geography

Geographical location

Together with Neurath, Frimmersdorf forms the border between the Rhine district of Neuss in the Düsseldorf administrative region and the neighboring Rhein-Erft district in the Cologne administrative region .

history

The place was mentioned in 1051 in the documents of the Archdiocese of Cologne , but the reference to Frimmersdorf is not certain. The oldest reliable mention dates back to the year 1210. There was evidence of settlement here as early as the Frankish period, as excavations at the end of the 1950s showed about 250 m north of St. Martin's Church, where about ten 7th century graves were recovered . Closely related to the history of Frimmersdorf is the family of the Counts of Hochstaden , who owned the surrounding area and a moated castle, the " Huhster Knupps ", for a long time . Translated, this means something like "Hochstadener Kuppe", as the bulwark was on a hill on the course of the Erft river. The Husterknupp is an extensively researched Niederungsburg, also known as the “Motte” , whose beginnings date back to around 964 AD. The Hochstaden family was first mentioned in 1080. The most famous and last representative of the family was the Archbishop Konrad von Hochstaden , who laid the foundation stone for the construction of Cologne Cathedral in 1248 . Politically, Frimmersdorf has belonged to the Liedberg office in the Electorate of Cologne since the Middle Ages .

In 1794 Frimmersdorf was occupied by the French revolutionary troops. The place now formed a mairie in the canton of Elsen in the Arrondissement of Cologne in the Département de la Roer . In 1815 the town of Frimmersdorf came to the Kingdom of Prussia . A year later, the district of Neuss was created , to which the newly founded municipality of Frimmersdorf was also assigned. Together with the municipality of Neurath , it formed the Frimmersdorf office. This dissolved voluntarily on July 1, 1969, and the two communities formed the new community of Frimmersdorf. The formerly independent municipality of Frimmersdorf became a district of Grevenbroich on January 1, 1975 as part of the municipal reorganization . The local area has been expanded in recent years to include the new development areas Am Steelchen, Am Glockenstrauch and Bedburger Hüll. In 2001 Frimmersdorf celebrated its 950th anniversary.

At the moment another new building area is being built from Friedhofstraße to Kreisstraße K39, which adjoins the bell bush. There will be no direct connection to the K39. The area is made accessible via the "Am Glockenstrauch" road. Free-standing single-family houses (approx. 120 residential units) are to be built here in several construction phases.

Economy and Infrastructure

Frimmersdorf stop on the Düren – Neuss railway line

Today Frimmersdorf is an important energy location. In addition to the two lignite power stations Frimmersdorf and Neurath , which are supplied by the Garzweiler opencast mine , there is a photovoltaic system ( solar energy ) and two wind farms with a total of 20 wind turbines for generating electricity in the immediate vicinity of the village . Both plants were included in the Energy Road as exemplary .

The listed St. Martin Church is worth seeing .

The volunteer fire brigade is also integrated into village life and has a long tradition . The Frimmersdorf unit was founded in 1932 and had its fire station under the one on Josef-Lützenkirchen-Strasse, which the city now continues to use. On March 1, 2014, the unit from Frimmersdorf was merged with the unit from Neurath. The common fire station is now on Frankenstrasse across from Rewe. From here the fire brigade is moving out together as the new Frimmersdorf-Neurath unit.

Recreation

To compensate for the industrial dominance of the place in the Rhenish lignite area, there are many recreational areas for (cycling) hiking, a model and glider airfield , a motocross track , a golf course and a landscape protection area with Lake Neurath , a residual open-cast lake , on recultivated land .
