Local history

Hünshoven used to belong to the Jülich office of Geilenkirchen. In 1217, the patronage of the Church of St. Johannes Baptist was transferred by Dietrich von Heinsberg to the Premonstratensian order , which also held the tithe . The papal confirmation of 1225 mentions a court that was probably identical to the Hünshoven court. 1457 another court appeared to Hünshoven as Heinsberger fief , who later became the man chamber was under Geilenkirchen. After the First World War, the Rhineland was demilitarized and occupied by Allied troops; In Geilenkirchen there were French, Moroccan and Belgian troops (Morocco had been a French protectorate since 1912). From 1918 to 1929 Belgian occupation soldiers were stationed in a barracks (Kamp van Dinant), which was south of the Hünshoverner Hof on Aachener Straße. In 1828 Hünshoven had a total of 612 inhabitants. Numerous important institutions of the city of Geilenkirchen are located in the area of ​​the district of Hünshoven, such as the Geilenkirchen train station , the main office of the Kreissparkasse, the district craftsmen, the main offices of WestEnergie and WestVerkehr as well as the Gerberkarree with the pedestrian zone.

Catholic Church History

The parish of St. Johannes Baptist consists of the towns of Hünshoven with Hommerschen, Jakobshäuschen, Loherhof, Marienhof, Muthagen, Tichelen, Breill Castle and Trips Castle . The majority of the population consists of Catholics .

The beginning of a parish in Hünshoven is not known. The first church will have been the estate's own church , which later passed to the Lords of Heinsberg . In 1217 the patronage of the Johannes Baptist Church was transferred to the Premonstratensian Order by Dietrich von Heinsberg. In 1804, Bishop Berdolet assigned the parish to the canton of Geilenkirchen. In 1808 the parish lost its independence and was combined with the Geilenkirchen parish of St. Mary's Assumption to form a parish. On August 15, 1844, Archbishop Johannes von Geissel (1796–1864) gave the parish its rights and property again.

In the course of the parish reforms in the Diocese of Aachen , the formerly independent, Catholic parish of St. Johannes Baptist was incorporated into the Community of Parishes (GdG) St. Bonifatius Geilenkirchen .

Evangelical parish

The Protestant parish of Geilenkirchen-Hünshoven has around 4500 members. The environment is mostly Roman Catholic. But since the late 16th century a self-confident Protestant community has developed in Geilenkirchen (today the district of Heinsberg), which has grown immensely , especially due to the refugees after the Second World War . This growth in the number of parishioners led to the establishment of a second pastorate in 1993 . Since then there have been two pastoral care districts.

The first district comprises the north of the urban area with Bauchem and the villages of Gillrath , Nierstraß , Tripsrath , Niederheid , Hochheid , Süggerath and Prummer .

The second district includes the south of the city of Geilenkirchen with the city center, Hünshoven and the villages of Teveren , Grotenrath , Immendorf , Waurichen and Apweiler .

The centers of community life are the two listed churches with attached community centers in Geilenkirchen and Teveren. In Geilenkirchen there is also the community office, the Zille youth center and the Protestant cemetery . There is also a small Protestant cemetery in Grotenrath.

politics

Hünshoven forms a district with Geilenkirchen and Bauchem. The municipality is represented by a mayor on the city council.
