Kornelimünster is a village on the Inde in the Münsterländchen and southeastern part of Aachen ( Kornelimünster / Walheim district ).
history
In 814 Benedikt von Aniane (750–821) founded the Kornelimünster monastery on the river Inde with Emperor Ludwig the Pious , successor of Charlemagne , as an advisor . The monastery was initially known as the Redeemer Monastery on the Inde , Inda for short .
In the middle of the 9th century the monastery became imperial and received large holdings of land and the so-called biblical or Salvator sanctuaries: the apron, the handkerchief and the shroud of the Lord.
In 875 half of the shroud was exchanged for a head relic of the pope martyr Cornelius († 253). The monastery was then called Sancti Cornelii ad Indam , later Kornelimünster . Today the official title is Abbey of the Holy Abbot Benedict of Aniane and Pope Cornelius .
In 1500 the Imperial Prince Abbey of Kornelimünster became part of the Lower Rhine-Westphalian Empire .
In 1802 the Kornelimünster area fell to France. The imperial abbey , like other monasteries in the French-occupied Rhineland, was abolished in the same year with a decree of the French government on secularization and the monks had to leave the monastery. Kornelimünster became a mairie in the canton of Burtscheid . 1815 fell Kornelimünster of Prussia and was a mayor part of the district of Aachen in the administrative district of Aachen . In 1906 Benedictines came again to Kornelimünster and founded the New Benedictine Abbey Kornelimünster . The old abbey church of St. Kornelius is now the parish church of the village. The old abbey buildings are owned by the state of North Rhine-Westphalia , which operates the institution of art from North Rhine-Westphalia there . Various sculptures are set up outside.
During the Second World War , the fighting on the Western Front reached the south of Aachen in autumn 1944. On September 14, 1944, US units captured Kornelimünster without causing any major damage. At the end of September the US Army set up the first court (“summary court”) on German territory in Kornelimünster.
In 1971 Kornelimünster and Breinig, Mulartshütte , Roetgen , Venwegen and Walheim pleaded for the formation of a municipality in Münsterland. But the Kornelimünster area was divided up on January 1, 1972 for reasons of settlement geography as follows: Kornelimünster / Walheim became a district of Aachen and Breinig and Venwegen went to Stolberg . The municipality of Roetgen was formed from Mulartshütte, Rott and Roetgen, with 8000 inhabitants the smallest municipality in the new district of Aachen .
religion
- After the Archbishop of Cologne, the abbot of the monastery had the privilege of coronation for German emperors.
- In addition to the veneration of Saint Cornelius and the Korneli oktav , an eight-day high church festival, the Kornelimünster Shrine Tour is of great importance and is celebrated every seven years together with the Aachen Shrine Tour and the Mönchengladbach Shrine Tour.
- Kornelimünster is the seat of the Evangelical Church Community Kornelimünster-Zweifall (formerly the church community Zweifall). It has existed since 1575. It extends over five districts in the south of Stolberg and eleven districts in the south of the city of Aachen. There has been a small Protestant church in the Zweifall district since 1683. After the Second World War, refugees and the reconstruction of the Rhenish-Westphalian Technical University in the other districts saw high growth in parish members, a new Protestant parish center was built in Kornelimünster in 1965 (part of Aachen since 1972) Increase in the number of parishioners, rebuilt in 1997 and built as a new church. A church window by the local artist Janet Brooks Gerloff has been decorating the church on Schleckheimer Strasse since the 1st of Advent 2009, which was made by the Derix glass studio in Taunusstein .
- Opposite the communal cemetery is the Kornelimünster Jewish cemetery .
