Miesheim
Miesheim is a desert , a lost place between Binsfeld and Düren in the Düren district in North Rhine-Westphalia .
history
The place, which was originally called "Meisheim" or "Meisgeim", was one of the Jülich hereditary forest farms in the forest county. It consisted of about three farms and a chapel. In 1584 an Adam Römer owned the Miesheim farm as a fief of the Kornelimünster Abbey . In 1694 Adam Huppertz was last named as hereditary forester of Miesheim. Thus at least one manor still existed.
The general assumption that the village abandoned in the 13th century has not been established. It was first mentioned in a document in 1302. Miesheim belonged to the subordinate Binsfeld in the Duchy of Jülich . The first documentary mention took place on November 20, 1302, when the Düren citizen Heinrich von Echtz sold grain to the Aachen Marienstift and among other things used arable land as security, the "jacet in campo de Meisgeim", that is, in the Meisheim field.
remains
There is a depression in the field north of Landesstrasse 271, where the village pond was . The Miesheimer Weg in Düren is reminiscent of the earlier place.
In the autumn of 2015, extensive archaeological excavations were carried out for the new construction of the Düren B 56n bypass.
