The Savior's right foot up to the base of the calf and the right forearm added earlier, broken off a bit on the right and left of the plinth. - According to the parish chronicle, p. 22, the devotional image should come from the Wachtendonker monastery. During a restoration in 1968 by the state curator, the original version was exposed or a second version in the case of the incarnate of Christ. The robe of Mary and the shroud, the body of Christ and the head of the Mother of God retouched. - The kneeling Mother of God leans towards the body of Christ, whose head rests on her right knee and is held by her right hand, while with her left she grasps the left arm of Christ, whose body has sunk to the ground. The whole group is surrounded by the full robe of Mary. - In the type (with the Mother of God kneeling in front of the son and at the same time supporting him) related to the Vespers in Siegburg-Wolsdorf, Bedburg, Kr. Kleve and Rheinberg.

As the chapel of the Börholz section, the building is important for Brüggen. As a clear and lively testimony to popular religion, there is a public interest in preserving and using it for reasons of folklore and, in relation to the Vespers image, for artistic reasons.	1890	0Nov 9, 2006	62

	former courtyard (residential and stable building)	Bracht Boerholz 83 card	The former Börholz 83 farm complex consists of a stable house and a barn transversely in front of it. It is estimated that both buildings date back to the 18th century, but were changed in the course of the 19th century. The basic character has not been lost; in addition there is the chimney block and the operating room. A later change in the interior is the relocation of a stand in the living area; according to the owners, this was necessary for setting up a loom. The stable has recently been disguised, but behind it the old substance has been preserved. The courtyard is - especially in the internal structure of the main house - a living testimony to the rural way of life. As was typical for the Lower Rhine until the 19th century. It is noteworthy that, in contrast to many other cases, the original allocation of the stable house and barn still exists in its typical form. As part of a row of peasants along the Mühlenbach, a historical type of settlement typical of the landscape, the farm also has the character of a documentation of settlement history. The above The courtyard is important for human history as well as for the Börholz settlement. There are scientific and ethnological reasons for their preservation and use.	18th century	May 10, 1995	52

