Lank-Latum is one of eight districts of the city of Meerbusch , which is located between the major cities of Düsseldorf , Krefeld , Duisburg and Neuss on the left Lower Rhine. 9806 people live in Lank-Latum (as of December 31, 2010).
history
The parish Lank included the villages Lank, Latum, Kierst, Langst, Ilverich, Meerbusch Bösinghoven, Ossum and Gellep, Stratum and Heulesheim and since the Middle Ages Nierst . Probably at the time of Christianization around 700 to 900 (Krefeld-) Bockum and Linn were also part of it. The St. Stephen Patronage in Lank indicates an early missionary activity in this area by the nearby monastery of St. Suitbert in (Düsseldorf-) Kaiserswerth . Bockum and Linn have been independent parishes since the Middle Ages.
The Land of Linn, to which the parish of Lank belonged, finally came to the Electorate of Cologne in 1392 from the Counts of Kleve . The affiliation of the Linn office to the Lower Archbishopric remained until the French revolutionary troops moved in in 1794. The French divided the parish of Lank into three secular Mairien (mayor's offices), namely Mairie Lank, which also included Latum and Ilverich, Mairie Langst with Langst, Kierst, Nierst and Gellep-Stratum, and Mairie Strümp with Stocking, Ossum and Bösinghoven. This division was retained even after the transition to Prussia in 1815. Since 1821 there was a common mayor for all three mayor's offices. In 1842 the Lank mayor's office was founded with the eight special municipalities of Lank, Latum, Nierst , Langst-Kierst , Ilverich, Strümp, Ossum-Bösinghoven and Gellep-Stratum.
On April 1, 1910, the two communities Lank and Latum were united under the name Lank-Latum at their own request. After the introduction of the Prussian official order in 1927, the name Amt Lank was used for the Lank mayor's office . In 1929 Gellep-Stratum with Heulesheim and larger areas on the Latumer Bruch left the official area and were assigned to the city of Krefeld. At the same time, the previous district of Krefeld, to which the Lank office belonged, was enlarged and renamed the district of Kempen-Krefeld.
Lank-Latum was incorporated into Meerbusch on January 1, 1970.
In 1974 the state parliament of North Rhine-Westphalia decided to dissolve the city of Meerbusch and to incorporate Lank-Latum into the city of Krefeld. However, the city of Meerbusch obtained the suspension of the dissolution decision at the constitutional court in Münster . The state parliament of North Rhine-Westphalia then confirmed the existence of the city of Meerbusch in 1976.
Surname
Lank is first mentioned in a document from 733 as Beslanc , later also as Lancho , Lanco , Lanke , Lanch and Langium . Latum is written as Latheim in an 11th century source . Various interpretations of both names have not yet been finally clarified:
Lank is interpreted as a derivation of Lancwata (Celt .: "long water"), on the other hand there is the theory that the name is derived from a proper name (Belsus). The first interpretation is seen as outdated.
Latum is derived from the "home of the Laten", (branch of the semi-free farmers who are subject to interest in a manor). Another version interprets Latum as a settlement or a home in or on a swampy terrain.
dialect
The "Länkter Platt " spoken in Lank differs in nuances from the "Lotumer Platt" spoken in the Latum district.
Platt am Niederrhein is based on the dialects of the early Franconians, which started from here in the 3rd and 4th centuries. Century expanded south and west across the Rhine. The dialects spoken from Krefeld via Meerbusch to Düsseldorf belong to the South Lower Franconian (also called East Limburgish ), which is differentiated from the Ripuarian (with the Kölsch spoken in Cologne ) with the Benrath line (maake-maache line) . The Uerdinger line separates the southern Lower Franconian from the northern Lower Franconian , which begins in the Krefeld district of Hüls (with Hölsch Plott ) and is spoken on both sides of the Rhine until Kleve / Emmerich. In the south, the personal pronoun “I” is spoken as “esch” or “isch”, in the north as “ek” or “eck”. The verb “have” is also spoken differently: further north one says “we häbbe”, further south it means “we hant”. Lank-Latum lies in the transition area of these dialect lines and one can occasionally find the more southern, sometimes the more northern pronunciations in flat speakers.
“Flat” has nothing to do with the “flat country”; In Old Franconian “flat” is also the meaning for “blunt, direct” - “ech saw et dech flat vür de Kopp!”. Platt was always the language of the people par excellence. Although fewer and fewer people understand Platt and even fewer people speak Platt in their daily dealings, the dialect is still present in the Lank-Latumer area. In carnival (Fasteloovend), in dialect verse and in stage plays (Lotumer Buuretheater), platters are cultivated and preserved for posterity.

coat of arms
Description of the coat of arms : The coat of arms of the former Lank office shows St. Stephen under the cross of the Electorate of Cologne , who carries a palm frond in his right hand and a stone in his left hand. There are three bundles of asparagus on his right side and three strawberries on his left.
The first draft of the coat of arms in 1936 only contained the asparagus and strawberries under the Electoral Cologne cross. The combination of the historical cross with the modern depictions of agricultural yields raised concerns in the secret State Archives in Berlin. Even after an exchange of correspondence between the municipality and the district president, no agreement could be reached; a further submission of the coat of arms was rejected in 1938.
The design was supplemented by St. Stephen and this coat of arms led the Lank office from 1952 until the incorporation in 1970.
building
Teloy mill
The Teloy Mill is a windmill built around 1822 . Grain was ground here until 1912, after which the mill fell into disrepair. In 1952 the community took over the building and it took until 1980 for the mill to be extensively renovated and restored. Since then it has served as an event space for exhibitions, concerts and lectures.
Parish Church of St. Stephen
The parish church of St. Stephanus is a three-aisled basilica from 1841 to 1844 with a Romanesque tower around 1200 and the Roman Catholic parish church of Lank-Latum.
House Latum
The manor house Latum , which is already mentioned in a document from 1186, is a former moated castle. The castle burned down in the Thirty Years War in 1642 and was rebuilt in 1686 in a heavily modified form. Today the house is a four-wing, open manor complex.
Water tower
The water tower with a light steel structure was built in 1912. In 1894, the Belgian Emil Degraide founded a celluloid factory in the former factory halls of a weaving mill . The West German Celluloid Works grew continuously in the first few years of its existence, and workers from Berlin and Leipzig were recruited to strengthen the company. After a serious fire in 1906, the company was given up and only reopened in 1910 by other operators under the name Düsseldorfer Celluloidfabrik GmbH zu Lank . The company grew and in 1912 a 50 meter high factory chimney and the 25 meter high water tower were built, the water reservoir of which is stored in a steel ball 6 meters in diameter. Another fire in 1912 led to another change of ownership. The plant was closed in 1985 and later demolished. The porter's house (converted into a medical center in 2011–2012) and the administration building - both of which are listed buildings - are still standing today.
