history

This article or the following section is not adequately provided with supporting documents ( e.g. individual evidence ). Information without sufficient evidence could be removed soon. Please help Wikipedia by researching the information and including good evidence.

Horst, on the edge of a terrace facing the Wurmtal, is one of the last villages in the town of Heinsberg to the east. The name Horst means "an area with undergrowth". It appears for the first time in a document from 1223. There it says in Latin "citra Randenrode qui Hurst nuncupat" ("this side of Randerath"), which is what Horst calls himself.

The document describes the surrounding landscape as "loco palustri et nemoroso", i. H. as a swampy and wooded area.

For the original creation of Horst, based on the manorial structures, the 9th / 10th Century assumed.

The local Fronhof was Heinsberg fief. It first appeared in the fiefdom register in the 14th century and was in the hands of Golin von Bracht at that time.

The sale of the farm to Heinrich Bluven is mentioned in a document from 1372. His son, also named Heinrich Bluven, was a canon and cantor at the Gangolfuss monastery in Heinsberg. In 1394 he donated the farm to the Gangolfuss pen; this happened before the liege lord Johann (II.) von Loin-Heinsberg. Although a clergyman, Heinrich Bluven had children with a woman named Hilken Kertzgens - a relationship not entirely unusual at the time. The farm was left to these descendants to use until their death in 1437, because they had rebuilt the building after a fire.

Since it was transferred to the Gangolfuss pen, the Hof zu Horst has long been referred to as the “Kapitel Hof”. In 1492 the farm's lands were finally given to five parties for long lease.

The location of the courtyard cannot be determined from the sources. According to oral tradition, it is said to have been above the mill, which, according to today's interpretation, corresponds to the location of the Sausen-Krings farm.

Independent of the Hof zu Horst and the location of the same name, the settlement "zum Holz" with its own Fronhof was built around the same time. The location of the settlement corresponds to the lower course of today's Weidenstrasse. After the “zum Holz” farm lost its importance early on, the settlement of the same name merged with the Horst location. Until 1652 and 1658, residents of “wood” or “Holt” were mentioned in the Dremmen church records.

Structures from this time or the Holz settlement were preserved until 1936 with the predecessor of the later Schaffrath house. It should be noted that at the beginning of the 19th century there was still a gap, albeit a small one, between the row of houses on “Holzer Straße” and the actual town center of Horst. Furthermore, the field name "Holzer Feld" has been preserved to this day.

The Horster watermill, driven by the Mühlenbach, was first mentioned in documents in 1492, but was probably a lot older. An original connection with the Horster Fronhof and the local manor can be regarded as certain.

The cap bush was cleared more and more, and stately farms were built, which included a lot of pastureland. The interest, which one still had to hand over to the local rent office in Heinsberg in the form of oats , was finally paid off and the land became free farming.

For a long time, the Hölkerather Flur between Horst and Herb was part of the Horst district . It is said that there was a castle here, from which robber barons attacked the surrounding villages. According to tradition, the Horst farmers banded together and attacked the Hölkerather settlement with scythes and flails , set it on fire and destroyed it. Shortly after the French Revolution , Horst also felt the effects of it, because it was occupied and remained under French administration for a long time. The French occupation left its mark on the colloquial language of the population, some terms from the French language are still in use today. In the 19th century, the craft of velvet weaving flourished in Horst . The velvet was brought to Krefeld . But when mechanical looms were set up there, all residents who did not own much land got into trouble. They turned the basketry and wooden shoe making to.

At the turn of the century there were significant changes for Horst and its surroundings. The construction of the Lindern - Heinsberg railway line began. The foundation stone for the Horster parish church of St. Josef was laid on the "Köresberg" . The church was consecrated in 1913 and Horst became an independent parish. Many Horster citizens soon found work in the newly built United Glanzstoff-Fabriken AG in Oberbruch or in the newly developed coal mine, Zeche Sophia-Jacoba in Hückelhoven . After the First World War , a new school was built. During the Second World War , the residents evacuated their village and fled. After they returned home, they rebuilt their church, which had come under heavy fire.

The school was closed in 1969 and the premises have been used as a kindergarten ever since.

With the municipal reorganization, Horst became a district of the city of Heinsberg.

Buildings

Parish Church of St. Joseph

The parish church “St. Josef ”was built in 1894 as a single-nave neo-Gothic brick church.

Watermill

Already around the year 800 AD a mill stream was branched off between Nirm and Randerath, which was called "Jonge Worm" ("young worm"). This brook led via Randerath, Horst, Porselen, Dremmen on to Heinsberg and also served as a drive for the Horster watermill.

In 1957 the Horster watermill was shut down and the "Junge Wurm", a tributary of the Wurm , was filled in.

Community center

In 2000 the mayor of the town of Heinsberg, Mr. Offergeld, Horst, submitted an application to the mayor of Heinsberg to provide suitable rooms for the clubs and celebrations. These rooms were missing at old days, bazaars, exhibitions and also the associations for the organization of their events. The Musikverein Horst in particular lacked a rehearsal room with the possibility of storing its musical instruments there. In 2003 the city of Heinsberg decided to build a hall. In 2004 the groundbreaking ceremony took place by Mayor Offergeld. The topping-out ceremony took place in the same year.
