Halluin (NDL .: Halewijn ) is a French city with 20,800 inhabitants (at January 1, 2017) in Nord in the region of Hauts-de-France .
Place name
The origin of the name Halluin is uncertain. According to Alphonse-Marie Coulon (1847–1927), who was pastor of Halluin until his death and who studied the local history in detail, the name comes from halu and in ; halu is the name of a Saxon or Frankish princes, and in means in Flemish house or yard. The place name is mentioned for the first time in a deed of donation from Count Bauduin of Flanders from September 1066, in the form of Hallewyn . Further spellings in the course of the following centuries are: haluwin , halewin , halowin , haluing , halwin and haluyn . Finally, today's place name spelling Halluin prevailed.
geography
Halluin is located about 20 kilometers north of Lille's center near the Leie river, right on the Franco- Belgian border. The river Leie has its source in Aire-sur-la-Lys and flows to the Scheldt in Ghent . The city has a 17 hectare marina.
history
In the Middle Ages Halluin belonged to the county of Flanders and the inhabitants spoke Dutch .
As a result of the marriage of Maria of Burgundy and Archduke Maximilian of Austria , Flanders - and with it Halluin - fell to the House of Habsburg in 1482 and to the Spanish line of the Habsburgs in 1522 when the inheritance was divided. From 1587 members of the noble family d'Halluin led the title of Duke of Halluin ("duc d'Hallwin" or "duc d'Halluin"), including Charles de Schomberg (1601-1656), Duke of Halluin.
In the course of the reunion policy , King Louis XIV of France - regardless of the peace concluded after the Reunion War from 1683 to 1684 ( Regensburg standstill ) - allowed his troops to invade parts of the Spanish Netherlands in 1686 . The French also occupied Halluin. Halluin has belonged to France since then. In the second half of the 18th and especially in the 19th century, the Dutch (Flemish) colloquial language of the citizens of Halluin was more and more replaced by French.
Especially in the second half of the 19th century, the previously tranquil Halluin, like the surrounding area of Lille as a whole, was affected by industrialization and became an "industrial village", a place that left the village structures behind with its factories and workers' settlements no urban culture had developed.
During the First World War , Halluin was captured by German troops in October 1914 and remained under German occupation for four years, until October 1918. The Army High Command of the 4th Army set up a prisoner assembly point (a prison transit camp) in Halluin, in which thousands of French and British soldiers were temporarily held in the spring and summer of 1918.
Until well into the 20th century, Halluin was shaped by the workforce, most of whom immigrated from Flanders, and was at the center of labor disputes several times. During the strike wave of 1928/1929, supported by the Confédération française des travailleurs chrétiens (CFTC), the Christian trade union federation, Achille Liénart , the bishop of Lille, came to the “red Halluin” ( Halluin la rouge ) in 1929 . He encouraged the striking workers to fight for their rights. When he also donated to the Halluin textile workers' strike fund, the business association Consortium textile de Roubaix-Tourcoing complained to Pope Pius XI. about the bishop, who rejected the textile entrepreneurs. Instead, the Pope received a workers' delegation from Halluin and the neighboring towns in the Vatican and awarded Bishop Liénart the cardinal dignity . The 1931 Roubaix-Tourcoing-Halluin textile workers' strike, one of the toughest and longest labor disputes of the century in France, led to bitter arguments between French and Belgian workers after some Belgian workers accepted the wage cuts demanded by the employers had.
Demographics
In 1469 Halluin was a village of about 300 people. The immigration of workers from Flanders grew rapidly in the 19th century. For 25 years the population was 75% foreigners .
