Nothberg is a place of pilgrimage in North Rhine-Westphalia and has been a southeastern part of the city ​​of Eschweiler in the North Rhine-Westphalian city ​​region of Aachen since 1932 .

history

From 1800 to 1815, Nothberg and Hastenrath with a total of 1,400 souls belonged to the French canton of Eschweiler and to the Eschweiler District Court . In 1815 the Rhineland and thus Nothberg came to Prussia . Nothberg belonged since then to Düren in the administrative district of Aachen . In 1833 Christine Englerth was granted the concession for the coal storage facilities in the Nothberg community, among others. From 1856, these deposits were brought to light in the reserve mine near Nothberg . The production capacities of the reserve mine and the coking plant were fully extended in 1937/38. 1,780 people were employed, producing 580,000 tons of coking coal annually, with the mining primarily taking place from the 600-meter level. The coking plant produced 850 tons of coke every day. In September 1944, shelling and bombardment made the mine inoperable and within a few days the shafts filled with water so that they could no longer be sumped. Nothberg lost his largest employer to date.

On October 1, 1932, the Nothberg office with the towns of Nothberg, Bohl and Volkenrath and the municipality of Hastenrath together with Scherpenseel became part of the city ​​of Eschweiler in the Aachen district . Until then, these localities belonged to the Düren district . At the time of incorporation, Nothberg had 2934 inhabitants; the last mayor was named Dr. Heinrich Kreuzer. On October 23, 1979, Nothberg was connected to the gas network.

geography

The Otterbach and Omerbach streams flow through Nothberg, both of which flow into the Inde .

coat of arms

The 1923 approved Nothberger coat of arms shows a lion, the castle and the year 1544. It is based on the old council seal Nothbergs of 1463 and 1544. The Jülich official seal (of 1443) bore the inscription "scraborum de Bergis walrami" and the coat of arms Palandts. During the time when the barons of Palandt, as officials of the Wilhelmstein Office, carried the seal, they continued to use a seal with their coat of arms and the inscription "Johann Palant" (1443–1611).

Old church

The Old Nothberg Church from 1425 was demolished in 1970 together with the neighboring Otten restaurant. The building was so damaged by mining damage to the Reserve Pit that it was actually no longer used from 1906 and later only used as a replacement for the new church, which had to be closed for a while due to earlier mining damage, as well as a common room for rehearsals for the church choir and youth work and continued to fall apart. Old church tombstones have been built into a property wall at the site of the old church.
