The new town hall

Center of Inden / Altdorf

Inden / Altdorf is part of the municipality of Inden in the Düren district , which was planned and built as the new town center in the 1990s . The name was taken over from the former Inden parts of the municipality Altdorf and Inden , which were excavated because of the Inden open-cast lignite mine .

The new town hall, the police station, a kindergarten, a primary school, the new Catholic Church and the new Protestant parish hall are located in Inden / Altdorf. The Wehebach flows through the village . The Lützeler house , the Geuenich memorial with a newly built memorial chapel and the whole place as an example of urban planning in the 1990s are worth seeing .

Surname

The official name Inden / Altdorf with a slash is not used very often in Germany. This came about when former Altdorfers protested against the original name suggestion "Inden-Altdorf", since the name behind the hyphen seems to have a lower position than the first word. That is why they agreed on the name Inden / Altdorf, in which both localities should be reflected equally.

Street names

The Inden / Altdorfer street names Alter Markt , Brockengasse , Gronental , Im Schlehental , Löwenstraße and Pumpengasse are former Altdorfer street names that were reused in Inden / Altdorf. Former, reused street names of Alt-Inden are Auf dem Driesch , Buschweg , Buchenweg , Friedensstraße , Geuenicher Straße , Hauptstraße , Kirchstraße , Lindenstraße , Neustraße , Römerstraße , Rössener Straße and Uferstraße .

Other street names have been taken from Geuenich or the part of the municipality Pier , which will soon give way to open-cast mining . In the case of drivers who are unfamiliar with the location, this usually leads to them being led into today's ghost town of Pier when using navigation devices , even though they actually wanted to head for a destination in the new development areas.

history

In the area of today's Inden / Altdorf, there were only the Lützeler and Felder houses on the Wehebach, as well as two paths , until construction began . One way led from Lamersdorf via the A 4 to Langerwehe : these are today's streets “Uferstraße”, a piece “Hauptstraße” and “Friedensstraße”. The other way led to the Lützeler house and further to the Büttgen house: today this is "Geuenicher Straße".

The new Inden / Altdorf was built exactly in the middle of the triangle-arranged villages of Frenz , Lamersdorf and Lucherberg and connected to them, so that the four places together form a dense settlement area today.
