history
Habbelrath was first mentioned in 1485 in a pension contract. The married couple Johann and Greta Pickert sold the inheritance rights of their farm. The small settlements Holzhausen and Röttgen (first mentioned in 1510) belonged to the place at that time. The oldest maps of Habbelrath include the Napoleonic "Map of the Rhineland" by Jean Joeseph Tranchot 1807/1808 and a hand drawing by the geometer Aleff from 1791.
The agricultural character of the village of Habbelrath ended with the rapid development of lignite mining in the Frechen opencast mine . More and more residents and newcomers found their livelihood in mining, so that the population grew by leaps and bounds. Between 1960 and 1970 parts of the place were excavated for the extraction of lignite and from 1953 onwards they were relocated to what was then the western edge of the village. The coal mining of the opencast mine ended in 1986. Until the end of 1974 Habbelrath belonged to the municipality of Türnich (today a district of Kerpen ). In the course of the municipal reorganization through the Cologne Act , Habbelrath became a district of Frechen on January 1, 1975.
The technology center opencast mining (TT HW) of RWE Power is the largest employer in town. 718 people are employed here. Large equipment excavators, conveyor systems and other equipment from the areas of the opencast mine and refining operations of the company are repaired and repaired here. There is also a testing department for new technologies. The industrial plant was founded in 1916.
Religious communities
The Protestant parish of Habbelrath goes back to the parish in Frechen from 1543. Today it forms a unit with the Kreuzkirche in Kerpen- Horrem .
The origin of the Catholic parish of St. Antonius of Padua is the Clemenskirche in Kerpen Horrem , which is mentioned as early as the 11th century.
Habbelrath belongs to the dean's office in Frechen and maintains its own parish center , designed by Josef Schmitz-Helbig and completed in 1972, with a church, pastor's office, kindergarten, parish and youth center as well as a Catholic public library. In the church there is a life-size crucifixion group - probably from the Kerpen collegiate church . It probably originated from the circle of JF van Helmont in Cologne around 1730.
Since about 1990 there have been influx of Muslim citizens. There are mosques in Bergheim-Quadrath, Kerpen, Hürth-Althürth and a small room in Frechen.
