	Old district court	Erkelenz Aachener Strasse 49 map	Built in 1880/81 according to plans by the royal garrison building inspector Hauck. Originally a 2-storey, white-coated brick building on 5 axes with a 3-axis central projection raised by one storey. Entrance axis on the ground floor slightly forward and crowned by a flat triangular gable. The building is divided horizontally by a cornice above the ground floor and a cantilever cornice on brick consoles. Sawtooth nasty under both cornices. Extremely flat hip roof. Inside, the original staircase and the original hanging structure of the roof with decorated beam heads. Later structural changes: 1) Doubling of the two axes on the side of the central risalit. 2) Addition of a 3-axle side wing on the left side. 3) Extension on the right-hand side, connected to the main building by a semicircular link. Justification of the monument property according to § 2 Monument Protection Act. The building was erected in 1880/81 directly in front of the city's original ramparts at the so-called Maartor. It served as the seat of the Prussian district command until 1904 and was then converted into a district court. In accordance with the original purpose, a simple design of the building was sought. For this, Hauck chose forms that are based on models from the Italian Renaissance (Palazzo Vecchio). The building can be seen as an example of the type of Prussian military command building that has become rare.	1880/81	Nov 13, 1985	306

This complex, consisting of several one-storey terraced houses, a "principal house" with a hospital ward and apartment for the management of the house and the chapel, was shared by the Franciscans from 1645 until their monastery was completed and the chapel was also used. The pulpit of the Lambertuskirche had its original place in this chapel. The Leonhard Chapel was still used for church services until 1817, after which it was converted into a two-storey school, in 1903 another renovation was carried out, but the surrounding walls were retained and still give the image of the former chapel shape. The terraced houses of the inn were still inhabited until 1904, while the principal house was sold for demolition as early as 1844.	1645	May 12, 1982	1

On March 21, 1870 the gable of the forge collapsed and was rebuilt in its current form, which results in the differences between the cadastral plan from 1819 - in which the building was already registered - and the current state.

	Jewish Cemetery	Map of Erkelenz Neusser Straße	Erkelenz was an important market place in the Middle Ages, in which, accordingly, Jews can be found relatively early, namely in the middle of the 13th century. In modern times, especially under Jülich sovereignty, the size and importance of the Jewish community in Erkelenz and the associated villages were rather small, at times there were no Jews at all in Erkelenz itself; In the "Erkelenzer Landen", Jewish life was rather concentrated on Schwanenberg, which belonged to the evangelical rule of Wickrath. Only in the 19th century a lively Jewish community emerged again in Erkelenz. In 1869 a synagogue was inaugurated on Mauerstrasse (today Westprommenade / Patersgasse). A Jewish cemetery on Alten Bellinghovener Weg was mentioned as early as 1474. Most of the time until the 19th century, however, the Erkelenz Jews will have used the cemetery in Lentholt / Schwanenberg. It was not until 1865 that the cemetery, which still exists today, was laid out on a piece of land behind the railway line, which was expanded again in 1892/93. Under National Socialism and during the war, the cemetery was devastated and damaged, but then restored, and there have been more burials since then - several gravestones date from the 1950s, the most recent from 1999. The cemetery is now used by the Erkelenz Community High School groomed. Description: The plot of the Jewish cemetery is still in the middle of a predominantly commercial area. It is fenced in, facing the street with a brick wall and a two-winged gate, both apparently from the post-war period. The cemetery itself is well below street level and can be reached via a few steps. About half of the area is occupied by graves, almost all of which also have a tombstone. The other half to the left of the Mittelweg is designed as a lawn; on it a memorial stone of the city of Erkelenz (inscription: "In memory of the dead Jewish citizens of the city of Erkelenz") The tombs are arranged in several rows to the right of the Mittelweg and in the rear area of ​​the deep property. Almost all of them have stone borders. The approximately 25 tombstones are mostly designed as simple steles and are mostly made of dark, polished natural stone. Monument value: As the cemetery of the Jewish community of Erkelenz, which was occupied from 1865 until the time of nationalism and then again since the end of the war, the complex is important for Erkelenz. The character of a cemetery is clearly preserved with the design of open spaces, gravestones and memorial stones	1865	Jan. 14, 2008	336
	Residential building	Erkelenz Patersgasse 3 map	Year of construction approx. 18th century (plastering 19th century), 2-storey house in 2: 3 axes, part of a row of houses directly behind the former city wall and as such part of one of the typical Erkelenz alleys.

