Namedy [ 'na.mə̆.di ] ( dialect : Namde ) is a district of Andernach , a city in the district of Mayen-Koblenz in northern Rhineland-Palatinate .
history
_(4).jpg)
First mentioned in 1200 as "Namedei". As in Andernach, there are Celtic settlement finds here that go far into pre-Christian times. Like Miesenheim and Kell , it has belonged to the Andernach fiscal estate since the early Middle Ages . The area in which the small fishing village of Fornich was once located down the Rhine is also part of Namedy. For the first time in 1858 it had to give way in part to the construction of the left Rhine route and finally to the motorway-like expansion of the B 9 . Today there is only one house in Fornich that has grown together with Brohl-Lützing . Until 1978 the old sign “Fornich, Kreis Mayen” could still be seen on the outskirts of Namedy.
The monastery
The noble Niederhof (see Namedy Castle ) was built in the 14th century . A century earlier, in 1255, the Cistercian convent "zu Namendelh" was built. It is said to have been donated by the nobles of Summersberg, called Romeschutel, who had their headquarters near Rheinbach. They were wealthy in Namedy, we still find a Dietrich Romeschotel in 1349. Appearing abbesses: Elisabeth (1270–1288), Hellinburgis 1327, Alveradis 1360, Carissima (1368–1373), Hilla von Mudersbach 1399, 1400, Katharina von Bell 1409, 1414, Gutgin von Esch 1447, Hildegardis Husmann von Namedy (1518– 1559). The monastery is said to have been generously endowed by the von Hausmann family, they also had their hereditary funeral in the monastery. The little monastery was and always remained poor, even the rich monastery of Himmerod , to which it is subject, did not know how to help it up and prevent its ruin. Also the petitions to Kurtrier by the sons of Antonius von Husmann, because the bones of their ancestors have rested here for 400 years, could not save the monastery. In 1560 it had to be dissolved after 300 years of existence due to the tense economic situation, and the disintegration made it more like a barn than a church. The last abbess Hildegard von Hausmann (von Husmann, 1518–1562), under her influence the cross vault was created in the monastery church, did not employ any novices as early as 1553 , the monastery life came to a standstill around 1558. At the same time, her brother Anton von Hausmann (Huysmann) expanded the castle (see there).
In 1892, the last remnants of the Namedy Monastery were removed. The former monastery church is now part of the parish church of St. Bartholomew, the volume of which was expanded by a modern extension in 1972. At first it was consecrated to Saint Catherine, only around 1600, when the church also became a parish church, was Saint Bartholomew honored as patron saint.
The Rhine rafting company
Around 1800 there was an important branch of the Rhine rafting company on the Namedyer bank of the Rhine for decades . Here the small rafts drifting down the Rhine into the Netherlands were combined into large rafts . This is how Namedy is also used in the book “The Poor People's Raft. Dangerous Rhine journey 1791. ”mentioned by Günter Sachse and the processes involved in assembling the rafts on the Werth are described in detail.
The Namedyer Werth
In the Prussian first recording from 1843 we see an island on the Rhine with a mill drawn in at the tip of the island towards Fornich. As part of the river regulation from the Rhine, seven Kribben and one dam in the direction of Andernach were built on the island in the second half of the 19th century . Due to the increasing siltation and landfills, it becomes a peninsula, the "dead arm of the Rhine" is created, today a bird sanctuary. In the maps up to 1980 the peninsula is still called "Krummenwerth".
From 1929 to 1931, the so-called Children's Republics , the Reich Working Group of Children's Friends , took place at the Namedyer Werth tent camp . One of the supervisors is Willy Brandt , who later became Federal Chancellor, who was still known as Herbert Frahm .
Regional events
As part of the municipal reform , Namedy came to Andernach on June 7, 1969 as a district . Before it was a local community of the Andernach-Land association, today Pellenz association .
