which initially used it as a file storage room and then handed it over to the care of the local history and history association.

coat of arms

In blue a silver lily with a golden collar, framed by a golden quatrefoil .

The heraldic lily, attribute of Our Lady , indicates that she is the parish patroness of the parish, the Visitation of Mary . "The little church in Frauwüllesheim counts", say the art monuments of the Rhine province , "to the finest and most carefully executed, early Gothic buildings of the Rhineland , which are under the influence of the Kölner Hütte". The nave shows large, four-part pointed arch windows , in the couronnement circle with quatrefoil. Following a suggestion from the main state archives in Düsseldorf , the silver lily intended for the Frauwüllesheim municipal coat of arms has been surrounded by a golden quatrefoil, which is intended to show the close ties between the population and its artistically high-quality church.