	Remains of the former fortress wall	Brüggen Burgweiherplatz (Burg Brüggen) map	The remains of the wall are two unconnected sections of the fortification that was formerly attached to the castle. According to the Tranchot map, this was directly related to the castle. The remains of the wall document the extent of the castle complex at that time, including the fortifications. Further sections outside the actual, also listed castle complex are no longer available. Their preservation is important for the local history of Bruges.	13th - 17th century	16. Mar. 1992	51
	Christenfeld Jewish cemetery	Bring Christenfeld card	There are 15 tombstones and 5 bases in the Jewish cemetery. The funeral order is dated Aug. 1, 1883 and approved on Sept. 8, 1883. It stipulates that the burial place is 52 meters long and 13.20 meters wide. It is divided into 6 fields, but the grave number is not mentioned. The distance between the individual graves should be at least 0.30 meters. Today, the cemetery must be regarded as a completely occupied grave site, as it cannot be determined whether there are no graves in the open areas. From the existing features it can be seen that the last burial took place in 1926/28. The tombstones are deliberately left to weather, as a symbol of human transience. The cemetery is the last material remnant of the Bracht Jewish community, which has existed since the 18th century. It is important for the history of Bracht.	1883	16. Mar. 1992	50
	Dilborn Castle	Brüggen Dilborner Straße 65 map	The entry includes the northern part of an outbuilding built around 1752 of the actual castle, which was supposedly demolished in the 19th century, consisting of the tower there and the chapel built by Vinzenz Statz in 1967, as well as an eastern extension from around 1830. The building is important for human history and for the history of settlement in the Bruges area. There are artistic and scientific, in particular architectural and local historical reasons for the preservation and use. The artistic reasons include in particular the equipment of the chapel.	1752	0June 5, 1991	46
	Memorial Kurt Schwippert Cemetery Brüggen	Brüggen Friedhof Brüggen map	Creation year: 1925–27; 1953 (re-installation) Artist: Kurt Schwippert Through the mediation of the sculptor Heinrich Nauen, Kurt Schwippert received the order for a war memorial in the municipality of Brüggen in 1925. This was the first public commission for the Solingen-born artist (1909–1983), who was still a student in Richard Langer's master class at the Düsseldorf Art Academy. In the following decades, the brother of the architect Hans Schwippert, who was four years his senior, became one of the most important sculptors of the 20th century in Germany, teacher at various art schools, professor, winner of many awards, etc., whose work has been presented and recognized in numerous exhibitions and publications. According to the catalog raisonné, the cenotaph, executed as a reddish stone cast, is approx. 175 cm high and in its largest dimension approx. 100 cm wide. The original place of installation was the castle in Brüggen. It is an all-view "round sculpture, three ... men united in a core composition, which was given by three streets that led to the original location of the sculpture." The sculpture is above the corresponding triangular base plate (the brick plinth underneath renewed) stylistically divided into two parts. The bodies of the three men, depicted in soft naturalistic forms in the head and chest area, merge in the lower part into expressionistic-prismatic bodies, which are developed from the bent leg and posture of sinking down (or climbing up). The attitudes correspond to those of earlier works by Schwippert, which are titled “Pain” or “Resurrected”, which also describes the expressive content of the Brüggen figures. “While the bodies of the three figures and their expression, far removed from any heroic pathos, bring out an extraordinarily sensitive, lyrical, peaceful and, in this monument, consoling attitude, the sharp-edged, prismatic and dynamic lower part forms a sharp contrast. In this area of ​​form, determined by the idea of ​​the conflict between abstract forces, the violence of the turmoil seems to reverberate. The great calm of the dead leaning against each other in the upper part of the monument seems all the more convincing ”(Catalog raisonné KS, p. 26). The Brüggen memorial represents the type of un- or even anti-heroic soldier, which was widely recognized in the 1920s. Combined with its advanced design, which already reflects the important artist in this early work, there were already acceptance difficulties when it was set up in 1927. In 1937 the National Socialists cleared it as “degenerate” and replaced it with a new memorial. Thanks to personal initiatives, it was secured after the Second World War and rebuilt in 1953 as part of a new facility of honor (for a detailed description of the reception history, see the extract from Nabrings 1996 below). Even if the stone casting technique and the at least partly strongly expressionistic style later no longer played a significant role for Kurt Schwippert, i.e. rather underline the early work character of the Brüggen memorial, overall it fits in seamlessly with the important work of this sculptor. In particular, the confrontation with the standing human or erect figure, the closed composition and the anti-monumental habitus of the smaller than life-size figures run like a red thread through his oeuvre and are also formative in Brüggen. As an artistically demanding result of the public contract for a well-known artist in connection with his reception and installation history rooted in the history of the 20th century, the memorial in Brüggen is important for the history of man and for Brüggen. There is a public interest in its preservation for the artistic and scientific reasons, in this case art-historical reasons. According to § 2 (1) Monument Protection Act, it is therefore an architectural monument.	1925-27	16 Sep 2005	60

	House and Wayside cross	Haverslohe Haverslohe 24 map	House: 18th century; 1844; former courtyard; Residential building; Brick, 1-storey with a crooked hip roof changed in 1844.

	Wayside cross	Bracht Heidhausener Strasse map	The wayside cross on the road from Heidhausen to Bracht consists of a standing granite pedestal in simple neo-Gothic shapes and a crowning cross with a figure of Christ. On the base there is an inscription plaque with the year "1903", above it is a second plate with the inscription "This is how God loved the world // this is how God hates sin // My Jesus // Mercy // 100 days indulgence ". The cross designed by the sculptor Sommer from Viersen replaced an older, rotten wooden cross that was erected around 1814/15 to commemorate the victory over Napoleon. The location of this first Heidhausen cross was roughly opposite the current one. A house collection was held in the honors for the renewal. The property was made available by Le Grand. The unusual period of time between construction on October 10, 1903 and consecration on June 12, 1904 is explained by the fact that the pastor of Bracht initially refused to carry out the consecration because the crucifix does not point towards the church but towards Heidhausen. An iron grating that originally existed was removed during the land consolidation in 1959/60. As a testimony to popular piety and a historical symbol of identification for the place Heidhausen, the wayside cross on Heidhausener Strasse is important for Brüggen. There is a public interest in its preservation for the reasons of local history.	unknown	May 19, 2003	59

