Niederheid is a district of the medium- sized town of Geilenkirchen in the Heinsberg district in North Rhine-Westphalia .

geography

location

Niederheid is located about one and a half kilometers north of the core city of Geilenkirchen on the federal road 221 , which runs from Straelen in the Kleve district via Heinsberg and Geilenkirchen to Alsdorf in the Aachen city region . The street is now used as a bypass around the town and town. The actual core of the formerly small hamlet was formed by a few larger courtyards, which were located in the manner of a forest hoof village on the south side of today's Von-Humboldt-Straße, which branches off at right angles from the "Landstraße", a path that connected Trips Castle to Gillrath via Niederheid through the village pond on the north side. Behind the courtyards there was a fenced-in meadow in the courtyard strip, then the field followed (Heyder Feld). Some of the former striped corridors can still be explored using the paths in the tranchot map. The area north of the road is referred to as heather (Bruyères, Br) on the Tranchot map , interspersed with moorland (Marais, M), hence the many former waterholes that remained when peat was extracted . Today the face of the place has changed. The heathland favored the settlement of military and industry. Today the place is surrounded by three industrial areas. The corresponding north-eastern Geilenkirchen district of Hochheid has largely been able to retain its character.

Waters

In heavy rain and when snowmelts , the surface water flows from Niederheid and Rischden to the Kötteler Schar (GEWKZ 282894). The brook runs past Uetterath , through Dremmen and flows into the Wurm at Grebben after a length of 9.498 km .
