Former elementary school | Gangelt Burgstrasse 6 map |
In keeping with its urban character in the Middle Ages, Gangelt also has an old school tradition. Already a source of the 14th century. (1351) records a “rector scolarum”, but the local school system may be even older; In the 16th century (1533) a town school is documented in Gangelt. Kritzraedt writes in his chronicle that “such a famous school was and was held in the town of Gangelt that so many excellent noble and unadulterated children were sent here from other places and instructed to the extent that they were promoted to high schools” (cited above. n. Schleyer 1933, p. 73)
In 1847 a Catholic boys' school was founded. After lessons were first given in the parish office and then in other buildings, the school building, which is still in use today, was built in 1911/12 in front of the Heinsberger Tor on a parish property. In 1955 the high school for boys was converted into a private, and in 1966 into a public secondary school (extension in 1969) The old elementary or elementary school system, which was common under the umbrella of the Catholic Church, was put on a foundation in Prussia by the introduction of compulsory schooling in 1826. In Gangelt, the sources record the demolition of an old schoolhouse in the churchyard in 1832. In 1902/03 the primary school was rebuilt between the church and the castle tower. Burgstrasse, former elementary school. Two-storey plastered brick building, built in 1902/03, on a rectangular floor plan with a gable roof. The ground floor is completely clad with brick, while the upper floor is plastered white, divided into fields (corresponding to the window axes) by pilaster strips, window frames and eaves friezes made of brick. The wide gables are accentuated by stepped acroteria-like brickwork. The gable of the dwelling, in which the uniaxial risalit of the main entrance ends, is crowned by such a top. This entrance is located on the eaves side facing the neighboring church and the village. The probably original two-winged wooden entrance door with skylight and segmented arch can be reached through a pointed arch portal with a natural stone wedge (in it the year 1903); the small open anteroom is tiled up to half the height, the pointed arch motif of the portal is taken up again in the glass inserts of the door. Above the pointed arch portal, three windows coupled by a segmental arch and above in the gable of the dwelling once again emphasize the central axis. In addition to the striking interplay of brick and plastered surfaces, the structure is characterized by the large window openings that are characteristic of a school building that is dependent on good lighting. Although these are largely based on a regular axis and size scheme, in (functionally conditioned) individual cases they are also omitted or replaced by blind windows (sva the gable ends). The entrance side shows two-sashed windows, the eaves facing away from the building three-part, in the gables both types are mixed. The ground floor wall to the left of the main entrance is not windowed, but there is an inscription stone with the motto “We do not learn for school but for life. 1903 ". The large roof areas that characterize the structure do not have any extensions. A second (secondary) entrance is located on the rear gable side, the staircase of which can be read through the window distribution in the wall surface. This side staircase, which originally belonged to the apartment, is still preserved today with an ornamented tiled floor, wooden stairs with turned balusters and a double-leaf door with a skylight to the class wing. Part of the interior was not accessible during the tour, others have already been modernized. As a former elementary school in the village with its centuries-old school tradition, the Mercator School (Burgstrasse) is important for Gangelt. If you look at the eye-catching and high-quality architectural design z. B. in comparison with the only slightly younger (1911/12) secondary school at the same place (Mercatorstraße), it becomes clear that this building is still completely in the late historical tradition of the turn of the century. Particularly characteristic are the "picturesque" ornamental interplay of brick and plaster elements and the not always regular window distribution in the facade surface. There is a public interest in its preservation and use for scientific reasons, in particular for reasons of local history and the history of architecture. It is therefore an architectural monument in accordance with § 2 of the Monument Protection Act NW. |

Station building (type station) | Gangelt Hanxlerstrasse 15 map |
The discontinuation of the railway line led to the change and removal of a number of station buildings on the Geilenkirchener Kreisbahn.

