List of the boroughs and districts of Viersen

The list of districts and districts of Viersen gives an overview of the four  districts and numerous smaller districts of the district town of Viersen in North Rhine-Westphalia .

Even as a district town, Viersen is a district municipality , and so the four official city districts do not have the same administrative weight as they would in a (large) city . In contrast to an independent city, the districts of Viersen, for example, do not have their own district representatives ; in the small district of Boisheim , the branch of the Viersen city administration was even closed in 2007.

In contrast to other towns in the Viersen district such as B. Willich or Tönisvorst , the districts of Viersen each have their own local mayor.

Development of today's Viersen urban area during the 20th century

The formation of the urban area of ​​Viersen in its current form came about through the law for the reorganization of the district of Kempen-Krefeld and the independent city of Viersen from 1969, which came into force on January 1, 1970. The previously independent city of Viersen was incorporated into the former Kempen-Krefeld district and merged with the two districts of Dülken and Süchteln and the municipality of Boisheim, which also belonged to the Kempen-Krefeld district, to form the new city of Viersen . The small town of Hagen , which until then was part of the municipality of Oedt , and also a small part of the rural town of Clörath , which had previously belonged to Neersen , were also incorporated into the new town of Viersen , and on the aforementioned date (January 1, 1970 ) was divided between the towns of Viersen, Willich and Tönisvorst. To the north of Boisheim, the Klinkhammer residential area was also separated from the former town of Lobberich and incorporated into the Boisheim district. On January 1 In 1975, which was circular Kempen-Krefeld in Viersen renamed and the county seat was the smaller Kempen moved to Viersen.

Even before 1970, during the 20th century, the communal boundaries were redesigned, from which the former town of Dülken in particular benefited at the time. In 1927, during the so-called Weimar Republic , the previously independent municipality of Dülken-Land was incorporated into the city of Dülken. 1936, so the period of National Socialism , the community Boisheim had also the Honnschaft Bois Heimer Nice to the city Dülken cede that was thereby increased again. Finally, in the run-up to the imminent municipal reorganization of 1969/70, an unification agreement between the town of Dülken and the small community of Boisheim was concluded in 1968.

General information on the structure of the Viersen urban area

The previously mentioned districts of Viersen are in turn made up of smaller parts of the city and district. Many of them can be traced back to so-called honnships , which were rural districts with a modest communal independence, which originated from the Middle Ages and were abolished as such by the French administration at the time in 1798 . There are also smaller districts, some of which were created later and therefore could not have been a monastery at all, even if they are occasionally (but incorrectly) called that in colloquial language.

The following table lists all of this, the official city districts, the historical monies for each district and also smaller districts that previously did not represent their own monies. The table also contains information on the number of inhabitants, area, local mayors and postcodes for each city district, whereby the individual city districts have been color-coded for better orientation.
