Gnadental is a district of the district town of Neuss . With an area of ​​2.20 km² and 5,112 inhabitants (as of June 30, 2011), Gnadental is one of the medium-sized districts. Although large parts of it were not built until after the Second World War , the district looks back on a long history.

history

At 16 BC The Romans built the extensive legionary camp Novaesium of the VI on the Heerstrasse between Cologne and Xanten . Legion, which was occupied until the middle of the 4th century. There was also a Cybele cult site , which was excavated in 1956. The first post-Roman settlement and an associated burial ground are about 750 meters southwest of the Roman camp.

Around 1250 a Cistercian convent was built in the Vallis Gratiae (Valley of Grace) .

Main article Gnadental Monastery (Neuss)

The more than 550-year history ended in 1802 with the Napoleonic secularization . The monastery became the Gnadental estate. In 1945 the property was 70% destroyed by American air raids. The remains of the building were restored in 1996 and are now used as the Zülow conference venue.

Line 1 of the Neuss tram ran from 1925 to 1971 in the east of Gnadental .

religion

The parish church of St. Konrad is located in Gnadental . The consecration took place on April 20, 1958. The church of the Protestant community is the Kreuzkirche.

Economy and culture

Today's Gnadental is economically rather insignificant, but a popular residential location, both because of the good transport connections and because of the high recreational value. Despite its name, the Grimlinghausen sports harbor does not belong to the Grimlinghausen district , but to Gnadental. The area around the sports harbor, together with the stadium district, is one of the most expensive residential areas in Neuss.

societies

The district is characterized by a rich club life, which determines the social life of the "green district of Neuss". The clubs include the DJK Gnadental football club and the Neuss-Gnadental e. V. You can also play football on an artificial turf and a natural grass field, and tennis on six clay courts.
