Klinkum is a district of the Mittelstadt Wegberg in the district of Heinsberg in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia .

geography

Klinkum, west of Wegberg, extends as a street village over a considerable distance of over two kilometers along the Alte Landstrasse , the state road 367, in the direction of Arsbeck. The place and the road lie on a flat, elongated ridge of the Schwalm-Nette-Platte, which is sloping towards the Schwalm to the east and gradually flattening towards the Maas in the northwest, becoming increasingly sandy and covered with forests. With the Schwalmtal, Klinkum is part of the Maas-Schwalm-Nette nature park . The most important tourist building there is the nearby Tüschenbroich Castle with the Tüschenbroich Mill , which can be reached on foot .

history

The first written mention of the place was, as far as known, in a Wegberger tax list from 1397 ("Klynckem"). "Clinckum" (1454) and "Clinckhem" (1540) are mentioned in later documents. The name of the place could refer to the slope of the local area (Klingt = slope), so "home on the slope". Klinkum is originally a so-called Waldhufensiedlung , the development of which is explained in detail in Herlig Zschocke's dissertation in a separate chapter on Klinkum. Until the 19th century, the settlement of the place extended almost exclusively to the south of today's Alte Landstrasse. The street also originally ran through the courtyards. When the road was expanded, it was led past the old buildings to the north. The Klinkumer Hof in the Tömp district, which had some economic importance, belonged to Wegberg Castle for a long time until 1868 , so it was owned by the Counts of Nesselrode zu Ehreshoven . The first known document about the Klinkumer Hof is a lease slip from 1540. Fritz Jakobs describes the historical development of this farm in the local calendar of the Erkelenzer Lande in 1960; This article also contains a reproduction of a painting from 1726 by the Flemish painter Renier Roidkin with a view of the Klinkumer Hof (original 16 cm × 22 cm), which he painted on behalf of Count Nesselrode. You can also see a small chapel to the right of the courtyard, which is no longer there today and is the oldest known prayer place in Klinkum. The farm buildings that are opposite the house in the picture no longer exist. The huge estates, undivided until 1800, were sold.
The fields of the other Klinkumer Höfe continued in 1825 behind the houses to the south, down the valley to the Erbbusch or the Leichenweg . Only the field of the Klinkumer Hof reached south along this path to the local brook ( Brunbeek ) and was part of the rupture area known as the Rossweiher [cf. Tranchot map from 1806].

In his “History of the Community of Wegberg” in 1912, Adolf Vollmer still assumes that in Roman times a route ran from Roermond via Arsbeck - Klinkum to Wegberg.

In 1789 a school was founded. After that, more was built around the church. In 1835 the school hall was enlarged by an extension and in 1844 a new school hall was added. The syringe house was built in 1847. In 1896 a second school building for one class was built in Oberklinkum. In 1910 a cemetery was added. In 1912 Klinkum, which at that time still had a purely rural character and stretched almost 3 km, had 171 inhabited, 12 uninhabited houses and 178 households with 912 inhabitants. The older houses were almost all about 100 m away from the current (old) country road.

In 1857, the first publicly announced was held in Klinkum Liebhabertheater event instead. As in the following years, antics were performed on Carnival Monday and Tuesday by the Klinkum Choral Society. Later the parish association "Eintracht" took over the maintenance of the Klinkum amateur theater. Towards the end of the 19th century they also played around Christmas time, with more and more pieces of classical significance being performed. In 1958, Fritz Jakobs described in detail this development of the Lieberhabertheater in Klinkum in an essay.

In the chapter on the church Klinkum (Adolf Vollmer: Geschichte der Gemeinde Wegberg , Cöln 1912, p. 127ff.) Vollmer describes, among other things, the development up to the approval of the church building and the construction of the church.

The parish church of the Holy Family was built from 1902 to 1904 according to plans by the government building officer Daniels from Aachen . In December 1912, Klinkum was raised to an independent parish . The first pastor was Gottfried Plaum (1913–1941), from 1927 dean of the Wegberg dean's office . Plaum was persecuted by the Nazi regime . Gottfried-Plaum-Strasse is named after him. Since 2003 there has been a memorial plaque in memory of him at the cemetery in Klinkum . The Church of the Holy Family is a three-aisled brick church with a transept and a five-sided closed choir . The four-story west tower in front of it has an eight-sided, slender helmet that can be seen from afar over the country. Directly next to the church is the stately rectory , built in 1906/07, in which an outdoor living group of a children's and youth village has lived since 2005. The memorial erected in 1956 in the cemetery is a memorial for the fallen and missing of both world wars.

A chapel , built in 1913 and consecrated to St. Brigida , stands on Alte Landstrasse next to house number 174. The chapel is one of the symbols of the town. The mosaic on the inner back wall dates from after the First World War . A plaque in the chapel commemorates the fallen from Oberklinkum.

In June 2012 there were 1,757 inhabitants in Klinkum.
