After the air raid on November 16, 1944 , the inner city was so destroyed that consideration was given to rebuilding the city from scratch to the south. But they refrained from this project. Instead, the debris was started. The Milke company from Soest had built a light railway with tipping lifts from the city center to the confluence with Gut Weyern . Any rubble that was not recyclable was heaped up there to form a mountain that can still be seen today as an overgrown hill. Today the shooting range of a western club is located in the area of ​​the embankment .

history

On the old city map by Wenceslaus Hollar from 1634, the street is labeled "Bedber Straße". It leads to the Bedbur settlement south of Düren , which was mentioned as early as 1289. In 1853 construction began on the Prämienstrasse to Nideggen . It was inaugurated in 1855. In an old address book from 1882, today's Nideggener Strasse is called Düren-Nideggener Bezirksstrasse . In a city map from around 1903, the southern section of Nideggener Strasse from today's Piusstrasse was still called Chaussee to Kreuzau u. Nideggen .

From 1908 to 1944 the Dürener Kreisbahn (DKB) tram ran on Nideggener Strasse. The single-track route led from Markt to Niederau and on to Kreuzau . There were stops at Friedrichplatz (with a turnout), Jesuitenhof (with a turnout), Mühlenweg (today Dechant-Bohnekamp-Straße) and at Weyerhof. After the Second World War , the line was not rebuilt.
