The village of Huchem-Stammeln ( Dürener Platt Huchem-Stammele ) is the second largest district of the Niederzier community . It is in the district of Düren in North Rhine-Westphalia near the Roer and a few hundred meters from the intersection of the motorway A 4 Cologne - Aachen and the B 56 from Düren to Jülich .

geography

The villages of Hochem and Stammelen and the Niederköttenicher and Oberköttenicher mills around 1807

The village arose from three places, Huchem (south), Stammeln (north) and Köttenich (west). The fact that these elongated localities grew together at their outer ends meant that the spatial center of the village consisted of larger arable and pasture areas , which was enclosed by a thin ring of built-up area. This form of settlement is of pile villages dominated Cologne bay rarely found. Due to the strong growth of the village since the middle of the 20th century, the arable land in the center of the village was gradually converted into building land , so that today only a few hectares of the town center are undeveloped.

The Lange Graben flows on the old border of the former part of the village Köttenich to Huchem and Stammeln , a former water-bearing receiving water that flows into the Rur near Selhausen . With the expansion of the industrial areas around the A 4 (Rurbenden, Talbenden (zu Düren), Großes Tal (zu Düren)), large parts of its source area were sealed. As a consequence, the stream often runs dry. The water load also rises sharply during heavy summer rain. At the end of the 1990s it happened regularly that the water load of the creek at the entrance to the residential area of ​​the village was so great that there was a backwater in the canal system, which flooded many cellars. As a result, the Niederzier community decided to build rain retention basins and an additional rainwater canal from the Lange Graben to the Rur.

history

Map section from a map of the Duchy of Jülich by Guillaume Sanson 1681

Early cartographic evidence of the existence of the two districts of Huchem (Hocktert) and Stammeln (Stammel) can be found on a map from 1681. The map by the French court cartographer Guillaume Sanson is entitled “Le Duché de Iuliers ... et la Ville Imperiale d 'Aix la chapelle'.

In the population list of the year 1799, 214 inhabitants and a stock of 56 houses are shown for the two villages of Huchem / Hochheim and Stammeln / Stammelen, without any distinction being made according to affiliation to the individual village. In the 19th century, the two hamlets of Huchem (or: Hochem) and Stammeln were a few 100 meters apart on the right slope of the Ruraue, corresponding roughly to the course of Köttenicher Straße (Stammeln) and Bahnhofstraße (Huchem), each roughly from the Hochheimstraße to Buchenweg / Mittelstraße (today's street names). The upper and lower Köttenich mills were located just outside the present-day western outskirts near the Rur, a good half a kilometer from Huchem and Stammeln. In 1873 the Jülich – Düren railway line was opened to the west of the two hamlets . In the second half of the 19th century, when Huchem and Stammeln slowly grew closer to each other, the parish church of St. Josef was built for both places on the outskirts of Stammeln facing Huchem.

The village's growth received a decisive impetus when Leopold Schoeller Jr. from Düren . (A scion of the Düren industrialist family Schoeller ) built a cotton mill in 1889 in the district of Köttenich on the new Düren-Jülich Landstrasse . This textile factory expanded rapidly in the following decades; the textile workers were largely settled on site. In the period that followed, Huchem-Stammeln, in particular Köttenich, increasingly became a workers' settlement that was economically very dependent on Schoeller's textile factory .

During the Second World War in autumn / winter 1944/45 the village was near the western front for some time (see: Rurfront ) and was considerably destroyed. The Schoeller textile factory was able to build on its previous successes after the war, but the municipality tried to reduce the village's economic dependence on the factory . The Rurbenden industrial park was designated in the south of the village and has since been expanded several times. In the last quarter of the 20th century, the Schoeller textile factory came under increasing cost pressure and engineered its production , which resulted in the loss of many jobs . Shortly after 2000, textile production at the Huchem-Stammeln location was completely stopped. Since the Rurbenden industrial park is now almost completely occupied by commercial and commercial enterprises, one could speak of a successful structural change. In the meantime, however, several large industrial plants are empty due to relocations and bankruptcies. The commercial area is now more shaped by retail and services.
