history

The name Kleinenbroich comes from the old word "Bruch", which means moor . In the Middle Ages the Dingstuhl Kleinenbroich was part of the Electoral Cologne office of Liedberg . Originally there was a forest area here, as the new settlement was built on cleared land. The Maternus Chapel was first mentioned in 1160. It originally belonged to the Büttgen parish . In 1794 the French revolutionary troops occupied Kleinenbroich. As a result, in 1799 the Maternuskapelle gained its independence as the parish of Dionysius. In 1815 Kleinenbroich came to the Kingdom of Prussia .

The Church of St. Dionysius was built in the 1860s and the Martin Luther House in 1980 .

The community of Kleinenbroich initially belonged to the district of Gladbach and in 1929 came to the district of Grevenbroich-Neuss . It consisted of the localities of Kleinenbroich, Eickerend, Rhedung / Martinshütte, Eschert, Hasseldamm and Überseite. Since January 1st, 1975 Kleinenbroich belongs to Korschenbroich.