The entrance building is given its unmistakable character by the corner axis and the plastered structure, and the goods hall by the corner pilasters and the stepped verge. The design of the exterior of the station building provides the artistic, the legibility of the development of the relatively rare station building of a small train the scientific and the location of the station directly in front of the city gate the urban planning reasons for a public interest in the maintenance and use according to §2.1 DSchG NRW. |

Courtyard | Gangelt Heinsberger Strasse 23 and 23a map |
The courtyard complex Heinsberger Straße 23 in Gangelt is located within the medieval fortifications of Gangelt directly at the Heinsberger Tor and is a part of the street area of the closed, eaves-facing development along Heinsberger Straße. In the street view, the complex is divided into a two-storey, broad-based residential building and a two-storey, but slightly lower, barn on the right. At the rear are further farm buildings, which are also visible from the plots and paths that adjoin them and therefore also characterize the townscape.
An inscription stone above the house entrance shows the year 1902. However, as is well known, development along Heinsberger Straße within the city fortifications can be assumed since the late Middle Ages (cf. Piepers 1967). Accordingly, on the original map from 1813, in place of the present-day courtyard, there is already a system that is remarkably exactly the same in terms of its dimensions as it is today. The year will therefore essentially relate to a fundamental renovation, and for the most part certainly also to the construction of an existing courtyard. The appearance and most of the historical building details originate from this time layer. According to local tradition, the farm is linked to the Dounen family as owners in the 20th century. The buildings are brick-view over the base, the house has a few modest decorative shapes on the street, such as color-applied storey or combatant cornices and a block frieze on the eaves, which is also taken over on the adjoining barn building with an additional German band. On the ground floor, three windows, the deeply recessed entrance (with old front door and skylight) and a segmented arched passage with gate and raised skylight open the wall surface. The windows including the inner handles date from the construction period (1902). The window to the right of the entrance and the two outer ones on the upper floor are in three parts. The roof area is closed. On the back of the house facing the courtyard, which is more simply designed, the openings are also not strictly axially distributed; the windows here are all double-sashed. This also shows that the passage does not serve as such, but was added to the living area (during the renovation in 1902?). Inside, separated from the street gate by its own wall, is the kitchen of the house, with a beautiful plastered beamed ceiling. Otherwise, the interior layout and numerous details from 1902 are still unchanged. The entrance to the house leads to a corridor covered with decorative tiles, the ceiling of which is set off at the side with stuccoed profiles. A round-arched passage accented with fighter capitals leads to the stairwell with the original, straight two-flight wooden staircase (with turning platform and turned balusters). A large number of old frame panel doors and walls have also been preserved. One room on the ground floor still has a stuccoed central rosette on the ceiling, the two rooms to the right of the hallway, with profiled right-angled ceiling valleys, are connected by a high double-leaf door. The rooms usually have exposed plank floors. The upper floor with a (tapering) transverse corridor behind the staircase has a large number of (bedrooms) rooms for the former owner family with many children. In the roof, the thread of a freight elevator is evidence of past farm work. The house has a full cellar (cap ceiling); As a curiosity, a reused baroque stair post on the basement exit is worth mentioning. The two-storey barn adjoining the residential building on the right has a passage at its far left corner, which can also be used as such. Further segmented arched openings are available or can still be seen in the masonry. Like the other rear stables and barn buildings (with preserved stables and another small cellar), it is in a very good structural condition. As a detail, there is an old well with a large pump in the courtyard. As an integral functional part of the courtyard and because of their character that defines the townscape, the farm buildings are a natural part of the monument. As a large historical courtyard in a striking urban location on one of the town's central street axes and directly at the Heinsberger Tor, the buildings at Heinsberger Straße 23 are important for Gangelt. It is a courtyard complex from 1902 that has been extensively preserved down to the smallest detail, possibly with older elements, in any case incorporating similar predecessor buildings. There is therefore a public interest in their preservation and use for scientific, here architectural and historical reasons. There are urban planning reasons for this, as the courtyard is an indispensable part and focal point of the historic townscape of Gangelt due to its size that defines the street space and in the immediate vicinity of the Heinsberger Tor. According to the requirements of § 2 (1) Monument Protection Act NW, it is therefore a monument. |

