history

Origin of the village name

The old village was first named after a farm whose owner was called Wynannt, with Winnadtsholz or Weinnandtsholz. Over time, the place name has been limited to the place name wood.

During the resettlement, the additional designation "New" or "Old" was added to the place name to differentiate between the old and new location. After the completion of the resettlement and demolition of the old location, the additional designation "New" was removed.

Settlement history

It has been known since the late 1960s that there was a Roman rubble site at the relocation site for (new) wood . In 1994, excavations and archaeological investigations began to isolate the rubble. The excavations took place from 1997 to 2000 because it was not possible to preserve the settlement. At the resettlement site, 700 years of uninterrupted settlement history have been documented; the oldest settlement dates back to the Late Hallstatt Period and the Late Latène Period around 450 BC. The courtyards here were from the 4th to 1st century BC. In addition to homesteads, numerous Celtic vessels were also found. A farm from the Elbe area from the 1st century AD was found northwest of the settlement from the Late Iron Age. A rectangular courtyard, the predecessor of the Roman Villa Rustica , was found 110 meters from it. In the 2/3. In the 19th century it was destroyed by fire and not rebuilt here. A post structure was found from the 4th century, which indicates an agricultural and craft settlement. Since 1999, the construction of new wood has started at the resettlement site.

In the course of the resettlement, the old wood chapel was demolished. The diocese of Aachen announced three years ago that it would not have a new chapel built at the resettlement site. Church services should also no longer be celebrated. The chapel in the center of the village today was implemented by the interest group. The diocese of Aachen did not participate in the construction or the costs. The new chapel was inaugurated in 2007, a year later than originally planned. The design of the chapel came from the Aachen city planner Professor Horst Ulrich. The old chapel in old wood was to be taken as a model, other designs were rejected by the citizens' council. In addition to the furnishings of the old chapel, the chapel also houses the canopy, door and bells.

The war memorial from the old place found a new place next to the chapel.
