history

Marktstrasse with St. Paul's Church
Marktstrasse from above

Hückeswagen was the ancestral seat of the Counts of Hückeswagen and was mentioned for the first time in 1085 as the Franconian Salhof or Sattelhof . The mention was made in the form of a confirmation of a "donation of the hereditary property of the Essen abbess Svanhild, among others by Emperor Heinrich IV. "

The first count who can be clearly identified in the documents from 1138 was Friedrich von Hückeswagen . Until the middle of the 13th century, the Hückeswagen family could evade the efforts of the Counts of Berg to expand their territory. Between 1220 and 1240, however, the Hückeswagen counts moved to the Moravian Beskid foothills and built the castles Hochwald , Schauenstein and Alt Titschein there . On July 6, 1260 the property was handed over to the Counts of Berg.

The Nikolauskirche was built from 1490 to 1508 . Later, after a fire, the Pauluskirche was built in the same place .

During the rule of the Duchy of Berg , the parish of Hückeswagen was the seat of the administration of the Hückeswagen Office . In 1555 the administrative merger of the Hückeswagen office with the Bornefeld office took place .

The town charter according to the Rhenish town order was granted to Hückeswagen on April 4, 1859. From 1861 to 1920, Hückeswagen consisted of a township and the rural community of Neuhückeswagen, on March 1, 1920 the legally independent communities were united. On October 18, 1875, the city was connected to the railway network. At the time of industrialization , Hückeswagen had an important textile industry .

On February 1, 1900, the long-sought union of the Reformed and the Lutheran congregation came about to form an evangelical congregation . This is the reason why the parish has two city churches.

On February 6, 1923, the Hückeswagen station was occupied by an advance guard of 100 French soldiers as a result of the war in the Ruhr . This was preceded by the fact that the Deutsche Reichsbahn had diverted the trains with so-called " reparations coal" (coal that Germany had to pay to the victorious powers of the First World War ) from west to east. The boundaries between the occupied and the unoccupied zone partially ran through what is now the city. The guards were on the way to Pixberg, on the Fuhr, in the Reinsbach, in the garages of the Hueck / Därersteeg company, on the Christmas tree and on the railway bridge on the Schwarzen Weg. With a few interruptions, Hückeswagen remained in French hands until October 24, 1924, after which the troops withdrew.

On March 13, 1932, three communists - Bruno Blumberg, Johann Fries and Wilhelm "Willi" Mondre - were murdered in Hückeswagen by the aspiring National Socialists . The largest political demonstration in the history of the city followed, with many thousands of people attending the funeral. On November 21, 2016, the artist Gunther Demnig laid stumbling blocks in Hückeswagen for the three victims .

After the Nazis came to power on January 30, 1933, political opponents were arrested in Hückeswagen and imprisoned in the Kemna concentration camp . Mayor Leyhausen was deposed and replaced by Albert Gimbel, who remained mayor until the end of World War II and fled shortly before the occupation by the Americans.

The city's post-war period was characterized by many refugees from the east who found a new home in Hückeswagen.

The clothmaker's villas still present in the cityscape , especially in Bachstrasse, bear witness to the great prosperity of the industrial families in the cloth weaving industry .

The importance of the city as a basic center has diminished in the last few decades, the neighboring city of Wipperfürth was able to attract some municipal and public institutions as a medium-sized center.

In the 1970s, the cityscape underwent a major change due to a city center renovation. Some old houses were demolished, others remained standing and were placed under monument protection. In 1975, the district of Bergisch Born was also lost to Remscheid during the municipal regional reform . In the course of this reform the Rhein-Wupper-Kreis , to which Hückeswagen had belonged since 1929, was dissolved and the city was assigned to the Oberbergischer Kreis.