	Jewish Cemetery	Bruggen Herrenlandstrasse map	There are still 5 tombstones in the Jewish cemetery. The funeral order is dated September 8, 1885. The occupancy plan provided for two corpse fields, each set up in two rows of 12 graves each. The fields are separated by a middle path that runs exactly in a north-south direction. The last burial can be traced back to 1930. The reclamation of the grave sites is excluded. The tombstones are deliberately left to weather, as a symbol of human transience. The cemetery is one of the last material remains of the Brüggen Jewish community, which has existed since the 18th century. It is significant for the local history of Bruges.	1885	16. Mar. 1992	49

	former local prison	Brüggen Hochstraße 18 map	The former local prison, built in 1913 according to the records of the Viersen district archive, is a small brick building with a pent roof in the courtyard of the property at Hochstraße 18 in the Brüggen district. The small building has three rooms, of which the middle one is accessible through an external door. The side rooms are the former cells. According to the documents available in the district archive, there used to be an entrance in the middle room, but it no longer exists. It is possible that there has been a change in the construction, as the furnace and the side grille openings, which were supposed to be used to heat the cells, apparently correspond to the original condition. Otherwise, the structure has largely been preserved in its original state. Worth mentioning are the original entrance door, the two cell doors with their viewing flaps and the lattice windows. The building is significant for the history of the people and the place of Brüggen, because it is a rare testimony to the administration of justice and police administration at the local level. Preservation and use are primarily in the public interest for scientific reasons, in particular for reasons of local history and legal history.	1913	0June 3, 1996	53

	Restaurant former Hotel König	Bracht Marktstrasse 2 map	The house at Marktstraße 2 is located in a significant urban development area and, together with the Protestant church (1699), the town hall (1850) and several commercial buildings, forms the historic center of Bracht. The path leading to the Catholic parish church also runs behind the house. The two-storey brick building, dating from around 1800, has two façades facing the street, the symmetrical design of which is a typical example of architecture around 1800. Thanks to the large rectangular windows with light-colored walls, the symmetrical window layout and the central entrance door with a slightly protruding lintel, the building, which is in the rural-classical tradition, has representative features. In interaction with the surrounding buildings already mentioned, it is an indispensable part of the townscape as a striking building that characterizes the historic center of Bracht. Changes to the comparatively well-preserved external appearance of the building, such as the new door leaf (around 1930) or the new roof structure, do not call into question its historical significance and thus the monument value. The house at Marktstraße 2 is therefore important for human history in general and for the local and architectural history of Brüggen – Bracht in particular. There are scientific, urban development and architectural-historical reasons for the preservation and use. There are no historical traces in the modern interior. The interior of the building is therefore not part of the monument. The annexes adjoining the northern gable end are not part of the monument.	1800	Oct. 30, 1990	42
	Residential building	Bracht Marktstrasse 33 map	1658; 19th century; Two-storey brick, wooden walls, steep sloping roof to the rear, split pins with year, windows on the ground floor completely changed.	1658; 19th century	11th Mar 1985	36
	Brick residential house	Bracht Marktstrasse 35 map	The two-storey brick house facing the street, with an eaves, is dated to the year 1799 by means of anchor pins. It has four axes on the ground floor and three axes on the lower floor. The large rectangular openings on the ground floor have double-leaf wooden lattice windows with skylights in wooden block frames; semicircular arches serve as relief. A four-layer staircase leads to the entrance door in the 2nd axis from the left. A younger plaster wall forms the border of the door opening. The smaller rectangular windows on the upper floor - of this size only from the 19th century - also have wooden lattice windows. The basement is ventilated by three hatches of different sizes, which belong to the original inventory. The southern gable wall is plastered and provided with a total of 5 irregularly distributed openings. There is a chimney directly on the gable and a second in the middle of the roof. Both point to at least remnants of the original firing points. The simple courtyard facade contains two large kitchen windows on the ground floor, the courtyard door and a temporary, open shelter with a sloping roof from more recent times. This is not part of the monument. There are two small windows on the upper floor. The house is accessed through the old central corridor. The historic wooden doors (around 1800) have been preserved. Together with the registered monument Marktstrasse 33, the Marktstrasse 35 building occupies the historical floor plan of the town of Bracht, which has largely been preserved in the area of ​​the street layout. The two houses are parts of small courtyards on the edge of the old center. As authentic buildings from the 17th and 18th centuries, they are of great importance for the local and settlement history of Bracht. The Marktstraße 35 building is important for human history and here for the local and structural history of Brüggen – Bracht. There are therefore scientific, local history and architectural history reasons for its preservation and use.	1799	25th Mar 1991	44