	Residential building	Erkelenz Patersgasse 4 map	The house was built in the 18th century. It is two-storey, plastered in 5 axes. Ribbon plaster on the ground floor. The house is a defining part of Patersgasse, which belonged to the medieval street system of Erkelenz and created a direct connection from the market region to the city fortifications. This alley is also characteristic of the streetscape of the city of Erkelenz. By maintaining the house, the medieval street layout and the course of Patersgasse could be preserved.	18th century	Apr 13, 1983	50

	Residential building	Erkelenz Theodor-Körner-Straße 13 map	As in many other Rhenish towns, in Erkelenz, too, after the construction of the railway, the buildings exceeded the original wall. Erkelenz continued to develop around the turn of the century between the city wall and the railway line from Aachen to Mönchengladbach. The Aachen-Düsseldorf railway made it possible for industry to settle at the train station in Erkelenz. Settlements for workers and civil servants were also built in the vicinity of the plants, following the familiar pattern. In addition to the settlement on Rosenstrasse, plots were offered on Theodor-Körner-Strasse for the better-off. In line with the requirements, there was a park across the street. This attractive location was accepted. The Theodor-Körner-Straße ensemble developed, which usually consists of two-storey Wilhelminian style terraced houses. Theodor-Körner-Straße 13 is such a 2-storey single-family house with a plastered facade in the forms of the neo-renaissance. The smooth facade surface clearly stands out from the transition from historicism to modernity. The ideals of the picturesque architecture of the 19th century can still be seen in the curved gable and the cross-stock quotations of the windows. The four axes on the ground floor, consisting of 3 round and arched door and window openings with a drapery border, vary on the upper floor to 2 three-winged window axes with a cross structure. The gable top is structured horizontally by cornices. The execution of cross-frame windows still occurs in the ensemble, whereby the much more restrained design of house 13 is noticeable. Old doors are still preserved inside. The entrance situation has also remained unchanged.	19th century	June 21, 2001	329
	Residential building	Erkelenz Theodor-Körner-Straße 17 map	The house stands in a row of similar houses that together form an ensemble. Due to its good state of preservation, the Theodor – Körner – Strasse ensemble is of not inconsiderable importance for the historical building fabric in Erkelenz.	1906	May 15, 1990	72
	Residential building	Erkelenz Theodor-Körner-Straße 19 map	3-storey single-family house, 4-axis ground floor, 3-axis upper floor.

	Residential building	Erkelenz Theodor-Körner-Straße 21 map	As in many other Rhenish towns, in Erkelenz, too, after the construction of the railway, the buildings exceeded the original wall. Erkelenz continued to develop around the turn of the century between the city wall and the railway line from Aachen to Mönchengladbach. The Aachen-Düsseldorfer Eisenbahn made it possible for industry to settle at the train station in Erkelenz. Settlements for workers and civil servants were also built in the vicinity of the plants, following the familiar pattern. In addition to the settlement on Rosenstrasse, plots were offered on Theodor-Körner-Strasse for the better-off. In line with the requirements, there was a park across the street. This attractive location was accepted. The Theodor-Körner-Straße ensemble developed, which usually consists of two-storey Wilhelminian style terraced houses. Theodor-Körner-Straße 21 is such a two-storey single-family house with a clinker brick facade. The smooth brick facade clearly shows the transition from historicism to modernism. The ideals of the picturesque building of the 19th century can be seen in the recesses of the entrance, loggia and upper floor area. The four axes on the ground floor vary on the upper floor by doubling the central axis. The end of the facade is formed by a projecting eaves cornice above the two rear left axes, which rise above a kind of canopy above the main floor in the main flight. The conclusion is continued in the central axes and the loggia on the upper floor, which is closed with a kind of cross-storey window, through the sharp separation between the closed, gray-glazed gable and the brick or window surface. The similar, rectangular window elements on the upper floor contrast with the different arched formats of the ground floor openings. The facade draws an essential aspect of its design from the ornate roof support above the loggia on the ground floor, the baluster surface of the loggia protruding on consoles on the upper floor and the iron ornamental grilles reminiscent of Art Nouveau on the windows and doors in the base. The different window designs increase the impression. The rectangular openings are bordered with plaster walls, the round and arched openings are bordered with neatly bricked lintels and plastered benches. The uniformly plastered back is divided into small pieces by the fan-shaped combed surface decoration. The roof is covered with Rhineland tiles.	19th century	23 Mar 1995	190
	Residential building	Erkelenz Theodor-Körner-Straße 23 map	It is a house from 1905 in which Art Nouveau colors were used. This house stands in a number of other houses that together form an ensemble. Due to its good state of preservation, the Theodor-Körner-Straße ensemble is of not inconsiderable importance for the historical building fabric in Erkelenz	1905	Oct 12, 1988	327
	Residential building	Erkelenz Theodor-Körner-Straße 35 map	It is a 2-storey plastered building in 3 to 2 axes, built in 1926. Because of its time-typical design on the threshold between historicism and modernity in a Rhenish medium-sized town, there are special architectural-historical reasons for a public interest in preservation and use. The building documents the development of the Theodor-Körner-Straße from the beginning until today.	1926	Nov 18, 1993	164