A fundamental change in image has taken place in Hückeswagen since 2005. The city succeeded in bringing key events to Hückeswagen, including an open-air music event and a large summer bobsleigh race in 2008, the first of its kind worldwide, which is to be expanded into an open summer bobsleigh European championship in 2012. The group BAP gave a big open-air rock concert as part of the WDR-2 day . Over 10,000 spectators came to the last major events. At the beginning of 2010, Hückeswagen was awarded the contract for the North Rhine-Westphalia Day in 2013. For the coming years, Hückeswagen has set itself the goal of creating the so-called energy transition faster than other cities and communities in the area. The city should become energy self-sufficient. This is accompanied by the entry into a sustainable electromobility concept . Both goals have also been defined with regard to the NRW Day 2013, which was canceled in May 2012.

origin of the name

One thesis about the origin of the name says that the earlier form Hukensuuage or Huckengeswage means something like the settlement of a man named Hugobert or Hugibald. The local researcher Wilhelm Blankertz advocates a different theory in his publications. Accordingly, the oldest place name is Hukengesuuage , which means something like "settlement of the Hungingen family near the water". In any case, the settlement is mentioned for the first time in 1085 in a deed of donation from the abbess Swanhildis of Essen , which was issued to a nobleman at the time for his court. The form Huckenshove is documented around 1298 .

coat of arms

The former "Freiheit Hückeswagen" received city rights in 1859. The city coat of arms was awarded on August 22, 1892 by Kaiser Wilhelm II . The coat of arms is silver on top and black on the bottom. Under the three-pinned, red wall crown, it shows the "growing" red mountain lion above. The shuttle with a dangling silver thread in the lower field of the coat of arms is a reference to the city's cloth industry, which was already important in the late Middle Ages.

Twin cities

Hückeswagen has been twinning with Étaples in France since July 29, 1972 . There are also friendly relations with Königs Wusterhausen , which emerged from a partnership with the Protestant parish of Hückeswagen. The partnership between the respective fire brigades began in 1995 during the so-called lock festival in the Brandenburg city.

Rail traffic is no longer available in the city. The Wippertal Railway from Lennep through Hückeswagen to Marienheide via Wipperfürth was shut down on December 31, 1995, the station was demolished after other use in 2000 and the railroad tracks partially removed. The next train station is in Remscheid-Lennep.

Since its inauguration on April 22, 2012, a combined foot and cycle path on the former railway line to Marienheide has started directly at Lennep station . In Bergisch-Born, a similar connection branches off the former railway line to Opladen . Since July 1, 2017, the Bergische FahrradBus in the direction of Opladen or Marienheide has also been offered from the Bahnhofstraße stop .

Car traffic

The federal highway 237 and the federal highway 483 lead through Hückeswagen. To improve traffic management, the construction of a city road (inner bypass) was completed in May 2011. The medium-term goal is to convert Bahnhofstrasse (a section of the B 237) into a calmer area in order to merge the old town including Wilhelmsplatz with Etapler Platz. This can be done when the outer bypass has been completed, as Bahnhofstrasse will then be de-designated as a federal road. A date for the start of construction of the outer bypass (B 237n) has not yet been set.

Monuments and plaques

Cloth weaver monument on the Iceland road (view 2007)

There are various architectural monuments in Hückeswagen. The list of architectural monuments in Hückeswagen lists all of the architectural monuments with a brief description. The architectural monuments include, among other things

  • Cloth weaver monument on the Iceland road: statue of a life-size person who represents a cloth weaver. It was inaugurated in 1985 on the occasion of the 900th anniversary of Hückeswagen and is intended to commemorate the great times of the cloth making industry in Hückeswagen. At first it was on the lower Islandstrasse near Wilhelmplatz, but a few months later it was relocated to the intersection of Islandstrasse and Waidmarktstrasse. The creator of the monument is Franz-Otto Lipp .
  • Small war memorial on Bahnhofstrasse: It commemorates the fallen of the First World War, including 24 citizens of the city. Inscriptions are placed on all four sides of the cuboid stone base. On the memorial was an eagle , the heraldic animal of the empire , which was stolen or damaged several times, for example in 1984 shortly before the 900th anniversary celebration. Historical background: After Germany won a war against France in 1870/71 - which led to the founding of the Empire - monuments were erected all over the country out of a patriotic mood, including in Hückeswagen. On September 2nd, 1875 the time had come. In 1996 it was restored with funds from the Sparkasse Radevormwald-Hückeswagen , the Recknagel company and the Hückeswagen Transport and Improvement Association.