	Residential building	Brüggen Roermonder Straße 27 map	Villa Roermonder Straße 27 is an elaborate, prestigious residential building from the early 20th century, which was probably built in 1910 for the local roof tile manufacturer August Baehren. The building is almost square and has two full floors and a tiled hipped roof with a ridge crest. It is plastered on all sides over a natural stone base. Square-cut corner pilasters, a narrow cornice and a decorative eaves frieze with festoon-like leaf motifs delimit the sides and floors. To the front of the street, a curved gable with ornamental shapes overlooks the facade. The house entrance with elaborately ornamented old front door with glass inserts and skylight are on the side. The front is characterized by four window axes of tall rectangular windows with a three-sided bay window in the left half of the ground floor. The side facades are designed similar to the front, but with fewer windows. The windows themselves are double-winged with a skylight divided by vertical bars. Inside the house, the floor plan typical of full buildings from this period and many equipment details have remained largely unchanged. Above all, this includes the original staircase, the stucco ceilings and numerous old doors with associated walls. The basement has a cap. In addition to the residential building, the monument includes the gable of the rear shed in the ornamental shapes of the main building and the original front garden fence facing Roermonder Straße with ornamental grille between brick pillars. The listed parts are color-coded in the attached map section. The memorial forms a positive accent on one of the main streets in Brüggen. It has largely been preserved in its original form, both inside and out, and is therefore of great testimony to the architecture of the early 20th century and the contemporary conditions of the upper middle class. There is therefore a public interest in its preservation and use for scientific, in particular architectural and social-historical reasons, as well as for reasons of local history.	1910	July 24, 2000	56

	formerly Wortham Hall	Brüggen St.-Barbara-Straße 43 map	The "Wortham Hall" was built in 1953 as one of the first permanent accommodations for the warehouse workers of the 3 BAD. The building is an elongated corrugated iron barrack oriented in a west-east direction with a semicircular barrel cross-section. The two smooth gable walls are made of solid brick and smoothly plastered. On the south side there are four rows of windows of different widths with lattice windows that are opened like a dormer window. Also on the south side in front of the western half of the hall is a massive, smoothly plastered entrance porch with a simply towed over gable and flat roof. The entrance with a two-wing gate is flanked by a narrow, high-rectangular window. In the last few years until the withdrawal of the British Armed Forces, Wortham Hall was used as a cinema and shooting range. The “Wortham Hall” is important for human history because it documents a closed historical epoch in recent history and the living conditions at the time in an impressive and vivid way. It is also important for the local history, because the building must be seen as indicative of the long-term use of an entire region. After use by the Wehrmacht, the largest ammunition depot in Western Europe was built here in the immediate border area to the Netherlands within the framework of the requirements of the Cold War from 1948, when the 3 BAD was moved from Liebenau to Bracht, on an area of ​​12 km². There are scientific reasons for the preservation of the “Wortham Hall” because it is a socially and historically significant, because personal memorial of the people who work here or who live in the area. In addition, this building, which dates back to the early days of the camp, brings to life a largely unknown chapter in West German post-war history, in which the British, as the occupying power on the Lower Rhine, recruited paramilitary workers from prisoner-of-war camps and deployed them to build and operate their military facilities. These were the 438 Mobile Civilian Labor Group (MCLG) and the 412 MCLG. They initially lived in a tent camp, were housed in an empty cigar factory in Kaldenkirchen in the winter of 1952/53 and then moved into permanent accommodation in the storage area in 1953, of which the “Wortham Hall” is the last, largely unchanged example that has been preserved.	1953	08 Sep 1999	54
