history

The first settlements took place in Roman times . It was first mentioned as Herigarda in 864 in an exchange document from the Frankish King Lothar II.

After being destroyed by storms , a new church was completed in the 1830s. In 1884 the church was expanded considerably. This church was almost completely destroyed during the last armed conflict of the Second World War on the Western Front. In the early 1950s, the church was rebuilt, including the north wall. The church is dedicated to St. Martinus .

Reorganization

The municipality of Hergarten has belonged to the Bleibuir mayor's office in Schleiden County since the 19th century, which became the Bleibuir office in 1928. The Bleibuir office was merged with the Eicks office in 1949 to form the Hergarten office . In addition to the Hergarten office, the Hergarten office also included the municipalities of Berg, Bleibuir, Eicks, Floisdorf, Glehn, Hostel and Vlatten. On July 1, 1969, the municipality of Hergarten merged with the city of Heimbach.

Hergarten also includes the Walbig homestead , which is located between Heimbach and Hergarten on the K 25 . Walbig consists of a farmhouse and several barns and is not supplied with electricity. Before the end of the Second World War , Walbig was an exclave of the municipality of Hausen , which now belongs to Heimbach itself, but then came to the municipality of Hergarten. Walbig has no permanent residents these days. The owner himself lives in Hergarten, only looks after the homestead and maintains a farm there.

The ending -ig suggests a Roman origin of the homestead.

There is a recreational soccer team named after the homestead, the Concordia Walbig.