	Residential building	Erkelenz Weyerhof 2 map	Four-wing brick courtyard, two-storey residential building in five axes, with a single-axis over-gabled central projection, figure niche in the gable, neo-Gothic ornamental forms, on both sides the somewhat lower farm buildings.	Second half of the 19th century	May 14, 1985	297
	Residential building	Erkelenz Wilhelmstrasse 21 map	Two-storey brick house with hipped roof surfaces, on a row of two-storey residential houses with plastered facades. The entrance with the probably original front door is located on the free-standing left side of the house. The most striking component is a voluminous, far protruding round upper floor bay window on the free front corner of the house, which is crowned by a steep, pointed tent roof with slate covering. It has a circumferential ribbon of windows, above and below a strong banding through protruding brick layers. This banding can also be found between the window openings on the ground floor of the house on the front and entrance side. Further reliefs are made by grading the brick walls on the door walls (house entrance and back) as well as in the form of straight lines as roofing over the openings; however, the garden side of the house is more plain. There is an asymmetrical, flat staircase projection with an original door on the ground floor that extends beyond the eaves line. The window openings are mostly wide, in the original probably similar to today's appearance in three parts with horizontal bar divisions. The projection of the roof forms a shadow zone on the eaves edge. Inside, the floor plan, the corridor floor of the first floor made of natural stone slabs (Solnhofer slabs) and the stairs have been preserved, as well as a concrete installation in the basement, probably used as a bunker, also accessible from outside. “Wilhelmstrasse was built in the years before the First World War as a new connection from the south promenade to the train station. When the World War broke out in 1914, the road remained undeveloped until 1924/25. Most of the houses were not built until 1927/29 ”(Lennartz / Görtz, Erkelenzer Strasse, p. 158f.). Today Wilhelmstrasse presents itself as an avenue on the edge of the old town center. It begins with eaves terraced houses, to which No. 21 was added later, followed by free-standing single and semi-detached houses mostly from the 1920s. Overall, there is a high-quality street scene with a clear character, to which the residential building No. 21 with its distinctive bay porch, which can be seen from afar in the curved course of the street, makes an important contribution. It is an original testimony to the brick building method of the 1920s / 30s, which can be related to both the brick expressionism of the Rhine-Ruhr region and the highly developed Dutch architecture of that time. The basic attitude of the building with a pitched roof and predominantly single windows is rather conventional, in contrast to the cubic conception shaped by the new building, as can also be seen elsewhere in Erkelenz. This could point to the later construction time of Wilhelmstrasse 21 in the 1930s. Noteworthy is v. a. the bay window, which with its large protrusion and the pointed tent roof sets an individual, street-defining accent and makes a decisive contribution to the recognition value and local awareness of the house. The relief use of the brick (banding, cladding) also attests to the design and typical quality of the house. The style of the house is unique within Wilhelmstrasse, but at the same time it is an important part of the slightly curved residential street designed as an avenue as an end-row house. As a well-known residential building with an individual design that characterizes the street scene, the residential building at Wilhelmstrasse 21 is important for Erkelenz.	20th century	Dec 13, 2004	331

The round arches are made of brick, the caps of pumice. A chimney with a square floor plan adjoins the factory room. The former gable roof was probably lost in the chaos of war.	19th century	0June 7, 1990	81