In 2005 a company from Brohl announced that it wanted to mine gravel in Namedy , which led to protests by the Namedy population. A short time later, a citizens' initiative was formed whose primary aim is to prevent this project. The problem with this project is that there were some illegal rubbish dumps in the vicinity of the prospecting area, as gravel was extracted there for the construction of the new B 9 ( Krahnenberg Bridge ). Furthermore, the planned gravel pit is located in a flood protection area and there are old orchards with biologically valuable plants. Furthermore, there would be a greater risk of flooding for residents in the lower Schlossstrasse. The city of Andernach reacted quickly to the massive protests and is now pushing ahead with a change to the zoning plan, which is considering gravel paving in the Miesenheim district .

coat of arms
Namedy has its own local emblem (coat of arms), designed according to heraldic correct specifications.
|
|
Blazon : “Quartered by silver and red by a black cross bar, in 1 an obliquely left blue wavy bar, in 2 a golden church in side view, in 3 a symmetrical golden Glevenrad , in 4 a blue fountain falling to the left, covered with a continuous horizontal black Strip." |
| Justification for the coat of arms: The blue wavy bar symbolizes the Rhine on which Namedy lies, the church stands for the local parish church of St. Bartholomew , the golden Glevenwheel indicates the coat of arms of the Hausmann family (divided by silver and black, covered with a golden glaive wheel), which founded the Namedyer Burg approx. 650 years ago and expanded it 450 years ago, and the blue fountain - the bar symbolizes the surface of the earth - stands for the cold water geyser drilled around 1903 , formerly also called Namedyer Sprudel, which at over 60 meters is the highest in the all over the world. The black Balkenkreuz means the former affiliation to Kurköln , (under Cologne sovereignty and spiritual relationship under Trier). |
Attractions
The castle "Burg Namedy" , today owned by the Rhenish Line of the House of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen , is particularly worth seeing . The former moated castle is surrounded by a park where artist festivals take place regularly. The castle has a knight's hall with a library and a large hall of mirrors that is used for concerts. From the former monastery only the monastery church, the parish church of St. Bartholomew , is preserved today.
The former Rhine floodplain island Namedyer Werth (peninsula since around 1857 in the course of the straightening of the Rhine), which has been an important bird sanctuary since 1985, is under special protection . A cold water geyser was drilled there at the beginning of the 20th century (around 1903) , the carbonic acid and mineral water of which was bottled for decades under the name "Namedyer Sprudel". In 1957 it was filled in during road construction work to expand federal highway 9 . The Namedyer Sprudel , formerly a sensation and landmark, was reactivated as the Andernach Geyser in 2003 after a lengthy approval process and has been jumping regularly since July 7, 2006. At around 60 meters high, it is the largest cold water geyser in the world and has been in the Guinness Book of Records since November 2008 .

Namedy is connected to the RB 26 railway line through the railway stop of the same name , which runs every hour between Cologne Messe / Deutz and Mainz Hbf, according to the Rhineland-Palatinate cycle . The closest connections to long-distance rail traffic are Koblenz Hbf, Andernach and Remagen.
Road traffic
The connection in the direction of Cologne / Bonn and in the direction of Koblenz is via the federal road 9 running parallel to the town .
Origin of the place name
There are several theories about the origin and development of the name “Namedy”. One of the oldest is the derivation of the Latin "Nomen Dei" from "IN NOMEN DEI VINCES CONSTANTINE". The Roman Emperor Constantine I had these words of a legend, a vision seen after completing his inspection visit to Andernach and Namedy after a messenger to him of persecution of Christians had reported, thus threatening his mother in the Roman homeland in which he set out in Rekordeilmärschen immediately to banish the danger for Christians and mother. Another derivation is from Old Irish / Old Celtic "nemed" = small consecration chamber ( Latin "sacellum"; see also Nemed , third Irish invader ) or from Latin "nemus, -oris n." - the grove (also holy grove) , Forest because of a Celtic place of worship. A seal of the monastery "zu Namende" from 1367 bears the inscription "SIGILLUM CONVENTUS NAMENDYENSIS" (seal of the Namedyer Konvent). In the same century, the name versions "Name (n) day", "Namedich" and "Namedy" appear.
