history

The Vennheide south of Anrath on a French military map from 1805 .

Vennheide was originally part of the Clörath Honnschaft , which had belonged to the Amt Oedt since the Middle Ages , an administrative district of the former Electorate of Cologne . A few years before Napoleon came to power, the Rhineland was occupied by France from 1794 . In the years 1798/1800 the French military administration carried out several territorial reforms in the occupied territories . In the process, the previously electoral office in Oedt was dissolved. The Honnschaft Clörath including its smaller districts such as Vennheide was affiliated to the mayor's office ( French "Mairie" ) Neersen .

After the end of the French era , the area became Prussian in 1814/1815 . Under the Prussian administration, the mayor's office Neersen, including Clörath and Vennheide, was first incorporated into the then newly formed Krefeld district in 1816 , and then from 1819 into the Gladbach district. After the Gladbach district was dissolved, Neersen with Clörath and Vennheide was reclassified to the Kempen-Krefeld district in 1929 . On January 1, 1970, the municipality of Neersen with most of Clörath and Vennheide was incorporated into the then newly formed town of Willich . As a district of the city of Willich, Vennheide has been part of the Viersen district since 1975 , which at that time emerged from the Kempen-Krefeld district with minor changes.

House Stockum

House Stockum is on the western edge of the Vennheide . It is a former moated castle from the early 17th century . Only the manor house and the moat are left of the former castle complex. The house Stockum is as worthy of preservation since 1993 monument under monument protection .

Mission Chapel

On the east side of Viersener Straße is the Vennheide Mission Chapel , also known as the Holy Cross Chapel , at house number 177 . The brick building was initially erected in 1869 without windows. The windows were not installed until 1937 as part of a renovation. The following inscription is carved over the front door: “ Save your soul. Built in honor of the missionary cross 18 JHS 69  ", the abbreviation" JHS  "means" Jesus, Savior, Savior  ". In 2009 the building was again extensively renovated.

The Vennheider Mission Chapel is not a simple path chapel in the sense of a saint's house , but a small church building in which ( Catholic ) services are occasionally held. From an ecclesiastical point of view, the chapel belongs to the Catholic parish of St. Johannes Anrath , to whose parish Vennheide belongs. The small church building has been a listed building since 1985.

St. Nepomuk holy house

On the northern edge of the Vennheide, on the west side of Viersener Straße , next to the Flöthbach there is a little holy house . Inside the sanctuary there is a statue of Saint Nepomuk . Saint Nepomuk, also called Johannes Nepomuk , is venerated as a patron saint against water hazards.

The stone holy house was built in 1878 instead of various wooden predecessors that have been handed down there as far back as the 18th century . Originally a saint of Johannes Nepomuk stood on wooden stakes in the water of the Flöthbach . This holy image is said to have been erected afterwards by a son of the miller of the Gibbermühle out of gratitude for his salvation, when, as a newly baptized child, he was thought to have drowned in the Flöthbach, but was then found undamaged in the reeds on the bank of the creek.

In 1992, the carved wooden figure of St. Nepomuk was stolen as part of an art theft. In the period that followed, donations from Vennheider, Clörather and Anrather citizens raised enough money to buy a replacement figure. The creation of the new figure was finally ordered from a well-known artist by the Clörath-Vennheider Schützengesellschaft. In 1994 or 1995, the new Nepomuk figure was installed in the holy house by the rifle club so that it was safe from theft.

19 years after the theft, in May 2011, the stolen Nepomuk figure was finally found in Xanten . For various reasons, including technical reasons, we decided not to reinstall it in the holy house and replace the two figures. Instead, the resurfaced original is now in the Catholic Anrath parish church of St. Johannes-Baptist .

The holy house, which is also known as the “ Nepomuk Chapel  ”, was placed under monument protection in 1985 with the list number 32 because there is a public interest in its preservation for scientific and ethnological reasons.

Road traffic

Two inner-town thoroughfares cross in the Vennheide:

  • The Viersener Straße runs in north-south direction and serves mainly the neighboring local traffic between Anrath and Viersen . This road used to be a state road , it is the former L 26 . The L 26 was downgraded a few years ago in the area of ​​Anrath / Vennheide to the Gemeindestraße and only now begins at Münchheide .
  • Kreisstraße 17 runs in an east-west direction . The K 17 begins southeast of the Vennheide at Giesgesheide on the L 29 and leads from there via Vennheide and Clörath to Hagen . The K 17 has the street name " Vennheide  " east of the intersection with Viersener Straße , west of this intersection it is simply called " Clörath  ".

Depending on the context, the Vennheide is usually assigned to one of the three neighboring towns of Clörath , Anrath or Neersen , which sometimes seems a bit confusing to outsiders. The bonds to Clörath, especially in the voluntary sector and the fire brigade, come along that Vennheide for centuries part of Honnschaft has been Clörath. The fact that the Vennheide is now colloquially often referred to as its own honnship is historically incorrect: The Vennheide has never been an independent honnship.

The ties to Anrath are likely to be as old as those to Clörath. As part of the Honnschaft Clörath the Vennheide in ecclesiastical terms belonged since the Middle Ages to the parish of the ( Catholic ) church St. John Anrath . In what used to be an almost exclusively Catholic environment, over the centuries this has led to a certain identification with the responsible parish of Anrath, although Vennheide never belonged to Anrath before 1970 in political and administrative terms, but to the Oedt office before 1798 and then until 1969 to Neersen.

Vennheide was also part of Anrath before 1970, despite belonging to the Neersen community at the time. For postal addresses in Vennheide, the place name “ 4151 Neersen Post Anrath  ” had to be given because the Vennheider letter mail was distributed from the Anrath post office . There was also a post office in Neersen, but it was no longer responsible for mail delivery in the northwestern outskirts of Neersen such as Clörath and Vennheide.

In 1970 both Neersen and Anrath were incorporated into the town of Willich. After the incorporation, the Vennheide was assigned to the district of Anrath, which is why Anrath place-name signs were put up at all three entrances to the Vennheide in the 1970s . In the land register of the responsible district court in Krefeld, however, the area remained part of the Neersen district, which goes back to the time it belonged to the former municipality of Neersen before 1970.
