Lockhütte (actually the Lockhütte ) is a small village in northern exterior of the independent city Mönchengladbach in the west of North Rhine-Westphalia . It is the only village in the Mönchengladbach urban area whose development seamlessly connects to that of the neighboring district town of Viersen , especially its district of Heimer . Despite its northerly location, Lockhütte has belonged within the Mönchengladbach urban area since October 22, 2009 to the city ​​district East and within this district to the official district of Bettrath-Hoven . The names Lockhütt or Lookhütte are also passed down as earlier names for the village . Lockhütte belongs to the Mönchengladbach postal code area 41066, which essentially corresponds to the former Neuwerk district .

history

The Lockhütte used to be a border town. Since the Middle Ages, the territory of Lockhütte belonged to 1794 to the former Duchy of Jülich and counted there to Honnschaft Bettrath within the Gladbach judicial district Niedergeburth , the part of the Office jülich'schen Grevenbroich was. The northern tip of today's Lockhütte, the tea hut, was part of the glory of Viersen , which had been an exclave of the former Duchy of Geldern since at least the 14th century . That Duchy of Geldern, in turn, lost its independence in 1543 and subsequently came under the rule of various European powers. Thus, from 1543 , the glory of Viersen first became part of the Burgundian , from 1555 of the Spanish Netherlands and fell to Prussia in 1713 at the end of the War of the Spanish Succession in the Peace of Utrecht .

The somewhat precarious location of Alt-Viersen as an exclave led to the fact that the Altviersen area was surrounded by several fortification rings, so-called landweists . The outer Viersen Landwehr, which was the last to be built between 1420 and 1424, had its beginning in the Lockhütte, from here it initially ran southwest and then ran clockwise around Alt-Viersen to Sittarder Strasse in the north of the Altviersen district Rahser , to mark the border between Geldrischen Viersen and its neighboring Jülich villages (Neuwerk, Gladbach, Dülken and Süchteln ). In a north- easterly direction, the Jülich'sch-Geldrian territorial border continued from the Lockhütte as a moat, the so-called Landgraben (today: Lockgraben ), to its confluence with the Niers .

In the border area between Lockhütte and Theeshütte, there were several disputes about the exact course of the border between the Altviersener and the Gladbacher honnship chiefs, the lay judges . Finally, on June 22, 1722, an on-site meeting was scheduled with the participation of the Viersener Vogts (as representative of the Kingdom of Prussia) and his Gladbach official colleague (as representative of the Duchy of Jülich). According to the protocol, it was agreed “that at the places where the boundary stones are, it should remain there; but where there are no stones that should be measured from the foot of the Viersenscher Landwehre to a rut against the Gülichsche (M. Gladbach) and counted with the Viersenscher Landwehre ”.

In 1794 French revolutionary troops occupied the area and put an end to the territorial fragmentation. For the first time in centuries, Gladbach and Viersen are now under the same rule: the French . Under the French administration, there was a territorial reform in 1798 , with the new mayorship of the company, Unterniedergeburth, emerging from the northern part of the former Gladbach judicial district Niedergeburth (including the Lockhütte) . After around 20 years, the French era came to an end with Napoleon's defeat in the Battle of Waterloo in 1814, after which most of the areas on the left bank of the Rhine of today's Germany fell to Prussia, which was one of the victorious powers of the Napoleonic Wars .

The mayor's office in Unterstiedergeburth, founded by the French, initially existed under Prussian rule and in 1816 was incorporated into the district of Gladbach formed by the Prussian administration . From 1836 the Lockhütte was then part of the then newly created community of Neuwerk , which had emerged as part of a municipal reorganization from the merging of Unteriedergeburth with the village of Uedding and parts of Lürrips and Eickens .

Within Neuwerk, the Lockhütte has belonged to the then newly founded Catholic parish of Bettrath-Hoven since 1898 . Through the incorporation of Neuwerk, the village became a district of Mönchengladbach in 1921, where it was part of the Neuwerk district until 2009 . During a further regional reform in 1929, the former district of Gladbach was dissolved. With this reform, the city of Viersen ceded a narrow strip of territory in the area of ​​the Lockhütte, which stretched from the water protection area Theeshütte to the Helenabrunn waterworks, to the city of Gladbach, whereby the district of Lockhütte was enlarged somewhat to the northwest .

The Neuwerk district was dissolved in 2009 and became part of the new east district .

Road traffic

The main traffic artery of the Lockhütte is the Lockhütter Straße coming from the neighboring Bettrath , the Kreisstraße 5 , which on the other side of the Mönchengladbach city ​​limits in Viersen bears first the name Neuwerker Straße, then the name Heimerstraße and meets the four-lane state road 116 (Kölnische Straße) between Heimer and Helenabrunn . In addition to Lockhütter Straße, there are two side streets in Lockhütte, namely the streets In der Lockhütte and Zum Lockhütter Weg. In addition, the federal highway 52 runs in a north-east-south-west direction directly past the south-east edge of Lockhütte. The closest connection points Mönchengladbach-Nord and Mönchengladbach-Neuwerk can only be reached via a detour via Heimer or Bettrath. There are officially no other vehicle access options to the Lockhütte. Although some farm and field paths lead from the Lockhütte north to the Viersener or Neuwerker Donk , driving on these paths is prohibited for general motor vehicle traffic.

Rail transport

On the western edge of the Lockhütte development, a three-track embankment runs fairly straight in a north-south direction, on which two railway lines run: The two eastern tracks belong to the double- track Duisburg-Ruhrort-Mönchengladbach railway line , the western track is part of the single-track freight bypass line to Rheydt , which branches off a little further north in the area of the Helenabrunn station from the line from Duisburg to Mönchengladbach and in the area of ​​Lockhütte is already separated from it in terms of railway technology, although here it still runs on the same embankment.

For passenger traffic, there used to be an access option at the northern end of the Lockhütte, where the Helenabrunn train station, which is already in Viersen-Heimer, is directly adjacent. Since 1965, however, this station has no longer been used as a stop for passenger traffic; the former station building is now a residential building. The closest passenger train stations to Lockhütte are now Mönchengladbach Central Station and Viersen Station .

Memorial cross to the Lockhütter Weg

On the street Zum Lockhütter Weg there is a memorial cross that commemorates the fallen and missing from Lockhütte. The memorial, built in 1950, has been a listed building since January 22, 1997.

Helenabrunn waterworks

On the western periphery of the Lockhütte area is the Helenabrunn waterworks, which takes its name from the neighboring Helenabrunn district of Viersen , to which it belonged until 1929. The Mönchengladbach utility company NEW has set up a water information center on the premises of the waterworks , which can be visited. This also includes a water adventure trail and a water workshop for children. The Lower Rhine natural and rock garden in front of the site is already behind the Mönchengladbach city limits in the city of Viersen.

Viersener Landwehr

Remains of the Viersener Landwehr are well preserved between the Helenabrunn waterworks and the embankment leading through Lockhütte. As a result of the assignment of the Viersen area in 1929, the Viersener Landwehr runs in this area completely over the Mönchengladbach city area.
