Hastenrath is a southern district of Eschweiler in the Aachen city region in North Rhine-Westphalia . To the west of Hastenrath are orchards and the Eschweiler city forest .

history

The history of the place goes back to Roman times , which is confirmed by finds, especially those of a large villa rustica with a hypocaust system , a ball bowl made of blue-green glass and other glass objects. The villa rustica was excavated in 1982 by the Rheinisches Landesmuseum Bonn and the Eschweiler history association .

In 1800, Hastenrath and Nothberg had around 1,400 residents and belonged to the canton of Eschweiler . In 1904 W. Meyer founded the Hastenrather Kalkwerke . On October 1, 1932, the municipality of Hastenrath was incorporated into the city of Eschweiler together with the Nothberg office from the Düren district . Until then, the area of ​​the Diepenlinchen ore mine, which was closed in 1919, belonged to Hastenrath in the so-called "Hastenrather Zipfel".

In October 1944 the 12th Infantry Division and its 12th Artillery Regiment were engaged in heavy defensive battles in the Hastenrath area .

In the 1990s, a wave of single-family house construction began in Hastenrath.

In June 2008, Hastenrath / Scherpenseel was able to take first place among numerous competitors in the district competition "Our village has a future".

Hastenrather Zipfel

An area of ​​268 hectares south of Hastenrath is called the Hastenrather Zipfel .