Former Restaurant "Bij Trautche" | Gangelt Mercatorstrasse 1 map |
The acute-angled corner property between Mercatorstrasse and Kritzraedter Strasse is at the gates of the medieval town fortifications of Gangelt. Oral local tradition dates the building back to the 18th century, but the Tranchot plan from 1804/05 does not yet show any development or suburban settlement in front of the Heinsberger Tor. Only the original map of 1813 contains several buildings here, at the convergence of the streets of Heinsberg and Birgden, including the corner house in question on the acute-angled floor plan as it is today. It is anchored in the tradition of Gangelt as a restaurant "By Trautche", which existed until around the mid-1990s.
The two-storey main house, four irregular window axes wide, has a flat gable roof facing the Mercatorstrasse and thus the city side. Around 1900 its facade was given a stucco cladding typical of the time. The free-standing left gable on the street corner as well as the rear parts of the building, initially two-story, then one-story, are brick-facing and, as former service areas, barely windowed through. The entrance front shows on the ground floor and as narrow corner pilasters a pecked plaster band, plinth, storey and eaves cornices are also indicated by the plaster. The windows and the entrance door were provided with wide, drilled plaster frames, which are made of wedge stones with different, z. T. (ground floor window with saddle cloths) Art Nouveau stylized hangings are crowned. An old entrance door (frame-filling type with rosette motifs) leads in the second axis from the right into the entrance hall, which still has terrazzo floor, probably also from the renovation around 1900. In the left part of the building there are two larger rooms of the former restaurant that are connected by a wide passage with sliding door. Plastered beam ceilings are left visible in some rooms. The entrance hall leads straight ahead into a back courtyard, from which tapped half-timbering can be seen on the unplastered rear of the house, which indicates the older construction period before 1815, the cellar is vaulted with a round or basket barrel. A few older double-sash windows with split skylights have been preserved in the service wings. As a traditional, popular restaurant "By Trautche", the building Gerhard-Mercator-Str.

Powder tower and city wall | Gangelt trenches map |
The city was founded around 1243. The almost 800 year old city wall shows that Gangelt was an important place in the Middle Ages that had to be protected by a fortification. During a tour you can still see the remains of walls, gates, alleys and towers impressively. One had access to the city through 4 tower gates. Heinsberger Tor and Bruchtor have been preserved to this day. The Sittarder Tor was demolished in 1818. The castle was integrated into the city fortifications. Its origins go back to the 14th century. The donjon, which originally housed rooms, is still preserved today. | 15th century | March 12 2002 | 75

Courtyard | Gangelt Sittarder Strasse 4 map |
Gangelt is a royal property mentioned by Einhard in 827. 1144 it is mentioned in the Annales Rodenses . King Conrad III. assigns the Duke of Limburg to Count Goswien II von Heinsberg, relatively unsuccessfully, to take Gangelt away again. After it had been a Brabant pledge for a while, Gangelt returned to Heinsberg in 1420 and with him to Jülich-Berg in 1472. The Lords of Heinsberg promoted the city development. The sovereign castle existed in 1364 and the city wall and the gates can be proven to have existed around 1420.
Today's Sittarder Straße was originally an intramuros street. Only with the construction of the Prussian streets after the city walls were lifted did it become Gangelt's main thoroughfare. This also changed the existing buildings here. Shops moved into former agricultural or commercial buildings and from now on shaped the appearance of the buildings on Sittarder Straße. Only a few buildings were spared these interventions. So Sittarder Strasse 4. Opposite the town hall, the largest Gangelter courtyard complex had been preserved, on the corner of Sittarder Strasse and the alley connecting the market and Wallstrasse. Like its neighboring complex, courtyard no. 4 had a gate in the left axis until the fire in 1870, which can still be seen today from the partial basement. The basement of the original residential building with a arched barrel made of field fire bricks parallel to the street connects to a basement in the shape of the late 18th century. Wide-span basket arch belt arches supported intermediate caps. After the fire, the two-and-a-half-storey representative house was built in its current location. The five-axis facade is divided into two side projections. The base of this house was made in bluestone when it was built. The same material was used for the cornices installed in the level of the floors. The arched lintels are emphasized on the first floor by a strip of brick framing the lintel, as is typical of the time. The two-winged front door in the left outer axis and the crooked hip roof also emphasize the design requirements of the client, which is also reflected in the coupled outer axes of the courtyard view with the blue stone pillars placed between them and the stately interior staircase with the carved beginnings of the banister, the supraports and the stucco can be read from the ceilings of the street-side rooms. The other buildings in the irregular four-sided courtyard complex still contain the brickwork of the previous complex, but according to the girder cap ceilings and the arched openings as well as part of the roof structure, they were also built in the second half of the 19th century. The courtyard complex was already included in the complete list of all Gangelter monuments from January 24, 1984. Because of their design, there is a public interest in their preservation and use for artistic and scientific, especially architectural-historical reasons. This also applies to the history of Gangelt and its inhabitants. The owners of the farm, which was also Gangelt Castle, documented its importance with an imposing tomb above a crypt by the church. As already applied for in 1982, I recommend that the Lower Monument Authority place the aforementioned property under the protection of the law |
